Release Notes:

"Bayani" marks a creative and emotional leap forward for Blue Scholars. The four
years since recording their first album has been marked by four years of war and
uncertainty. People everywhere are looking for answers, growing tired of the
banality and repetitiveness of the music and culture that currently dominates
the airwaves. Similar to the wave of protest music that emerged during the
Vietnam war, "Bayani" is a statement record stamped with the anger, depression
and the slowly emerging hope of these uncertain times. Less sloganeering and
more storytelling, Bayani showcases a more focused Geologic and a polished Sabzi
coming into their own as a premier DJ-emcee duo. "The Distance" tells the story
of a working-class immigrant, accompanied by a dark melodic soundscape that
recalls a Philippine dance song. Geo also flexes his narrating skills on "Joe
Metro," an ode to Seattle's lone form of public transportation and "50 Thousand
Deep," recalling the 1999 "Battle in Seattle" at the historic WTO protests.
