"Let Him Go" was originally conceived by PK and Xman of the Ex Hang Ups in mid 2014.  After the massive support from friends and online fans from the release of "Take it to the Bridge" the Ex Hang Ups wanted to continue to push the envelope of the rap rock group into new territory.  The eruption of protests across the nation starting with Ferguson was a big part of that inspiration.  Originally the track opened with a "We Will Rock You" Queen-esque drum beat but was eventually replaced with PK's anthemic guitar track.  PK envisioned the song as a hard hitting "Bridge" and Xman as an arena like "Anthem."  Marrying those two visions took time, lots of time.  It wasn't until PK met up with Michael Sheldon randomly at an industry event did the group feel that something special was about to happen.  With the third and final track that is now heard on the track, Shelton TRIPLED his rap...if for no other season, to make it do what it does!  We thank all our fans for listening and sharing our music.
