Sole & DJ Pain 1 – I’m Happy

Less than three months after hitting us with their Death Drive project, MC Sole and DJ Pain 1 are already prepping the official follow-up. On August 26th, the unlikely pairing will release their Pattern Of Life EP. Led by “I’m Happy,” a rebuttal to folks who associate having a critical worldview with being pissed off all the time. As Sole puts it:

“Recently I’ve been getting a lot of strange feedback from people who listen to my music, “you sound so angry,” “why are you so pissed all the time,” etc. The truth is, I’m not angry. Sure I get pissed about things here and there, but after all is said and done I love my life and feel really blessed to be able to do what I love for a living while addressing shit I’m concerned about. To put it simply, I’m not angry… I’m at war with the world lightheartedly.”

Pre-order Pattern of Life here, or purchase a copy in person at an upcoming tour stop.
