Self Scientific: 'Trials Of The Blackhearted' (EP)

We started hearing about Chace Infinite and DJ Khalil's latest project as Self Scientific in late March, when the duo linked with Krondon and Freddie Gibbs for "Peaceful." In that post, I noted that it had been a while since we had heard a proper release from Self Scientific. Well, that all changes here with their free EP, Trials of the Blackhearted, which includes eight new tracks from the duo. DJ Khalil handles all of the production with guests such as Game, Big K.R.I.T., and Talib Kweli offering their services.

The EP came with the following message from Self Scientific:

In Ancient Kemet they believed the heart was the organ that controlled thought, logic and knowledge. The weighing of the heart, against a feather, was used to determine if people were righteous or wicked during their time on earth. If their heart was heavier than the feather, the Heart was devoured. With the world rapidly changing, and evolving beyond recognition, people are becoming even more desensitized to the conditions we exist in. The most heinous acts are applauded as “interesting” and “entertaining” while genuine acts of love, and justice are shunned. We can sensationalize but we are scared of true emotion, we have more information now than ever before but no one wants to read. The truth is scary, it is easier to escape through our favorite vice, than to deal with the harsh reality of the present. Our hearts are heavy, our hearts are dark, these are the Trials Of The Blackhearted.
