The songs on Living in the Shadow deal with issues ranging from Global Warming and the flooding of New Orleans to direct action forest-defense campaigns and social justice to the absurdity of mainstream black-face rap music to songs about life, love, and family. The instrumentals range from funk to trip hop to downtempo and hip hop, and include production work by Dub Cee of Working Classic Records (London, UK), Dj Phoney of Phoney Tapes (cologne Germany), Kdubbs of Urban Underground (san Jose California), and Emcee Lynx (San Francisco California).
