My new album is almost complete! If you want a signed limited edition physical cd, make a pledge and help support.

Hello, all!

My new album- FOR ADAM, is almost complete. I have been hard at work on it for several months now with my producer, J.J. Brown, and we are in the final stages of mixing and preparing to arrange and master it. I've been blessed to collaborate with some of the most talented musicians in and out of HipHop, both legends and superstars on the rise. Featured guests include- Freddie Foxxx, Gift of Gab, Homeboy Sandman, J.J. Brown, Eternia, Craig G, Wordsworth, Reef the Lost Cauze, Block McCloud, Paul Dateh, DJ Johnny Juice (on the scratches!) and Erin Barra. This is a one of a kind musical experience and if you love positive, passionate, hard-hitting, HIPHOP, you will definitely love this album.

This project is 100% independent and I have funded every aspect of it myself. No labels or corporations influencing the music or art. It's been a labor of love but it sounds great and I cannot wait to share it with you.

Because I am funding this myself I was planning on just releasing the album digitally on iTunes for you to purchase. However I know there are many collectors and supporters who still prefer physical cds and love to have actual packaging. I'm the same way, there is nothing better than actually being able to hold a piece of vinyl or a cd in your hands, open it and put it in your player and zone out to the good vibes.

So my goal is to raise $1,600.00 to press up 1,000 limited edition cds that will only be available through this project. Everyone that pledges $10.00 or more will get a signed copy of the cd and I have a bunch of other great incentives for people who can afford to pledge more. Check them out!

Any cd's left over will be sent to magazines, blogs and radio stations for review. This will help spread the word and keep the movement alive.

Thank you for your time and support. I really appreciate it.
