Empat belas
As you may know, i'm part of a local hip-hop group called Micbandits and last year we released an album called Rhythm n' Poetry (RnP), a 17 track album all independently produced by us. We sold copies, gave some away, some even got stolen and disappeared, but the important thing was to get it out there. It met a lot of responses from all around the world and we took and appreciated all criticism.
Right now we're working on another album and although it sounds simple enough, it isn't. It's a project; and like all good projects, there's always a great deal of planning, research and designing involved. We set realistic goals and we hope to achieve them, but in order for that to happen we need all the support we can get. Understand that the reason we spend more of our time away from home isn't because we want to, but its because we have to.
The albums we make are like the novels authors produce and its quality only depends on the amount of effort they put into it. We're trying to find people who can help us out so that we can reach the level of quality we've always longed for. But alas, some won't even blink an eye towards you because you don't have the means and more importantly the money to capture their attention. And time and time again, we find ourselves making music on our own wondering if anyone really gives a damn.
Why go through all this trouble?
I dunno, you tell me.
