Acknowledgements & Thanks: Paying Homage to Beatmakers and Cultural Inspiration

A lot of the beats that I used to make the E$ Weaponry LP I got from SoundCloud, and I want to recognize and thank the following parties for their help, work, and inspiration.

I also wanna thank Philip DeFranco for being the BAMF he is. The song "Philip DeFranco" was inspired by an episode of the PDS where he gave a list of words that got you on a government list. I took all those words and put them into his song.

Even in 2026, I am a close follower of Philip DeFranco and the shows he composes and oversees. I honestly didn't mean for the song I made in response to his "The Government is Watching You" episode on PDS (Philip DeFranco Show) to be such a big part of the release. 

I was a real novice at the time this came out. I didn't know anything about contract law or how the entertainment industry or business worked. I just wanted to make music. I can't find a lot of these beat makers anymore, but I kept the names of a handful of them.

Here are the Beat Makers I owe at least a debt of gratitude:

Mouthless
Decz Beats
VIVBeats
Subzone
