Thanks for the free DL, will check it out and let you know what I think.
Thank you for taking the time to check it out I really do appreciate it.

For those that haven't checked it out......... give me a shot. I see the only time people get the time of day on here is for all the wrong reasons (not all the time but often). I'm very humble and am not into all the drama and hype so hopefully some of you can respect that.

And if anyone was wondering........ this album is all me from the beats, recording, mixing and mastering everything besides my ex taking the photo for the cover LOL. Not bragging just letting you know so if you like my work maybe you might want me to do some work for you. Lastly I don't write I just make it up as I go and I have been doin this since last June. Not saying that makes me better or worst than anyone I'm just letting you know because its different.

not feeling it, it doesn't sound big tbh. conceptually i feel your music is weak, it sounds dated. production quality sounds on point tho.

i think it's really coo you shared your music w/the forum tho. you do seem real humble and that's a virtue. keep pushing breh.

@ antilabs thank you for the feedback I agree w/ you. the concepts on the album are limited to women money alcohol and weed. Lol my next album Cadillac music will show growth in regards to concepts. It will have this song I made telling a story bout this girl know going from nerd to ho. Another song talking about my experience trying to come up in the rap game. Another song talking about how we are all the same yet so different. I'm not trying to take away from this album but I like Cadillac music better and i see how I've grown as an artist in such a short period of time. But you know some people may like this one better so who knows. But thank you for the honesty I will definitely keep it in mind as I continue to make music.

@ gemini for sure bro I appreciate it. What's up can I get a copy of the comp?

Since you have given this up for free download...here is some free feedback

Nothing new music wise, very similar to 900 other songs Ive heard from cats on here, I just listened to Zoom Zoom and I like the beat but im not feelin your flow at all, too basic and unoriginal to be real,pretty much the same with all your tracks. it Sounds like too many other grains of sand on the beach of bay area rap music. I agree wit Antilabs...i think your calling is in producing and not rapping, the beats are a lot better than your rapping man, maybe you should dedicate more time and focus on production, you would stand a better chance in my opinion...you do seem like a humble cat therefore Im calling it like I see it.
Your lyrics, while not bad...they just arent good, or original, or anything I/we havent already heard..repetitive themes and subjects...etc.

and there you have it

Dirt e needlez thank you for checking it out. I feel the same way about the majority of music coming out nowadays in regards to the rap not be anything special however a lot of times I feel the same about the production as well. For me if a song doesn't captivated me within the first few seconds I'm like, next. LOL I feel like my next album Cadillac music will be more captivating overall in terms of raps, beats, concepts, originality. I try to knockout a few songs a week and the feedback that's been provided will be implemented immediately. Ive heard people say shit like you just don't got it and there may be some truth to that.............. but I believe that hard work, dedication, and perseverance is king. Michael Jordan wasn't the best just because he "got it" he practiced and practice makes perfect.

In regards to production........ I started making beats after I was already rapping because I always wanted to make my own music and not having to rely on anyone and that has paid off for me. I feel like I will always rap and make beats until I can't (death, arthritis, etc lol). I also plan on releasing a beat cd like indo did in the near future. I'm always down to hook it up w/ production so if anyone wanna get on one of my beats just hit me up [email protected]

Thank you once again for the feedback. Just curious what you guys would rate this album overall on a scale of 1 to 10?

^ see, a lotta well known rappers could learn from this practically unknown dude.

See the way he handles the criticism?....he doesnt call us a bunch of fags and haters for not liking his music and then tell us we dont know good music...he doesnt get upset with possible fans for not liking his album, I respect this dudes humbleness and the way he portrays himself as a person/artist.

This dude seems to be doing it for the love of music....not some coked out paper chase with stupid gimmicks to support his newports, weed,coke and hennessy habit like some of these "rappers"
and even though I dont exactly feel his music, this dude put his heart into it and is real humble...i cant say the same for a LOT of the cats on here.

DEA keep at it and enjoy making your music....you get my respect as an artist who can accept criticism very well.

Some artists don't realize how small they are and I see a lot of artists act like everyone should support them just because they are an artist without realizing they havent earned none of that. Talking shit on here will definitely give you some attention but the wrong kind of attention no matter how great your music is. I have realized that as much as I would love to make a living in the music business, It's very likely that day will never come so anything I earn from my music is a true blessing. The the future is uncertain,the 1 thing I know for certain is that I will never achieve my goals if I never try.


@gemini I'm out of town but I'm assuming you sent me a copy? I listened to the clips online and really liked it. What's up with the movie though? When will it be available?

Yezzir I did. Link is good until the 18th.

As for the documentary it will be going to The San Diego Latino Film Festival http://sdlatinofilm.com/ 2012. I have to wait til Nov. to register. Props to ORO for that heads up.

There are a few more I'm looking into as well. I'm not trying to give it a DVD release and then have it burned and bootlegged just yet. Film festivals and hopefully get picked up by a big name channel to air it.

Once it's given that chance / run, I will then press and release it to DVD and let it go.
