"It's

The Song:
This new track contains all the beloved elements
of a classic Junk Science joint: that gritty, intentionally
low-fi beat quality, complements of DJ Snafu, and deep,
thoughtful, relevant lyrics crafted by
Baje One. Entitled "Running Shoes," the
song is easily enjoyed upon its first listening due to its groovy beat,
heavily supported by the kick drum and electric guitar, and Baje's effortless
flow. The words, however, have more to them than one might think. Baje himself
explains "Running
Shoes" as a track that was written in celebration of President
Obama's recent election, and the fact that things in general seemed like they would
change. Baje says, "Just the possibility alone that things could be
different than they were before, that was enough for me. So that's where
this song comes from. It's an Obama song that has nothing to do with politics."
The
Background:
Junk Science is made up of Baje One on
the mic and DJ
Snafu on the beats.
This duo met in the mid 90's while attending high school in Brooklyn, NY
and immediately started making music. It was not until 2003 that the pair
buckled down to record their debut LP Feeding Einstein.
The album received little notice until 2005, when Baje and Snafu won Scion's
NextUp Song Contest with their track "Roads." The
video for this song caught the attention of DJ Ese, founder
of Embedded Records, who signed Junk Science that year
and released Feeding Einstein to critical acclaim. 2007 saw the
release of their sophomore effort Gran'Dads Nerve Tonic on Definitive
Jux Records, which
they aligned with a promotional limited edition beer created by Brooklyn
brewery Six Points Craft Ales. Their third album, A
Miraculous Kind of Machine,
is due out later this year.
