Theres nothing to it but to do it, right? A lot of you may or may not know this, but I've decided to take a short break from LIVE SHOWS, in order to focus directly on making NEW MUSIC! I recently played my final show this past weekend in Scranton PA @ Bobstock (2/7) with homies Unstable Minds, and made one last special guest appearance on my homie T.O.N.E-Z's set (2/8), to do one of my newer tracks "Get F'd Up With Us" which is currenly on my page, and is the 1st official single for my upcoming album - "New Flava". If you have not heard the track yet, please take a listen @ www.myspace.com/drangd. Fan feedback and support is what keeps me alive, so don't be too shy to drop a comment and let me know what you think of the new music!
A lot of people have asked me if this is the end...and the answer is NO. This is NO WHERE NEAR the end!!! I simply just wanna "get my head screwed back on" sorta speak. Constantly doing shows takes tons of focus away from creating new music, and this short break will be perfect for me, letting me focus more on D-RaNGD and which direction I should turn next. I will still be appearing on the Monthly Madness CD's, every month @ www.sidestreamrecords.com or www.myspace.com/sidestreamrecords. I will also be appearing on NUMEROUS upcoming collabos, including spots on New CD Releases from R.E.G., H8TRiD, The Pumpkin King, MC Kind, Evil Wayz, Liggett The Demon, Half Dead, & a more. So keep an eye out for all them collabos + more. I will also be doing a few ONLINE RADIO INTERVIEWS, sometime during my break. During these interviews, I will drop plenty of updates, talk about the status of my new release(s), and possibly even leak some NEW FLAVA! Just keep checkin my calendar @ www.myspace.com/drangd for all upcoming interviews.
Besides all that, i don't wanna leak too much info on ya'll just yet, being its WAAAAAAAY to early. Just know that I'm back in the studio. I have numerous upcoming projects which I intend to release THIS YEAR. Here's whats to come -
