New Appetite Mixtape(Press Release)

APPETITE Change Of Plans Mix-tape
Press Release
 
Thursday, June 16, 2005
Anaheim, CA--With a never-ending sea of self-proclaimed 'rappers' and 'MC's' all flooding the market with self-produced mixtapes and home-recordings, it's harder than ever for a new lyricist to emerge from the flocks of wannabee's and posers.  However, with 2 CD's nearing their release, Appetite is on the brink of sprinting past the everyday rhyme slinger, and unveiling a style of music and attitude deemed as uncommon in today's cliche'd hiphop music world.
 
The first of App's offerings is the Change Of Plans Mix-tape, which is hosted by FOCUS(Aftermath Ent./a. Fam Records) who also was quick to notice the distinction Appetite brings to the table.  When asked as to why he hopped onboard to host the mixtape, Focus replied: "I got on  it because Appetite brings difference to the otherwise "bland" world of hip hop... I dig anything different. I support innovators."  Focus, who produced 2 track's on the Change Of Plans Mix-tape, is quickly becoming one of the most sought-after producers(he is in Dr. Dre's camp for good reasons, the man is a world of talent!) after having recently produced "Where I'm From" off The Game's multi-platinum debut; contributing "Don't Think So"(Kam) and "Watch Closer"(among a few others) to Sway & Tech's Back 2 Basics album, as well as working on a slew of other yet-to-be-released projects.
 
Appetite's Change Of Plans Mix-tape features 18 track's of Appetite's top-of-the-line lyricism, and showcases a cut-throat attitude and really captures App's frustration and hope.  When asked to comment on the mixtape, Appetite stated the following: "I didn't approach the verses for the mixtape lightly.  Sure it's a mixtape, but my name's going on there, so why sell myself short just because it's a "mixtape"? and further adding: "During the process of recording the mixtape, I was going through a lot of personal things, so you can hear the frustration on the track's.  There's a lot of industry bashing, simply because I'm not "in" the industry, and I haven't really liked what I've encountered amongst the industry.  These dudes think they're on some kind of imaginary pedestal, and me, I'm thinking "who the fuck are you?"  Sure, you're in the industry and I respect that, but don't think I think you're on a higher plateau because of it."  However, App's music biz skepticism turned reluctant when he crossed paths with Focus.  "Then I met Focus, through a friend.  I played my music for Foc, and I saw the reaction on his face, and it looked like he genuinely dug what I was doing.  So I asked him if he'd host the mixtape, and he came through for me, and for that I'm beyond thankful.  He treated me as a counterpart, and not as if I wasn't on his level, so for him getting down with me like that, I feel indebted to him, 'cause he did it on the strength of my music!" Appetite says.
 
Though the mixtape is simply a vehicle to implement App's capability to bring some rugged rhyming to the table, he also has 2 track's featured which both appear on his debut, I Got Can'd Today EP, which will be released alongside the mixtape.  Both projects will be handled by Appetite and his producer/partner, WhatsHisName's imprint, F.M.C. Media, and will be exclusively available on their website: www.fmcmedia.com and other exclusive retail outlets.
