After a five year break exploring new sounds and building their personal repertoires, the dynamic duo of Eyedea & Abilities return with the follow up to their 2004 critically acclaimed sophomore album E&A. With biting guitars, fuzzy keyboards, melodic choruses, and some of their most intricate turntable work to date, By The Throat cuts right to the vein and advances far beyond Eyedea & Abilities battle tested history (winners of HBO Blaze Battle, Rocksteady, Scribble Jam and the DMC’s).

Throughout the nineties the duo played an important role in the development of the emerging underground Hip Hop scene alongside friends Atmosphere, Aesop Rock, EL-P, the Living Legends, Sage Francis, Blueprint and more. Always pushing the boundaries, Eyedea & Abilities have not only grown but have elevated their talents and once again successfully brought them together with By The Throat.

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.

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.

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.
