The artist, best known for the inventive mash-ups heard on his underground mix CD "Uneasy Listening Vol. 1," reportedly faced considerable obstacles in clearing all the desired samples for the 15-song set. "Shifting Gears" features collaborations with Linkin Park's Chester Bennington ("Walking Dead") and Public Enemy's Chuck D ("Shock and Awe"). Underground rappers Aceyalone and Mystic appear on "Everything Changes," while Murs and Supernatural rap on the unabashedly silly "Breakfast Club" (sample lyric: "I love Count Chocula / when I'm watching my cartoons"). First single "Listen to the DJ" featuring Jurassic 5's Soup was unveiled last summer via the in-game soundtrack to Electronic Arts' "Madden NFL 2005." Other acts sprinkled throughout the album include Lyrics Born, Whipper Whip, Luke Sick and Busdriver.
