This album is being made with the intention to make young men and women feel “seen”. There are too many kids who grow up today feeling unseen; feeling like they are not understood. Many of them are intelligent kids, who are afraid to express their true selves in fear of being judged by the masses.

As trite as this may sound, I feel this is a serious epidemic and I think I can help through the gift of music!

I’d like to focus this album on being DOPE with banging beats and catchy songs.  The songs will focus around unique experiences that many of our intelligent youth go through and put in the context of fresh new hip hop.

This will be my second project. I learned a lot from recording my first. One of the main lessons I learned from recording my first album was that “you can have one of the best albums of the year, but if you don’t have the funds to market it, NO ONE KNOWS”.

That’s why I need YOU!

I want this album to have an IMPACT; to truly help people and show others that if you persevere through adversity and keep believing in your heart of hearts, you can make your dreams a reality.

I’ll use the money I raise to create the artwork, fund the pressing up of the physical CDs, and fund the marketing campaign. I’ll hire someone with an expertise in marketing to help develop a plan.

I know that with $11,500 I can get this album where it needs to be and we will truly do something meaningful together! Listen to the first single from Misunderstood! So Far

We’ll sell this CD at events, street corners, concert venues, and wherever need to be in order for this CD to POP and make an IMPACT.

Risks and Challenges
Assuming this project is successfully funded by the end of 2014, you should expect your brand new album at the end of the first quarter, 2015.

Of course things could be held up by any type of production delays from the CD manufacturer. There could be a delay in the mastering and mixing process that delays album release. There could be the delays in the deliverables from collaborators (artists, singers). I don’t see anything of these things happening to a large degree and holding things up but it’s worth a mention. If anything of this nature happens, I’ll keep you updated as to the status of completion.

But like I said, if anything comes up, you’ll be the first to know. Be Apart Of Making This Album Happen!: www.indiegogo.com Please consider donating today to help make this album happen.
