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:

Update #4: 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
Update #3: We did it!! We reached the goal!!
We did it!!
Well, actually you guys did it.
Seriously I cannot tell you all how grateful I am for your help, and for believing in me. Whatever happens from now on is really all because of you.
So thank you! So much. I'll be sending out some messages about prizes and stay tuned for the videos - they will be coming soon.
Cheers guys,
Jay

Update #2: Over Half-Way There!
So it's been 7 days and as of right now we're 68% funded!! You guys are the s*#*!! Seriously I can't thank all of you enough and am incredibly grateful for all your support.
Please let's keep the momentum going so we can come correct when we drop this tape on 'em!
Cheers guys,
