""I mean, it's three... by 10," the producer, singer, and songwriter said of the EP in a statement. "Cheap 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.""
""'YAM' stands for 'YOUR ASS, MINE,' and wouldn't you know it? Life's got you; the gods and planets ensnare the weak and vulnerable. You, you are a snare; your love is a prison. The truth hurts-its violence is rich and sweet. When an American leaves their familiar land to travel to tropical places, one bite of a good 'YAM' is worth 1,000 Quarter Pounders.""
1010Benja recorded a three-song EP titled 3X10 in a friend's basement in Kansas City, Missouri. The EP is scheduled for release October 31 via Tabloid. The project emphasizes three concise tracks with an intentionally simple marketing concept while prioritizing passionate, heartfelt songwriting that emerged from a raw place. The lead single "YAM" uses provocative language and metaphors to frame desire, emotional entrapment, and cultural contrasts, with 'YAM' defined as 'YOUR ASS, MINE.' The EP's tracks are Chosen Omen, Lightrope, and YAM, and a previous song, "Dobby," reached No. 98 on Pitchfork's 2020 list.
