Damn that's a flop imo, anything over 35k wouldve been good. Seeing as Jim Jones did only 43k then it seems right I guess. Don't think he'll be happy though but I'm glad it finally dropped!!!Fuck thats a massive flop, I was hoping he would push atleast 50k, 2 big singles, and the first new NYC artsit to drop in a long time. Damn, noone else has a chanceThe album was pushed back a couple of times. Should have dropped last year when Hi Hata was getting some burn. Exactley!

Exactley!Well dropping it back then woulda kinda been premature. I dont think many people wouldve bought the album sololy based on that one song, he wasnt established enough back then. Now that hes gotten more exposure with more singles, vids, the interviews and all of that stuff people know more about him and what hes about. Now i think was a good time to drop it, shoulda came out a lil earlier when "All The Above" was blazin then it wouldve been perfect!!!
I disagree. I think if you drop your album just after the peak of your single, it will do well. I think for a new artist, the time when I am most amped up to buy their shit is right after they drop a hot ass joint (most likely your single). Drop a mixtape for buzz and get the underground goin.Drop your video/single.DON'T drop anything else except for new singles (Keep the fans fiending for that exclusive music that's gonna be on ur album)Do your promotion/marketing in the time between you single and your album. Then DROP THE ALBUM.It's a perfect timespan, but when these labels/artists start fucking around with delays you fuck the timeline up and it's unrecoverable from there.. You don't need to release "buzz music" if your timeline is set so the fans never lose their buzz for you! You really got make sure your label believes in you and is dedicated to your schedule. You should have your album complete with the singles before the first joint leaks. They say you can't control what the fans are gonna eat up, and that you gotta have a strong single to recoup the money? Wrong, major labels can make any song work if they think it's a hit, it's just all about the timing.

He's a South artist, which gives him an edge (He is right?) And he's on DefJam (I think?) which has a better marketing/promotion machine for Urban artists than Atlantic. Still I never knew that guy's album was coming out cept for when I saw it on blogs. I'm really interested to know if his sales were mostly region-based, or an even distribution through-out the country...Comparision: Cam did 42K, Kiss did 142K.I really expect Fab to do something above 200K.
