Limited Edition Framed Canvas Print of The Achievement Gap
Very few things are Black&White...

The Achievement Gap wasn't only meant to be audibly appealing but also visually engaging. The artwork, shrouded in a bit of mystery as Foci has yet to explain publicly what it all means, is now available in its entirety, for you to decipher.

Commissioned by K "Foci" Wilson with close assistance from Mario "Antiix" Gutierrez and painted by Thomas Wu, set out to create a unique vision that reflected the content of the entire album.

The image is set within a white wooden bevelled edge frame with dimensions of 27 1/4" wide and 11 1/2" height and is quite the site to behold.

You aren't just getting a piece of Foci history for your collection but you are supporting "Team Foci" as the proceeds from the sales of this Limited Edition piece will go to getting them to...

The Achievement Gap in physical form signed by Foci

This 6 Panel DigiHub is truly a piece of art in itself.
Upon opening the CD, The commissioned painting of "The Classroom" by Thomas Wu (LAUSD Art Teacher) reveals over 40 students packed in a tiny classroom with students skin tones going progressively from light to dark.

This masterpiece speaks volumes to the actual definition of the achievement gap and is the central focus of the content on the album. A 16 picture photo collage represents each song on the album from tracks 1-15 and the last picture will resonate with those of you in education.

In true tradition the artwork includes the thank yous and credits holding down all those involved.

We'll also throw in a mystery merch item.
It could be a sticker... it could be a beanie... it could be an upcoming concert ticket.

Includes unlimited streaming of The Achievement Gap via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more. ... more

lyrics

Chorus
Huuuuh, staring out the window wondering about it all
Huh huh huuuuh, feeling kind of lonely ‘cuz I don't know who to call
Hey, I said no better blues
Ho, I like em no better blues
Hey, mirror looking at you
It reflects what you see but never what you knew

Verse 1
He thought he had it made
Lucked up with the chick he had since the 10th grade
Put it all in football
But those eggs in that basket will eventually hit a wall
And it did after days of playing arena
Settled down with the same one badder than a misdemeanor
But if you missed her demeanor it was like a felony
Then you never really ever seen her despite what you're telling me
Two faces opposite the bat's man
A cat scan could only reveal a trapped plan
Benign but it could've looked like cancer
Getting out of the league was the only answer
So back to his music beats on beats
Got with a sick tight click called the GC
And these dudes were lyrically pleasing
To any who found it within reason
To play treason in a day and age where seeing isn't believing
The seasons come and go without ever pleasing
Any and every soul because what he wanted wasn't even
Along the same lines of any of the meetings
And it was revealing when he walked away
From all the hard work in the linking of the chains
With that link out I continue to explain
With that link out more still remain

Chorus
Huuuuh, staring out the window wondering about it all
Huh huh huuuuh, feeling kind of lonely ‘cuz I don't know who to call
Hey, I said no better blues
Ho, I like em no better blues
Hey, mirror looking at you
It reflects what you see but never what you knew

Verse 2
Blair kids called him Carlos Mencia
Hard-pressed to find someone that smoked more cheeba
Than him with eyes glazed red glistenin'
The idea came after listenin' Ghostface
Chillin' inside what was not your average rehab
She's glad at the fact he like he man
And he like he can do it he won't ruin what they have
The greens used to keep him focused in the lab
An addiction to something on a distant path
The path interfered with everything they had
He was choosy with groupies never smoked on a Lucy
But loosely spoke off lips when he was grooving to that green leaf
And swore to the green peace
Leanin' on that crutch to keep him up on two feet
And it was relieving when he walked away
With that link out more still remain

Chorus
Huuuuh, staring out the window wondering about it all
Huh huh huuuuh, feeling kind of lonely ‘cuz I don't know who to call
Hey, I said no better blues
Ho, I like em no better blues
Hey, mirror looking at you
It reflects what you see but never what you knew

Verse 3
So what remains of the last from that GC
A dude with a mission and a mind of a real king
Yola told him can't be a proffit in his scene
As he used to put everyone else in front of he
On that chivalry but never attached to any
Why would this guy settle when there always came a plenty
Why should the sky tremble when the eyes see the twenties
Rollin on a boulevard of stars and dollars pass up pennies
Let the cream rise to the top cash rules every around so we never stop
Or ever quit 'cuz them seeing his progress makes them sick may make him rich
Focused with that plan as he never went astray
It was revealing when I walked away
All that hard work in linking of the chains
With that link out I still remain
