For those that don't know, I arrived back in L.A. this past Friday, August 5th, and I'll be in L.A. until the 28th when I have to go back to Florida for the Fall Semester. So for those who are interested, I have some news:
Due to the fact that "Therapy Sessions", the song I produced for Glasses Malone feat. Game, Kam, and Chevy Jones, is getting major airplay and has turned a lot of heads, I have decided that I need to put out a project ASAP featuring the best songs that I have produced, and making it somewhat of a compilation/album. Most likely, it will be called "R-Ticulation: Vol. 1", and will feature 15-20 of the bests songs that I have produced. Most of these songs haven't been heard before, and there will probably be 8-12 Brand new ones. This project will most likely feature the following artists:
Glasses, Game, Kam, Chevy (all on Therapy sessions)
Murs (Living Legends)
Black Friday (Black Wall Street)
O. Beast
Enock
Quiz
I am in contact with Bishop Lamont, Killa Krock, Dino West (No Limit), and many others, so I might see if I can get them on the project as well. With this, I don't think I am going to get it pressed up, but I might just do it mixtape style, and I will probably put all of the tracks up for free download. This album is all about exposure, so the money is not a factor. I will probably set up R-Tistic.com again, since the only sites I have working right now are www.soundclick.com/rtistic and www.geocities.com/rtistic . When I do it, I'll list the tracks on there, and have a lot more info to go along with it.
If anybody has any questions, suggestions, comments, or anything else, you can let me know in this topic. Thanks for all of the support...I will definitely shout out Dubcc.com's board whenever it's neccessary.

good luck with it.

Do you have the connect? Glasses Malone might, but I've never met any of them.
Also...to everybody, if there is anybody you are in contact with that you think would be hot on my tracks, hook it up. I'd definitely appreciate that. I got contact with a lotta rappers, but definitely not 100% of them.
If anybody wants to hear any of the new tracks I got, PM me with your phone # and I'll surely hit you up.

I was at his grandparents house for a few hours Monday nite (we're blood cousins) and we were talkin a lot. I'll probably talk to him today, and if I remember I'll ask him about that. He gave me the DVD and two of his CDs, and he had some Living Legends Reebok Classics but didn't have my size there. I'll see what's up with him.

good luck, hope shit works out fo ya

Yeah I gotta do it for y'all. So far, it's looking like I might add some names to that list. I gotta decide who I want on what tracks and get them recorded...that's the hardest part about it all. I only have 3 songs that are completed and definitely gonna be on there, so it's gonna basically be an original album with 4-5 songs/beats y'all have already heard.
-
Look 4ward to it man..u know i been feelin your your production fo a minute do your thang !!!!!
-
Yea definitely looking forward to this man, if you want any support from dubcnn...holla! doors open for you man!
-
That sounds good man, good luck with this project. I like the album-title too!
I can get you in touch with DJ Slip of IV Life Records if you're interested. Or you can just holler at him yourself since he posts at the IV Life board...
-
ey r-tistic pm me yo email or number. i know a couple other artist that can spit somethin nice. they aint big or nothin but talent speaks for itself
-
you ever get a chance to holla at Murs?
-
you ever get a chance to holla at Murs?
yea, i heard he's no longer a living legend, or something like that, that he's feuding with some of them...hopefully not, well yea, Murs on a R-tistic track would be off the rictor, hope ur project takes off
-
will you be fucking with the pentagon in this project?
-
Yea I got at Murs, I'm hookin up with him tonite to give him the beat. With him n the Legends, I haven't really asked him about it, but he had a grip of Living Legends Reebok classics, and he didn't say anything bad about em. I don't THINK it's any beef, but he probably just wants to do his solo thing, that's how his brother seems to explain it.
I am gonna have The Pentagon on there, but it'll be a older track.
-
I got Murs 16 last nite, it's gonna be on a song with my young "protege" O. Beast and most likely Chevy Jones on the hook. The progress is goin alright...I have been workin at my job in Culver City the last two weeks so I only get one week off free, so I should get everything done then. I might even do a Roger tribute, but make it sound exactly like a Roger n Zapp beat. I gotta find a talkbox though. Also, I talked to Jay Steez and if he has enough time, I might get a collabo with him. I am still tryin to figure a lotta things out, and still tryin to decide if I really want to make it a free album. I might make it free, but for those who do wanna buy it just to have it, I might press up 100-200 for that and sell em for anything between 5-8.

you could make it free for like 24 hours or for some limited time @ dubcnn or anywhere else i dunno, but if you gonna have exclusives verses and beats it should be available if people wanna buy it too, i know i will ;D. so you can press 100-200 and if shit goes well you can press more later. just my 2 cents.

