In September of 2008, Focus... & Fokis released an EP called 20/20. It was a classic project that left the listeners craving for more from the duo. 5 years later they have decided to release a retail version of the project as an official LP with some new songs. "Focus... & I have been working on a new project that we are looking to release later this year. We had some extra songs laying around that are not going on the new project so I said, lets package them up with the 20/20 EP, make it a Full Album and release for retail. He thought it was a good idea so we went with it. I love working with my brother Focus... He and I have a great chemistry when it comes to creating music but we are also great friends who get together with our families over dinner and hangout as well". - Fokis

Fokis' Bi Coastal crew Local-Mu12 drops 1st official single 'UNHAPPY' and preps for releases of Debut Album. Produced by The 17th, UNHAPPY is a fun and entertaining song that everyone at some point in their life would relate to. It deals with the day to day frustrations and struggles that come along with living but does it in a fun way.
The song features Local-mu12 members The 17th, Fokis & Broadway Barrett. "I park in handicap spots when theirs only one left, my team lost and I F*&#ing hate the jets. I went to the gym all week and benched pressed for like 10 sets but I still got a little chest" spits The 17th in the opening verse so you get the idea of what to expect.

New track from Local-Mu12 member The 17th entitled "Rubbish,” produced by Vanderslice and featuring Spoke In Wordz from Denver, CO and Fokis. “The 17th is an artist from New London Connecticut, and he and I actually have an entire album sitting in the stash that is crazy. Here is the first single from his upcoming EP, Free Music, which will be dropping in late August. The 17th is vicious on the mic and his word play is something else" Says Fokis.
