1010Benja, photo by George Ian Hewitt<\/a><\/p>\n The Kansas City\u2013based artist 1010Benja<\/a> is following his debut studio album, Ten Total<\/a>, with a new EP. The new project is called 3X10, and it\u2019s out October 31 via Tabloid<\/a>. Below, listen to 1010Benja\u2019s new single \u201cYAM<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n According to a press release, 1010Benja recorded his new three-song EP in a friend\u2019s basement in Kansas City, Missouri. \u201cI mean, it\u2019s three\u2026 by 10,\u201d the producer, singer, and songwriter said of the EP in a statement. \u201cCheap and obvious marketing, but the songs are really passionate, and heartfelt. I got here the same way anyone does: I came from a really raw place.\u201d<\/p>\n Discussing \u201cYAM,\u201d he added, \u201c\u2018YAM\u2019 stands for \u2018YOUR ASS, MINE,\u2019 and wouldn\u2019t you know it? Life\u2019s got you; the gods and planets ensnare the weak and vulnerable. You, you are a snare; your love is a prison. The truth hurts\u2014its violence is rich and sweet. When an American leaves their familiar land to travel to tropical places, one bite of a good \u2018YAM\u2019 is worth 1,000 Quarter Pounders.\u201d<\/p>\n Revisit Pitchfork\u2019s \u201cThe 100 Best Songs of 2020<\/a>,\u201d featuring 1010Benja\u2019s \u201cDobby<\/a>\u201d at No. 98.<\/p>\n 3X10 EP<\/strong>:<\/p>\n 01 Chosen Omen Originally Appeared on Pitchfork<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
