HipHopCanada: I agree. Let’s talk a little about the album you released in 2006 “Music Money.” You have Posta Boy, JR Writer, and Royce Da 59 featured on it. What did you want to achieve with this album and how was it received overall?
I wanted Recognition and the respect to say that I can put together an album on my own, and make it on my own without the support of a label. I just wanted to show that you don’t have to be signed to a label to release one, and that you can be creative and pick your own release dates. You don’t have to press 100 000 copies. You can press 100 to start off, and you can keep going as you sell more.
HipHopCanada: How was the response?
It was great, maybe even better than I had expected.
HipHopCanada: How many units have you sold so far?
We’re touching the 8 000 mark. It’s not great or major but we’re doing it independently at $7.00 a pop.
HipHopCanada: Are you going to drop anymore singles from this album or you’re going to wait until you get out and get to the studio to put something fresh together?
I’m still going to promote the album for the sake of the sales, but I have new material that I’m going to release. Everything we’re going to be releasing is going to be brand new, never heard.
HipHopCanada: Considering the internet is taking over and more and more labels are putting their focus on their online promotion, what type of approach do you want to take with your music? Will you still be dropping mixtapes, physical albums? Digital downloads?
I’m gonna be big on the computer this time around. Last time we didn’t focus on the internet a lot, but this time will be different. Right now we’ve got a free mixtape for download on one of our websites.
HipHopCanada: Tell me about 20 B-Lo and Donmillion Entertainment. What are they working on?
20 B-Lo has a project coming out really soon. It got a bit delayed but they’ll definitely be coming out. They have a song featuring Snow and a video which should be coming out very soon. It’s the same camp, same family so check out for that. As far as Donmillion Entertainment goes, that’s the project that we’re working on as well as mine and we’re also thinking of putting these two kids on; they can rap, sing and dance and they’re very talented kids. We’re seeing how good they perform right now and then we’re going to take it from there.
