Weapon Aid is an unexpected collection of songs that Braille wrote and recorded during the summer of 2009. Production is primarily handled by BigJess of Unknown Prophets (MN) and also has tracks from Xperiment, DJ Cassidy and Kid Hum (all CO residents). The only guest vocals are from Nikki “Tonya Bobanya” – Braille’s wife of 7 years. Weapon Aid will drop sometime in late November, self released by Braille on his Hiphop IS Music imprint. This record is not to be confused with the Audibly Enhanced Dreams album that Braille has been preparing for Syntax Records (scheduled for a 2010).
