In this episode East Forest tells the story of how his eponymous song, "10 Laws" came to be. "10 Laws" features the voice of VCJ, a mystic and friend who spoke his hunter gatherers code of ten which became the sample for "10 Laws" - the first East Forest song and most popular East Forest track to date.
From VCJ,
"I have not paid much attention to the praise or criticism by the public, about my work over the years, but I am very grateful to the nation which has granted me such freedom of expression and I feel indebted to those who have seen to the matter of securing the right for its citizens, have encouraged it and exampled it in so many beautiful ways. Art is a game worth playing and its effects should be shared. An artists works are not always published, but when they are, they give inspiration to so many who might not otherwise see the originals. I am one such person. I am glad to have enjoyed the works of the masters in their published forms and I feel that I must share some of my work in pen, brush, woodcut and scratchboard at this time. I am not expecting to publish a book of my work any time soon, so I apologize and offer it in this form.”
