The world is going nuts. But if you look for it, there is still great beauty to be found. Sometimes you don’t even have to look for it. Other times you have to try to make it yourself. And then there are times you have to tear something apart to find something beautiful inside. ” The album include Koool G Murder, also known as Kelly Logsdon, and P-Boo, Mike Sawitzke, with E. The group will also be supported by The Deconstruction Orchestra and Choir. Production of the album included E, with some songs produced by Mickey Petralia.
