I just wanted to repost something that Awk posted when I released “Ink Blot”. Not because of what he say’s about me (but it helps), but because of what he say’s about music in general and the lack of support from so called “fans”. This is speaking specifically about hiphop, but it can be related to any genre really.
Fallen has released his new album InkBlot, and having listened to it extensively i can tell you it is fucking SICK. There’s not a lot of good music out there these days, most of us make do with either old album’s on cycles or kidding ourselves that some of the shit we hear on our radio’s is actually listenable.
We live in a world where the music industry is more about knocking off quick albums from saleable artists than putting in time and effort and creating something to be PROUD of, you get a terrible quality CD, horrible production value and fucking TERRIBLE artists hawking what little he/she/they have.
It is with genuine excitement then that i explain how important artists with hunger, ambition, and most of all TALENT are to us. The music industry HATES the internet, because such artists are given a platform to express their prowess, and sometimes completely over run the machine.
You are free to do what you please, go and spend your money on whatever you want, but when someone of absolute quality offers you a piece of that quality for free, snatch his arm off. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain.
We have the ability to take power back from the profiteering fucks who command vast armies of DJ’s, VJ’s, Artists and Marketers to squeeze every penny they can from you.
Download InkBlot for FREE @ FallenHipHop.com and recognise what HipHop was, and could still become about. Great music, a great message, by people just like you.

Well? What do you have to say for yourselves?
