We've launched an exciting new project of our own! Introducing the Kickstarter app for iPhone!

Funded! This project successfully raised its funding goal on January 9.

Just a few hours left to be part of music history! Here's an unreleased segment from our interview with Lester that will get you fired up!

Update #7 · Jan 9, 2013 · 5 comments

We've done it!

And the excitement keeps building for Lester's first album he'll actually own -- entirely.

I'm so excited. I've been gushing about this story to everyone who'll listen.

Well, as if Lester's story wasn't motivational enough, our director, Lerone Wilson, stitched together footage from our interview that didn't make it into the trailer, but illustrates just how bad things got.

I cannot thank Lester enough for taking my call all those months ago and I cannot thank all of you enough for bringing this to fruition!

As the final hours wind down, please keep spreading the word, because Lester's time has finally come!

-Alexis and team breadpig

      Thank you for your story Lester - I hope that more and more folks hear it so that more and more can be aware of it. Maybe it will keep others from going through what you've gone through. Hang in there, you've got a great friend in Alexis!

      The racism is blatant and the robbery is unconscionable. Bless you, Lester, for keeping on, Alexis for taking on, and Dylan for hanging on. Everybody breathe! I cannot wait for the new music!

      Amazing story, and amazingly sad at the same time. This needs to hit YouTube ASAP.
