However, so much more than just new music, this album is our greatest dedication to the late legend, new father and cherished brother, Adam Ramey. Not just entertainment, but a testimony to the ambition, struggle, pain and indomitable will that has made the Dropout Kings who they are. Not only a journey into the hearts and souls of the band during a time of their greatest loss as well as the experience of Trap Metal\u2019s evolution, but the soundtrack to the realization of dreams and the defeat of nightmares across the world. We ask that you listen, enjoy and join us in the mission of not just uplifting and remembering the spirit of one of the best men we\u2019ll ever know, but in creating a better world so that those like you, him and us can LIVE better and with brighter futures ahead.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Yokai\u00a0<\/em>track listing:<\/strong><br \/>1.
