We wanted this album to have absolutely no samples or any chance of copyright infringement. These are all original, organic works unlike so much rap and hip hop out there today. This is a steady breeze of fresh air into your ear canal. Capable of being chill background music if turned down low enough but has the ability to be foreground music if the appropriate volume is reached. Please listen to every single lyric, Eli is so great with keeping the listener entertained and thinking. We really hope you enjoy this. We know you will
