The Requiem
ThA-SCRATCH-LIFE
“This is my first “solo” record from early 2019 released on “National DJ day”. It’s all DJ scratches – everything from the beats to the bass lines, and cuts too, put into a story of sorts.”
ROAD 2 SUCCESS
“My 1st official CD released in 2006 with my group “We One”. I did all the beats and cuts, and left the rapping to my guys Six Nine and Romes. I sample My Michelle on the “Eau Cleezy” track, so that itself is worth a listen. Of course, it’s me on production, cuts, and art.”
ROAD 2 SUCCESS – THE WE-MIXES
“The re-visited/remixed version of Road 2 Success using some well known beats.”
WOODEN NICKELS
“As an up and coming DJ in my college town of Eau Claire, WI, my only record store in town at that time was Goodwill. As a hip hop scratch DJ, the only records that were useful to me were old children’s records which had phrases and noises perfect for scratching, so I started building my kids record collection.
In July of 2020 I was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer. I decided I needed to complete a few creative projects while I still could. With this realization I started thinking how I can incorporate all the kids records I’ve accumulated over the years. With this idea spawned a concept album where I tell short stories using kids records and original hip hop beats.
The album itself is the first of its kind. To my knowledge this type of “scratch album” has never been done before. It’s short stories, it’s a kids album but for adults, and most importantly, it’s hip hop.
The funding I am requesting is for the mastering process, the UPC code, the digital distribution, and the printing of 50 CDs in jackets.
The cover art is a watercolor painting created by my 3 year old daughter, that I outlined to create individual characters to tell these stories. I also created videos based on that artwork that will be uploaded to YouTube when the album releases on “National DJ day”, January 20th.”
CRITTER KIDS
This is a kids record I did back in 2008. Again, I do all the beats and cuts. There’s a couple cool tracks on there, but my favorites are “Have Fun” “Spanish Numbers” (DJ track) and “Voice of Reason”.
BLIND CINEMA
“Blind Cinema 2: A dark, eerie concept album perfect for Halloween. Released on a Friday the 13th in October (also the rappers birthday), mastered on a “blue” moon, and has 13 tracks. All those things were by design. I also pressed up flash drives and sold them in orange pill bottles. There’s a video too that we recorded in a basement of one of my buddy’s businesses in Menomonie.
