RE-RELEASE! The Chris Riser Extended Play album. Seven tracks. To borrow from Yasiin Bey, Riser exhibits "a wide range / all from the same voice" on this project, deploying rhyme patterns at turns complex and simplified, and covering issues from the personal to the structural.

Throughout, Riser pays tribute to the past, embraces the best of the moments that lead us into the future, and offers his own critiques of capitalism which seems to distort and exploit everything, including hip hop culture.

Listeners will also hear both explicit and subtle recurring references to his faith in Christianity, but always with an edge or a critique. "Isaiah 58" is a straight up rewriting of that chapter into a rhyming verse from Riser's own interpretation of the text. "Men A Zion" reveals the typical guilt of fervent religiosity and belief in an all-knowing god, but expressed in radically new terms (referring to the painting of the Last Supper, "I spit in your pimp glass and passed in Da Vinci's last scene / I hope where I'm last seen ain't with Judas, is it?").

This EP was originally released in 2009. Riser decided he wanted to control the whole process, from music production and recording to the packaging of the physical CD. Once the tracks were done, he found a local print shop that made blank origami-like cardboard CD cases, called Arigato Paks. He then photoshopped a selfie into a stencil design, printed the image, cut the stencil, and spray painted 100 packages with the stencil. He also printed and labeled designs on the CDs, and printed and hand cut an insert with the track list and Thank You section. They are hand numbered and signed with the CR initials on the spine #/100.

Riser hustled them hand-to-hand, and donated two copies to the library at Portland Community College Sylvania Campus. Graham Barey profiled Riser and reviewed the EP for the Portland Mercury back in 2009.
