This is basically what the deal on NME wreckidz is... We are trying to change the way people think of underground rap. It doesnt have to be poor quality or low grade over all performances. It doesn't have to be a copy of whatever is on the radio right now. It doesnt have to sound like its strictly one genre or style of rap.
It CAN be original. It can be intriguing and relatable without being cliche or preachy. It can be accessible to anyone through our free download section online, or cheap from a mom or pops store and our online joint. It can be the highest quality possible from real equipment and knowledge, as well as content wise. It can be no filler.
The only thing standing in between us and inevitable worldwide recognition is the fact that we chose to stay under the radar and not play the games of the industry. We go by our own rules, and apologize for nothing. Our music speaks for itself, and we are not rookies having been involved with hiphop on all levels, including many shows up and down the east coast, 47 full length (solo and group) CD releases, which we have had moderate success with sales over 35 ,000 combined just selling ourselves and through a few small distributors; Please listen to some of our material, I know that you will immediately hear the quality.... we have done several national projects here are a few:
*7 songs including the beginning and ending credits on the multi-platinum smash "Ghetto Fights" DVDs as well as the recently released "Ghetto Fights 2 & 3"
*3 songs on a movie soundtrack, Kingston High, released on Artisan DVD and
