UPDATE 11/29/11: ALBUMS AVAILABLE NOW
Hey folks.
Most of you know me as that one crazy & obsessed Berserk collector that has no life outside from his precious little Berserk statues and kits!!! Well, that's a pretty accurate description actually! =P But, there IS something else that I have an immense passion for: music. I've been writing and producing music since I was a pubescent kid. Over the years, I've put out a number of CDs, but it wasn't til 2011, when my friend and I (we are known as Magnetic North) collaborated with fellow New Yorker, Taiyo Na, signed to a major hip hop label in Japan! Crazy sheeeeyittt!
Well, after working on this album for several years, we are releasing "Home:Word" in Japan and domestically this November. The Japanese album will be in stores nationwide on the 23rd, but for those that live in Japan, you can already purchase the album on iTunes!
So far, in just under 1 week of being released on iTunes, our album has already hit number 3 on the iTunes hip hop charts!!! Pretty surreal. Additionally, several months ago (back in April), one of our singles hit number 2 for a week on the iTunes hip hop charts as well. I don't know what the future has in store, but my bandmates and I can only hope for the best. It would be an absolute DREAM to tour in Japan. Like honest to God Hand, A DREAM! We are humbled by the support so far!
So, for any SK'ers that live in Japan, if you like what you hear, please spread our music as much as you can. Whether it's through iTunes or Amazon or Tower, please let your friends know!
For all non-Japanese residents, of course, we will be releasing the album here too, on the 29th.
