Thumbs are no longer anatomical but rather the static characters of approval for a job well done. The likes that catalog our individual preferences.

They grade the successes playing out in a virtual world and within our own minds. Endlessly gathered into a sprawling market-ready databases rivalled only by our idea of a God.

Thumbs is the latest effort from Busdriver to further explore the concept of a homogenous citizenry from his last record Perfect Hair.

🔥Pain & Glory is more than an EP—it’s a statement.🔥
Four anthems about what happens after the lights dim, after the touchdowns, after the trophies. This is about brotherhood, faith, struggle, and leaving a legacy bigger than the game.

🏈Brothers in Arms – Loyalty runs deeper than blood, forged in sweat, sacrifice, and love.

🏈Legacy Season – It’s not about stats, it’s about seeds. Leaving something that lives long after you’re gone.

🏈Pain & Glory – Every scar tells the story; every loss paved the way for victory.

🏈Wrist Up – Raising more than trophies, it’s lifting your people, your faith, and your purpose.

This project is a soundtrack for the ones who grind in silence, fight for their family, and believe that pain is part of the process. It’s for the next generation chasing greatness—don’t lose yourself, stay focused, stay locked in.

Pain & Glory. After the pain comes the story. After the fight comes the fire. After the fire comes the crown.
