According to Beatroute, Dumbfoundead’s philosophy on music, rap battles, and life in general can be summed up in the quote, “too often we fool ourselves into caring about [something] we shouldn’t, and into battling everyone and everything when the battle is inside of us—when all we want to do is just eat some [food] and make some music.”