I was thinkin about somethin like that too. In a way, I don't really care about gettin money, and I know that it's hard to sell music to some people who haven't heard your name before. I feel that at this point, exposure is a lot more important than money is. But at the same time, I feel I could still get some exposure, and make a lil bit of money to where I could invest the profit I make from it and put it right back into the music. If I sold 100 for 5 dollars, I'd probably spend 150-200 getting it pressed up, and that would be $500 right there. Also, I just don't have that "street corner hustle", you know how a lotta dudes in big cities go up to any and everybody tryin to sell their CD, and they all say "it's hot!!!" I just don't have that kinda hustle in me. I can promote on the net and just try to get it out through word of mouth if anything. So I will be tryin to decide what to do with it for the next few days.

shit if you put "Featuring songs by The Game,Kam,Glasses Malone and more"(just an example)on the front that shit will sell especially in LA.
-
im sure shit will sell just because of the names you having there. you can try and get it in stores too but i dunno if you like to do that. btw how much does it costs to get 100 cds pressed up?
-
a feature in dubcnn will sell your shit like hot cake hehe, also you can ask here who would want to buy here in the forum, and go from there so you dont get stuck with alots of cds if you dont sell. also somebody from BWS posted in their forums that game is in the BWS headquarters at this time, so you should go there and try to holla at game maybe you get a 16 from him or an M.O.B. song who knows. just giving ideas hope you dont mind.
-
keep doing your thing r-tistic 8)
-
I could definitely use G. Malone, Kam, and Game as selling points, but they are all on one song that most people in LA have already heard. But then, some people have heard it and don't even know it's on G. Malone's mixtape.
I haven't been to the Base in a while, I used to go almost every day in December but I don't talk to all of the same people from BWS that I used to, and I doubt Game would drop a 16 for my project, especially with where he's at now. It was one song they told me to hold because Game was gonna use it, but I haven't talked to Phat Rat or Game since January so I don't think they are gonna use it.
-
It's comin along, a lot slower than I had hoped for but still pretty good. I am realizin that I might not get the 15+ tracks I wanted, so I am gonna try to get at least a good 10. I guarantee you that there will be no wack appearances on here and no filler tracks. If I had more time to do it, I'm sure it would be a much more complete project with more appearances, but at the same time I just need to have this one drop soon while people have an idea who I am, and I can always have the appearances on my next project or whatever else. And if anybody wants to hear the tracks I got right now, you can still PM me your #, I already hit up a few people who hit me on there.
-
so the comp is going to be 10 tracks only? or 10 new tracks + previously released ones? did you hooked up with j steez this past weekend?
-
Well I was just sayin that I want to have at least 10. Only two of them are on other projects, the rest will be brand new. 1 or maybe 2 of the beats will be shit that some people have heard, but they'll be with new verses n artists on it.
-
ok cool, who is doing artwork?? plz get somebody good to do it ;D
-
Well it depends if I decide to actually package it up as a real album.
-
good luck with it.
-
Damn, sounds like it's gonna be dope as hell. The G-Malone track is tight! Can't wait to hear this full compilation album of yours... Good luck with it!
-
Good luck with it man, Therapy Sessions was a sick track.

This one is pretty much done, but it's no doubt that I will expand from outside of LA for the next one I do. But shit depending on how much I get done and if I even make some new beats when I get back to Florida, I might be able to do somethin with them thru the net.
If I can get this one done by Sept., I will definitely start workin on Part 2, which I'd say could be out anywhere from December to March, but that's just speculation and depends on how much I can come up with this fall.
Being 100% realistic and comparing it to EVERYTHING that's out mainstream wise, I'd say this should come out to be a C or C+ project. It's nearly impossible for somebody with my resources and no major input to produce somethin of B or A level, meaning that it would be competin with major albums that everybody loves. I'm never biased with my own music so I will not go out sayin "THIS IS THE HOTTEST ALBUM OF THE YEAR HANDS DOWN!!!" or anything that's not true. It might not flow like a real album usually does, and mixing wise it probably won't be 100% on every song since I am mixin and masterin it. I just need people to hear the music and the artists on there so they can get an idea of how much power we have goin on in LA right now.
