No Wising Up No Settling Down is a solo studio album by American hip hop artist Sole. It was released on May 1, 2013. [2] [3] It includes contributions from Gold Panda, The Hood Internet, Dosh, Ceschi, Man Mantis, Skyrider, Cars & Trains, and Loden. [4] Music videos were created for "I Think I'm Emma Goldman" [5] and "Extremophile". [6]
Production
Meant to be a sequel to A Ruthless Criticism of Everything Existing, [7] No Wising Up No Settling Down is the second installment in the Ruthless Criticism of Everything Existing series. [8] It "focuses more on the personal and social/philosophical aspects of the class struggle", abandoning the "overtly political song writing for a more subtle, honest, experimental and poetic approach." [8]
