A Little Help?

If you have been to one of my concerts you have probably witnessed either someone from Seismic Leveler, one of our guest MC's or myself throwing thousands of dollars worth of CD's into the crowd for free and most likely you had gotten into that show for free. I would rather spread the music around that we make than try to hustle a dollar to sell it. We live in an age where a critical mass makes the difference between being silent and being heard and more interesting is how often we have the chance to be a part of that critical mass.

We live in a fluid and ever changing society where we have come to expect everything and become suprised by nothing. The internet gives us instant information and entertainment and has opened the world up to even the most basic bedroom producer. If this is the case, why are some more successful than others? How many times have you come across someones webpage and been like "Damn... these guys are sick... how come their not huge??". It happens to me daily and its mostly because musicians like to create and not promote... but successful ones do both and empower others to help.

What I am getting at is if you have received one of my CD's at a show, or if you have streamed my entire album on this page for free, or if you just simply feel inclined to help, I ask that you pay me the honor of sharing my music with your friends. Burn copies of the CD, rip MP3's or whatever. The easiest and best way to help is to spread word of mouth on social media or going to my album "En Los Campos" on itunes and write a review. It would mean the world.
