    First Music Video: "That's What She Said"

    Hello My Fellow Kickstarters,

    Hope everyone is doing well.  By now you should have gotten your prizes - be it a cd or tee shirt (If you haven't received your prize yet definitely hit me up and I'll make sure to get it to you ASAP!).  I'm writing you because we finished the first music video which I wanted to share:

    Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8LL2WHqRigo

    It's for the song "That's What She Said" and was directed by Danny Rasa (11dimensionmedia.com) and produced by Lauren Rayner (laurenrayner.com).

    Lemme know what you think!

    More videos coming soon.

    Cheers,

    Prizes Info

    Hey all,

    Just wanted to let you know that I have not fled the country as yet.  I've been waiting for Kickstarter and Amazon to process everything on the project so I can start sending out prizes.  

    This has been taking much longer than I expected so on Monday (3/12) I'm going to start sending out digital mixtapes to everyone, and will hopefully get the rest of the prizes out by the end of this month. 

    Sorry for the delay, but thanks for hanging in with me and for your continued support! 

    Cheers,

    Jay
