I'm really thinking about putting together a new CD” MKG & FRIENDS - "FREESTYLE U.N.I.T.Y. 2006" (1 or 2 CD SET).... but with new productions and other artist (new artist or popular) producers & Remixers. I'm looking more to promote new and upcoming artist and not looking to make a profit. Why not make this work, take it on the road.. Do promotional shows at large events like 'Ochard Beach" and other outside big events.. Out of NY shows.. I'm talking about all artist on the CD, not only 2 or 3.. it should be an equal thing for everyone. I feel this will be a great showcase for artist to show what they have. This is something I always wanted to do since the early days and I would like to really do it know to show that this is great music just need more attention and really serious support.. Maybe like Speddy knocking on everyone's door (Stations) and doing his WEPAAAAAA, “FREESTYLE U.N.I.T.Y”. is here PAPI..
What do I get out of it.. My love for music. Like I have told many and also my wife and family could back me up on this.. I'm not out for the money or fame. If all my stuff is wack, i could walk away and say, hey I had my 5 minutes of fame and it was the best 5 minutes of my life..LMAO.............)c’mon no dirty minds here) I want to showcase, bring this music we once went crazy for and everywhere you went what did you hear in cars passing by pumping their systems????............Latin Hip Hop/Freestyle.. And years later you still hear it. i just heard Tear Shed today blasting from a jeep.. The song is 16 years old..
We really need to do something to get this U.N.I.T.Y going.. I'm talking about taking this nationwide (laugh, hahah.. did you know that I have received many emails from Germany, France, Greece and other country’s asking why American are not doing Freestyle and i told them it's not the artist, producers or even the small labels that are wanting to market their artist, it the RADIO, CLUB and the fact the unity is not tight like other music}
This was an idea that hit me about 2 hours ago...3:30AM.. I always did (still do) get my ideas late night (graveyard shift)..
Please, I'm really open to comments and suggestions.. Just please, no bashing as I want this to be POSITIVE.. It's more like a promotional CD to showcase talent. If you are an artist, Producer, Engineer, Remixer or keyboard player / guitar player, this is something for you to consider. What do you have to lose, NOTHING.. What good could come from this "Possible hit records, new label, work with producer you thought you would never get to work with and maybe the next superstar)
I not looking to sign any artist to any contracts.. There is not commitment.. If we get a call on a particular artist(S) from a establish label with promotional funding, we will work this out with the artist and label which at that time we will have some type of beneficial relationship with the new venture. Take a chance or sit home and say, “I will be a star on day,” “I will do a little show here and there and my friends will help me spread the work that I could sing”.. You have a better chance hitting the lotto… I’m not trying to diss but just making a point that it will not look for you..
I really encourage ALL (Pro, Semi-Pro and newbies) to take vocal lessons.. If you are serious about music, you have to make an effort (right Tony G).. He know what I mean as he's been there...........I would like to open my mind to many styles of Latin dance music, let it be freestyle, Reggaeton, Salsa, Merengue, Latin pop, Latin ballads.. (that is why I'm thinking of a 2 CD promo)
I'm not trying to copy of American Idol cause i want to do shows with all the artist on the CD and even having them singing together as a group during the end of the show.. We can send to all stations, DJ's and other marketing and promoting groups as a promo (of cause) and sell CD's on the web, shows and get a demand from distributors who are afraid to carry our type of music, so let's create the buzz and then the distributors will start knocking on the doors, "hey my friend, long time no hear".. I've been there and done that.. When you are hot, the respect is off the hook but when you are like a 'Coqui" (don't think I spelled it right but is the frog from PR), people are like "You look familiar" I know many will say.. “Well I tried something like this but it didn’t work”, well, having the right people that have to power to make shit happen will make it happen. I’m sure I will get positive postings from this and either way I will move forward.. Jump on the band wagon or just watch and see what happens on CF when this takes off.
