Sun Zoo Thanks: M.Wu for her feedback, advice, occasional spiritual counsel, and especially for her last second little piece of editing genius. The album wouldn’t be the same without you. Sarah Clark, for her patience, time, and talent. I know that I just kept asking you to do more, and I’m sorry, it’s just that every time I did, you came up with something amazing. DJ HDL, for making everything I do sound better, always. Alex for his swift and beautiful graphic work with the cover, and also for his feedback about the music. Tim, for his feedback, support, etc. Everyone who gets mentioned on the album for being a good sport about it. Warren for being head of my west coast promotion team, and also for your feedback. Ashley for her assistance in translating the chorus of “Sex Love Life”. Cire, Viktomajarmo, and Oursin, for their production work, which sounds great. I hope that I did your beats justice. Nate the Skate for showing love and for (hopefully) turning some of this into a video. Everyone at Amie St. for showing love and for coming up with a really cool site that everyone should visit. Everyone at the Providence Black Rep for showing me love and inspiring me to keep writing and for putting on some great shows. BTS (especially Angela) and Vienna Teng for giving Sarah and me a great forum to try something new. Everyone who reviewed, linked, promoted, passed out, or mentioned Hope Flies and anyone who helps distribute this one. Everyone who listens. Everyone who is dedicated to making good hip-hop, from Spoonfull and the rest of my Solid Ground/Lone Lotus peoples to Def Jukies to Lupe Fiasco and Joe Budden. Slept on Fam and Taiyamo Denku for providing great examples of indie artists grinding and getting real results out of it. Everyone whose music I sampled. I’m giving this out for free, so I hope that you don’t sue me, but if you do you should know that I’m really broke so you’re not going to get anything out of me. My Campaign Activism classes from Explo ‘06. Can you spot the songs you guys influenced? My friends here and elsewhere, fellow Explo warriors, fans (do you exist?), family, teachers and students, and books. My worldview has changed pretty dramatically in the past year or so, and everybody that I’ve been in contact with has been a part of it. Everybody that I forgot who deserves it. I’m sorry, it’s late, and I was drunk last night, which counts.

Big thanks, too, to anybody who helps me out promoting this album and spreading the word any way that you can. I truly appreciate it.
