Around the same time his DJ partner, DJ Abilities was winning DMC battles and making a name for himself and their record label, RhymeSayers Entertainment.
A group album, a few solo projects and tours in between and the duo of Eyedea & Abilities have finally released their new project, By The Throat and recently dropped a video for the song “Smile.”
Starting today, November 20th, Eyedea & Abilities are also on tour.
