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.
The release features the single "Overboard."[6][7]
In 2015, the EP was globally released via Manafest's official store for physical and digital purchase, and is no longer exclusive to Canada.[8][9]

Notes
- The EP is also known as Manafest Presents Stories Since Seventy Nine.[2]
- Most of the songs on the release were leftover softer pop tracks from Manafest's 2012 album Fighter.[5]
- The track "California" speaks about Chris Greenwood's move from Toronto to Los Angeles in 2012.[11]
- Though the EP itself was exclusive to Canada for a long length of time, the opening track, "Overboard", was released as a single globally on iTunes in July 2013.[7]
- Manafest himself stated the EP was not supposed to originally be exclusive to Canada, but due to legal issues regarding the record it was halted from a release in the United States.[12]
