Well... Always something interesting.
Been brainstorming about new and community involved ways to bring the music closer to you .. me closer to you. I think for an artist like myself it works best this way.
This is what's going on for the next week..

Please stay tuned for "The Bridges Are Not Over" Tour in NYC
and
"Make This Album" a tentative online album title.

I don't wanna complain anymore, I just wanna change some things about the way artists are treated and the way you guys are allowed to be involved, since it IS the digital age.

Thank you for all sticking around in lieu of my angst and stuff. That's real cool of y'all.

here's the link...

Let's "get er done!"
Viva La Nueva York.. and Hip Hop.

P.S.
We'll talk more about "Orchestral Files" and "Evil Jeanius" perhaps tomorrow. I'll hip ya.



Craiglist Post:

Your Neighborhood Friendly Superhero, Jean Grae.
So, the economy sucks.... I apparently have another unauthorized album for sale dropping Sept 30th and I figure, if everyones gonna make money offa me, why not make it directly and directly to the people who really love this shit anyway.Out the hands of big business, straight to you. So.. you got beats?? cd's?? envelopes?? yousendit?? protools?
Whatever you got I'll try and find a way to work with it.

I work fast, so you'll have em fast.
16's for $800 (cause 8's half of 16..ooh math! math yo!) and yeah..we can negotiate.
Maybe you want a hook.. or 8 bars. or an into.. or outro.. whatever.
Figured we'd take advantage of our online community, since some of us may not get the chance to meet in person.
Kinda stick it to the man too. Who doesn't like that?
You send it to me.. You know you gotta pay me first.. lol ... Trust me, if I don't do it you can find me, right? And talk crappity crap about me, cause it's the internet.. I like the honor system and was raised on it.


Sooo... lets have some fun with it.. for ONCE in a long time.
Once you got it, you got it. Not looking for any extra publishing or anything..
Like Half Baked, "Go! Sell Weed!"

Just decided to do this today, so we can do deposits or western union.
I like working with people who love doing this and dont get enough shine.. plus, I like money just coming to me.
I'll put different songs up on my myspace everyday and change you guys to my top friends.
I'm sure I'll find some producers/emcees I didn't even know about and that would be awesome.

ok go!
EMAIL THE ADDRESS AND LETS GET GOING.

THIS IS REAL, IT'S ME.. I'M BLOGGING ABOUT IT NOW ON MY MYSPACE.
LOVE YA, HOPE TO HEAR FROM Y'ALL SOON.
LET'S KEEP THIS SHIT FUN AND CREATIVE AND TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE DIGITAL AGE.

Great idea... however, credit crunch! At $50 dollars a bar I might just have to put your voice in the beat sampler and be on some repetitive trance shit.

Accurate 1

 
Finally someone with the balls or something like it willing to stick it to the industry vampires in the name of original artistry. Much respect and best believe a brotha is scrapin' and scroungin' to put my bid. I can't think of no other MC that's doing this right now...
