Eyedea & Abilities
E&A
IN STORES NOW

Eyedea and Abilities is what you get when you combine the very best of two opposite ends of Hip Hop's musical spectrum. On one end you have the MC/Lyricist, Eyedea, who has proven himself time and time again, not only as an extraordinary song writer, but also as a master at battling and freestyling. On the other end you have Abilities, the DJ/Producer, whose talent from the battle, to the mixtape, to production has resonated on the underground for quite some time now. When you put these two extremes together, you get the new, innovative and exciting dynamic we like to call E&A.

Eyedea & Abilities
Now 12"
IN STORES NOW

Simply put Now is the amazing first single from the upcoming full-length titled E&A. One listen and people won't believe the growth of this young duo. The B-Side "E&A Day" is a hard hitting battle track which finds Eyedea giving Blaze Battle founders and other non- believers a piece of his mind while Abilities cuts shit up. As a bonus Jake One steps in and completely flips the vibe with a the "E&A Day" remix.

First Born
IN STORES NOW

First Born is a wordy, thought provoking debut from Eyedea & Abilities. This full length LP boasts 18 tracks plus a bonus live freestyle joint "What You Want Us To Freestyle About?" Featuring slug as well as classics like "Big Shots" and a turntablist track from Dj Abilities.

Eyedea & Abilities
Blindly Firing 12"
IN STORES NOW

This sophmore 12" from Eyedea & Abilities features 3 new joints off the First Born LP. Clean, dirty and instrumental versions. "Before And After" features Ohio's Blueprint (Greenhouse Effect) who teams up with Eyedea to make one of 2001's sickest battle joints. This one should please all Eyedea's blaze battle fans.
