(SLUG)
I sit in the back of the chamber away from the strangers
Like I'm a big banger
Fuck your theories, clearly it's a myriad
Of weak characters, and second to last period
Put the asterisk by your name
With a footnote explaining the shattered glass frame
The gas came, the smile was afflicted
They called it fame, highly addictive

(MURS)
I graduated like a cylinder
My signature can't be recognized by you minuscule miniatures
Consummate con artists conning all you conformists
Pushing my penmanship, pinnacle performance
A peg leg, I profit through piracy
I still sell, indulge in the irony
And I will be the last man standing
Screaming, “Land, ho!” and sink your whole damn planet

(SLUG)
Give it up, give it here, I want full attention
Sharpen up the number two, time to start the testing
Sentences etched into the development
Confliction internal, at war with your skeleton

(MURS)
I got an airtight alibi, no holes in my story
Got some hood homies that can hold that for me
There's new ways to get high but all of that bore me
Don't wanna be strung out on coke when you're forty


{{ CHORUS }}

(MURS)
Swim together and drown separate
Do not let it be a night of eyes like x's
Do not let ? facilitate
Eyes like x's, tongues like figure eights

Stick together and die separate
Do not let it be a night of eyes like x's
Do not let it ? facilitate
Eyes like x's, tongues like figure eights


(MURS)
Here it is a big day for the little rhymers
Putting out a new record, all they do is criticize us
All up on the Internet, they analyze us then they doubt us
Can't they see these men are writers? All that do is energize us
Powered up, you sitting with that sour cup
Crying over spilled milk, mad cause your hour's up
It's our turn, better luck next time
Kicked yours, until then respect mine

(SLUG)
I'm a product of too many Minnesota winters
Go figure, they call me a go-getter
Had a fetish for putting letters together
Did it for the adventure cause we know better, there's no treasure
Just sex, drugs, rock and roll, and guns
And a visit to the dentist every twenty-four months
I'm never respected peaches or plums
That's why I speak to your face and keep my hand on your lunch

(MURS)
Boss up or bow down to big-timers
We down-low, dodging all you dickriders
You see me talking to a chick you know I'm trying to take her home
Cockblock my convo I'm cracking your camera phone

(SLUG)
Out hollering cause my tolerance is thin
I'm calling offense moves with my defense in
Gotta watch you fools with every open eye
Don't forget to watch them ones that try to hold you hot

Riot is a mirror to America. A battle cry. A people's anthem. A reminder, to not lay down and just accept societies bullshit if it doesn't agree with your inner-self. Make some noise, demand justice. 

Riot is the first single released via Stophouse Music Group since his collaborative project with PROF in 2009, Recession Music. Slim will be releasing singles all winter, be ready.

The Explanation feat. Aesop Rock, Reason of Grayskul & Eligh of Living Legends

Z&G&E (Zion I, The Grouch and Eligh) and Evidence birthed a dope song and video this past month while on the road together! The guys just finished the extremely successful (mostly sold out) 19 city "How The Grouch Stole Christmas Tour".

"The response has been overwhelming and we just wanted to give the people a little gift for the holidays" says The Grouch about the free download.

Amp Live of Zion I made the beat and the song was complete when Evidence recorded his verse backstage at the Fox Theatre in Boulder Colorado. We shot the video at the venue right before our show in Sacramento. DJ Icewater did the cuts.

Merry Christmas, Happy Hannukah, Kwanza or whatever it is you choose to celebrate!

BACKGROUND STORY:
As it is World AIDS Days and I have thought about these children every single day since being acquainted with them almost two years ago, I decided that I can no longer sit on this song. In January of 2011 I visited Durban, South Africa to help mentor and provide care for HIV-infected children. For me, it was a crash course education on their situation, culture, history, and various forms of treatment (or lack there of.) With a reported 5.6 million people living with HIV, South Africa has the highest HIV infection rate in the world. That is mainly due to misinformation propagated by the government as well as the people's lack of access to education and proper medical care. With so many people dying of AIDS in this area, many children are often left to fend for themselves in overcrowded "orphanages", many of which have no electricity or running water according to what I witnessed. 

My trip to Durban and the surrounding rural areas was organized by people who were filming a documentary on a community of people who were receiving alternative treatment along with their normal ARV (anti-retroviral) treatment. I joined a group of national and international poets whose task it was to make a connection with the children and communicate their story to the world. Toward the end of my stay I wrote a song called UBUNTU (Water Into Wine) which I was initially hoping to release as a companion piece to the film. The documentary will probably do a much better job of explaining the vast array of emotions we all went through, but as it still isn't completed I figured it might be best to just release the song now. 

The artwork for UBUNTU is a portrait of Nonoti, one of the younger girls who made a deep and everlasting impression on everyone she met. We lost Nonoti to HIV-related complications earlier this year, so along with the children I name in this song, and all the great people I met during my stay in Durban, a special dedication goes out to her (R.I.P.) 
If you're ever given the opportunity to visit Africa and provide a helping hand, I highly recommend it. You will learn more than you could ever imagine about yourself, humanity and the world in general.

Much love and many thanks to everyone involved!
