"In the past few years, I've been inspired each time I see a new fundraiser project on Bandcamp–I've seen albums of various genres used to generate donations to the ACLU, Planned Parenthood, Yellowhammer Fund, Bethesda Project, and many more. As I find myself moving towards writing music without samples, I wanted to do one last sample-heavy Hip-Hop "beat tape," where the sample sources used on each track directly related to a cause the project would fundraise for. I landed on doing [a] project where each track samples from albums recorded "Live In Prison;" Johnny Cash famously recorded At Folsom Prison in 1968, but dozens of artists recorded live albums this way in the 1960-80's.
Criminal justice reforms in this country are something I feel strongly about–and among other things, I believe that no one should stay locked up, simply because they can't afford bail money. This is why I've chosen to make a donation upfront with the release of this project to the Philadelphia Community Bail Fund and hope to use the project to raise more money to donate (100% will go to the Bail Fund) or raise awareness, so that people will donate directly. The project features remixes from producers AJ RICE & LONECREW with guest vocals from The Hell Hole Store. I'll be playing a few tracks from it as part of an hour-long instrumental Hip-Hop/Electronic mix I'm putting together as a part of WKDU's annual Electronic Music Marathon 2019 on October 14th at 9:00am. End Cash Bail & End Mass Incarceration!"
