The Audacity of Dope

I’ve been having so many negative experiences this past week dealing with artists, labels, and promoters, I can’t even begin to express my frustrations with this industry.  Rather than treat everyone like Silky Johnson — “I hope all the bad things in life happen to you and nobody else but you” — I’d like to stay positive and instead recognize all the dedicated SNSS listeners who sent their support and appreciation for what we do.  You guys are awesome and we do this for y’all.  And them, even if they don’t know it.

Enjoy and be sure to peep my favorite song out right now:

A few of you reported that there was some difficulty downloading last week’s show and I apologize for the issues.  Inadvertently, SNSS stumbled into the larger music industry vs. the blogosphere debate, raging far and wide over content and piracy.  Luckily, TAOD, SNSS, J. Moore, and myself are far from new entities in the biz and after some discussions with our friends at a few labels, I think we may have found a few decent solutions.  We’ll test them out as we go, but if you have any problem checking out the show, just hit me up.

Ultimately, the labels, artists, and SNSS all have roughly the same goal, at least in terms of the music we support on the show.  We’re helping spread the word on good music that’s flying under the radar and we’ve yet to come across anyone in the industry that wants us to stop what we’re doing.  Well…other than…The Man…but that guy is always trippin.
