This picture was just taken. Yes, sales my christmas tree is still up, for sale and yes I have Roomba robot vacuum, its my best friend besides my dog.
I’ve been dealing with crazzzy legitimate events lately (I got stranded overnite inBangkok Thailand for one thing) which validate the slightly extended wait for this
Initially the shipping was to begin Jan 16th, but it actually started this week, so for those who pre-ordered a while ago, check your mail, they are on the way! Hope the wait was worth it…
In the meantime while you wait, I have released a couple more samples of the mixes here below so you can see whats in store for your ears…
The new mix Original All Out King hits on all aspects of hip hop, from classic underground to the current flavor of the month, because if you only master one thing, you can’t call yourself an all out king…
This first sample is a nod to one of the best producers of music that is on that next level , Mr. Kanye West…
Original All Out King Kanye Section –
And this final sample is for the new generation of the Hip Hop Nation, because the use of sampling in hip hop is part of the cultures DNA, and even today that hasn’t changed…
Original All Out King New ish Section –
For my procrastinators – because I appreciate the lateness, I will be honoring the PRE-ORDER PRICE of $30 bucks plus shipping UNTIL JAN 30th MONDAY.
