Background info.
Originally, C Royal was offering spots on his "Royal Tavern's" album for emcees to be a part of on the Justus League (9th Wonder, Little Brother, etc.) message board. Ardamus contacted C Royal and they completed 4 cuts on the project alongside Mallz, Chaundon, Society Of Gentlemen, and other counterparts on the album. Ardamus, in the meantime, was involved with his projects with his crew FAR EXP and other solo projects that he was completing. C Royal contacted Ardamus for an idea for a project and Ardamus agreed without hesitation.
The Album/Singles.
After back and forth emails and phone calls to establish a constant theme for the album, "The Glass Is Half Full Of" seem to fit because of the contrast of the hard and smooth production of C Royal and the content of what Ardamus was delivering. In addition, Ardamus informed his peers of C Royal's production and he got the nod from the crews and affiliations Ardamus has in Washington, DC. In addition, Cee H. Blak aka Blak Lungz who used to be in the Food Chain Collective contacted him because of the development for Shotgun Daisy Records. Just recently, the label had dropped an EP that was featuring his work with Joe Beats (the producer of Non-Prophets with Sage Francis and other great instrumental works). After a video was completed for one of the first songs entitled "Indeed Loyalty", Blak was sent the video and this lead to a three-single deal for the duo to have digital distribution through various outlets.

I guess I took that the wrong way. Would be a funny title though.
