A new beginning..

Good Morning World.Today is a good day. The weather is nice,and there's good music to listen to. It's safe to say that "Fear of God" is my favorite shit right now, it's on constant rotation. Last time we spoke, I was informing you on Alchemist, and Prodgiy's free digital Ep's. Both DOPE! This time around, I'm excited about, yet another FREE digital EP of 13 songs , which to me is an album but whatever. It comes for N.O.R.E, who is my shit! He ain't the sharpest lyricist on Earth but he makes songs, and that's what counts in my book. It was released on Easter and Noreaga being him, named it N.O.R.Easter, Hahaha. You can get it here: http://nahright.com/news/2011/04/23/n-o-r-e-n-o-r-easter-mixtape/ Here's a video for it too. Nore Shot Somebody. I'm not sure how I feel about all this free music established artists are putting out. It's good to the consumer, but me personally wouldn't mind paying for it. It's seems lke people are giving up on the "make money off your record" idea. I really don't agree that is the way to think but then again, I totally understand being an "underground" artist myself. We have never made a dime off of our records BUT we HAVE had advances , and had that feeling of Labels, and making money. Of course, it was obviously the label but we stll have our fans and hit the road, and get paid to perform and have the opportunty to sell merchandise online and at shows. I get putting out mixtapes to promote the album but I also think your money spent on a mixtape can be used to promote the album you are selling. Nowadays people get that freebee and they're good with just that. With so much competition, I think your window is open for a minute, and you should take full advantage of what you can make money on. So it's a catch 22. The game is crazy, and I really feel bad for these newcomers who unfortunately will have to accept this music shit as a hobby. It's the harsh reality of it unless you're connected which still most likely means nothing. So, as the music game takes a new beginning and makes this harder for people like me, I am willing to take the challenge. I will be on the road after My Brother's Keeper drops on August 23rd, and will be selling everything I can. I just wish the supporters wouldn't get sucked into this new beginning when it comes to buying cd's and loving the cd packaging and keeping that part of music alive. Accept the free music as a thank you for purchasing the ones we are selling. That is all for today and I hope you can help me spread the word on this blog and enjoy the new NORE.
