2nd 116 album
Producer Joseph Prielozny spoke on the creation of this EP in an interview with Rapzilla:
I grew up playing in a punk band and we wrote terrible songs but would always do rap covers because our friends would come to our shows and they hated our songs.
I got a phone call … from a guy named Lecrae, and he said, “Man I’ve been so uninspired lately, this is amazing bro. We gotta do a record.” I said, “Hey man, I love your stuff but I have zero time to work on this right now. I’m working 16 hours for a producer in Nashville.”
I went from Nashville and visited Lecrae in Memphis. I can’t do an album but I can probably do six songs. It took us forever and it did well from them. We always spoke about doing Amped 2, I don’t know if it would happen but I would love for it to. When KB did Weight & Glory, we did the Amped version of “Zone Out.” Sometimes Ben [Washer] and I will text each other say, “Amped 2” question mark.
