We do not know where this letter came from as there is no return address and when we reached out to Bumpin Uglies for comment they simply said "Wait, are we being sued?" It is unclear to us whether or not the cease and desist from Kanye West to Bumpin Uglies is real or not. We attempted to Google the name of the attorney in the signature but all we got was that the name Blague Detendre is French for 'Joke Relax.'

The Annapolis, MD reggae rock trio will self-release their new EP 'Better. Faster. Stronger.' on May 13. Pre-orders will launch on April 29. The EP was tracked, mixed, and mastered by Ryan Cullen at Annapolis Audio Lab and will serve to tide fans over until the band's next full-length, which should be released later this year.

The lead track "White Boy Reggae" is streaming on The Pier, which earlier this year cited the band's upcoming LP as one of their 'Most Anticipated' of 2016, alongside 311, Pepper, Ballyhoo!, Stephen Marley and others.

Bumpin Uglies will hit the road this summer to promote the EP. Dates kick off May 17th in Indianapolis and run through August 12.
