While They Sleep (Remix)’ serves as an audio introduction to Edo Bushido; A collaborative project by veteran Indie Hip-Hop artists Substantial and Asheru (The Boondocks), DJ/illustrator DJ AAROCK and illustrator/author Micah Blacklight. Ash and Sub trade verses over a dark, melodic banger produced by Substantial with AAROCK on the cuts. Singer/songwriter, Stephanie Gayle once again lends her amazing voice to the chorus while the cover art,handled by Micah Blacklight, features the crew’s mascot hovering above a teenage girl in a deep sleep surrounded by books. Lyrically, the emcees/fathers spit about sacrificing rest to ensure that their families rest easy knowing that they have provided for them. Asheru declares “Burning both ends of the candle has become a bad habit/Tunnel vision for the future and the plan to go and grab it” while Substantial raps “I ain’t just writing lyrics, every night I’m fighting limits / Trying to push’em up, timing might be bad but it’s good for us / Food for thought and bellies after nights when I was cooking up”.

This is just the tip of the iceberg for Edo Bushido. Over the last two years, they have made live appearances at several conventions including Otakon, Momocon, Blerdon and Anime Mid Atlantic. 2020 promises more events, more music and MUCH more.
