Stories Since Seventy Nine (abbreviated Stories Since 79 or Ss79) is a Canadian-exclusive EP by the Christian rapper Manafest.[1] It was released independently on September 5, 2012.[2][3][4] The EP is technically a side project release and not a regular piece of Manafest's work.[1][5]

The name of the EP is a reference to Greenwood's birth year of 1979.

In 2015, the EP was globally released via Manafest's official store for physical and digital purchase, and is no longer exclusive to Canada.[6][7]

In July 2013, the track "Overboard" became the first single to be released off the EP.[8][9]

  • The track "California" speaks about Chris Greenwood's move from Toronto to Los Angeles in 2012.[11]
