Shit aint to bad, but with single on tv and the good promo, expected more...Hope he stays with Strange Music, hes a good fit there and they release music, wish they sign Eastwood and Y.A and these other dope west acts that need a cd.

The fact that the numbers were expected doesnt make them less terrible. No artist should be pleased with those numbers.

I agree to an extent but every artist has to start somewhere, gotta have that core fan base as a platform... not saying that Jay Rock will blow up like Wiz Khalifa did, but Wiz' indie album only did like 5K first week and then a year later he drops his major debut and goes Gold with Platinum singles

plus Strange Music is in it for the long run, they will push the album to sell at least 20-25K

5,300 is cool if its a independent album & they didnt spend much on promoteing & recording the album

[Lunatic]

Not bad
