Did a quick video edit for our halloween teaser:

I probably put more effort into my music than any of y'all. Producing beats, writing lyrics, practicing lines, paying for studio time, getting feedback from the engineer, mixing and mastering (the biggest pain in the ass of all) asking professionals for advice and proper methods, sending peer review copies to get outside feed back for any release is official, spending time to plan out what songs will be released before the album, creating a cover, saving money for what ever is needed and the only thing I didn't do that I probably should have was pay for promotion. I take it serious enough skip eating for a few days to pay for them hours in the booth or to be up all night tweaking things for just one song so I can get it sounding as perfect as I can get it.

All that I want in return for all that work is good music. I just want my music to be good. And I got some bangers, the rest doesn't suck so I'm happy.

You'd need four snaps for a z formation.

Sounds like the only thing you do extra than any of us is write lyrics (except I wrote plenty of lyrics for cloudcover) and pay for studio time, which isn't actually more effort it's just a poor use of your money

We use a studio and write lyrics. We gig hard to make funds then use the funds for studio time, merch, brand building, etc. I edited the above video myself to match the track. We put a lot of elbow grease in!

I have hundreds, if not a thousand, hours of unique material that I only release...not even one percent of? It's not like I just plop down the recorder every time I jam too (though this is a good technique for when you're first learning an instrument.

Damn, I forgot about the starting point.
I guess I'm too white for sassy urban geometry.

MC Trustan sounds like Daniel Johnston's feces teamed up with Lil B and made a rap album.
