It has been incredible watching this project grow from an idea we had sitting in a dorm room damn near one year ago, to becoming the project that is Quality of Living. It has taken a years worth of creative energy and collaboration with some of the dopest people I know to make this project happen. This past year has been a real whirlwind, from moving away from our mama’s and our city to go to school in Cali, to making it hail Caprisuns (Beeba) at Capitol Hill Block Party, it’s been incredibly fun and drastically different from any other period in our lives. For the first time we have been hit with a bit of a sobering feeling that, “dang…we kinda have to grow up a little.” Well not a lot just a little and maybe mature a tiny bit. Through all this shit we have realized that what life really is all about is doing what ever you can to enjoy it all as much as possible, do what ever you can to raise your Quality of Living.
We couldn’t have done any of this without the crazy ass amount of people we had and have working in our corner. So an incredible thanks goes to all that helped us along the way.

Morgan Backus – the man behind Beeba Vision 1 and three years later Beeba Vision II and the producer of like half the tracks we have ever made. His motivational speeches and dope ass beats are why we spent this past summer in the studio and not at the beach.

Spike Anderson- the reason we started rapping none of this would have happened without him. Today he takes the role of the guy that will sit down and tell us when our music and ideas suck and get us on the right path.

Nic Beeba – He is La Familia…makes this shit fun…makes shows crack…and will ball on a budget with us at the Taco spots and sneaker shops across the world..we got really close on that long PDX tour.

Kromagnon – He’s new to the family and helped catastrophically with the sounds on QOL he went well beyond the three dope ass beats he made for the album but he gave us incredible feedback on every song on this and really brought the project to its full potential. We are incredibly excited to keep working with him dude has skills

Justo (the Physics) – The Physics…I dont even need to say much else…its a honor to be able to work with the people that we have been listening to for years. They make some of the dopest music in the world to me straight up they have an incredible sound and its awesome to be able to get on some Justo beats and add our own character to them.

Jay-P – The producer of Lucky Me, that beat is gnarly as hell. I still trip every time I hear the bass line on it. Hes a dope ass producer from the town and has always been willing to work with us. get familiar.

Schuyler Karr – Hes been dictating the sounds behind BFA since day one, if any body knows he made the “Do You Know” beat which was the first song we ever made, one of my favorite producers and people incredibly talented dude.

Sophie Messing – Captured the essence of Quality of living in the album cover

Kristian – Along with the MO fam, Kristian helped us swag out this release

Ellis/ Martin – Little homies that do little homie shit and always take all the shit we give them when they roll with us.

Jamarie Torrence – our spiritual guide/best buddy

Parker Reddington – He recorded mixed and mastered all of QOL. Which means he had to put up with all our shenanigans and nonsense in the studio all summer he probably spent more time then us listening to this album and getting it all put together real nice. It always takes our music to a new level with his tips on recording and with his mixing and mastering abilities if hes not sick of us and if there is a next BFA project im sure we will be recording it with him at Slap Crackle Pop. Swag

The Local Scene – Nuf Said. Working with Sabzi on the BFA Say joints this summer was incredibly dope. Opening up for the Blue Scholars at their album release was one of the tighetest and most humbling experiences of my life. Rocking With Sol and Scribes for our last show was probably the best way to end my summer. We have received so much advice from all of those artist and man others in the Seattle scene. One of the dopest part of Seattle hip hop is that the big accomplished homies really know what its like to be young ambitious and in love with this rap shit and they are always down to lend some knowledge to some kids.

Most importantly everyone that fucks with our music. You guys have been there with us as we put out music or videos or perform at shows. These experiences are what keep us inspired to make music. Quality of Living like yee!

A very big thank you to Sophie Messing for helping us capture the Quality of Living project in a single image. Quality of Living will be available for download September 1st at brothersfromanother.bandcamp.com

As we approached the last few hundred miles of what was a 16 hour drive home to Seattle from our college in Whittier California we became overcome with excitement with things such as our first sighting of familiar places, Such as the Portland Nike Outlet, the Tacoma Dome, whatever all those buildings are in Olympia and finally with our first sight of the Seattle skyline off of I5. After our first 7 months or so living away from the city we grew up in we were finally back home…this is the emotion we tried to capture in this song and video…Seattle Summers like YEEEE!!! We were able to capture this thanks to Morgan Backus who gave us yet another dope ass beat, Zac Macconnel who made this video, Spike and Jamari who have been our musical spiritual guides, Parker who recorded it for us, and of course Beeba..this is his vision..YEEE!

Heres a little footage from our performance at the Blue Scholars album release party. That was incredibly fun and its incredibly crazy to think that I grew up pretending to do homework while instead bumping that Loyalty album and all other Scholars classics. And while they low key ruined my education it was an honor to rock with those guys. Blue Scholars run shit like yeee!

Blue Scholars Album release epic town shit…we will be opening along with the good sin on the second night of album release festivities get your tickets quick its gonna be wild…in the word of mo b “come have fun before have fun after and hey maybe even have a little fun during”
