We had the cover designed by Salient Projects. I went by Mike Disko's office today to take a look at the proof. I still haven't had it approved by the guys yet. I like the design, but I'm not sure about the color. I want you guys to give me your opinion. Here it is :
Give me some feedback. We're getting this thing pressed up in the next few days...so you got a deadline on this one.
Project Overview :
We decided to focus on this project as our priority for several reasons :
1. The chemistry between the two in the studio is like no other. They feed off of each others energy while writing and then take it to another level of intensity when recording.
2. The first video we shot for Drizzy was the track "Rap Government" off of his So Potent Vol. 2 mixtape. That video ended up getting handpicked by Common, 50 Cent and Polow the Don as a finalist in Youtube's "On the Rise" rap video contest.
3. They have a very aggressive style that is going to hit the streets HARD ! This is a key element in the hip hop marketing game. When a record gets a stamp of approval from a street level...the burbs aren't far behind.
4. We have an oppurtunity to break multiple artist with one release. JGrubbz has a track on the album as well. It's take some pressure off the artist for their solo projects.
5. It's DAMN good music with the perfect balance of mainstream appeal and underground substance.
Here's the first video we shot for Rap Government :
Qualities not great, but it was a learning experience and it got the word out. I'm taking pre-orders for the EP and shirts. Hit me up with an e-mail with your info/shirt size etc..at marcus.birm@gmail.com . Trust me you want this album when it drops. The shirts are a must have as well. Buy one. Take a pic of yourself wearing it. Get a spot in the RG photo album on myspace and FLIKR.
The myspace page is still under construction, but add them as a friend :
