In 2006 Insight the Truncator (Boston) and Damu the Fudgemunk (Washington DC), started recording their debut album under the moniker Y Society. Entitled, Travel at Your Own Pace (TAYOP) the album was frst released in October 2007. In hindsight, the year would be one of the last years where albums were designed for long term digestion, and a handful of releases from the era survived as undisputed classics to the masses. Today, conceptual albums are almost archaic in a genre built upon storytelling and themes. With TAYOP, Insight and Damu put the message in the music. The album title served the two as a roadmap to completion of its 13 songs and in return, the fnished product serves as a navigation aid to the listener maneuvering through life within themselves and absorbing the outside world. From adventures of fscal responsibility and imaginative tales of time travel to deconstructing one's obstructions and beyond, Insight's rhymes confdently steer the listener on whatever path they have chosen for themselves. The goal of the album is to empower. From start to fnish, the array of uplifting lyrics is somewhat like modern day proverbs, but not proverbial. Musically, Damu the Fudgemunk pulls from a deep body of in?uences, that give it its unique identity and charm while paying homage to the foundations of their predecessors. The Legendary Marley Marl cosigned the album as a "refreshing" effort of the times.
