Yo Shing02, I'm a big fan of your music, especially your Luv [sic] series. Part 1 is my favorite song amongst all the underground Hip-hop I listen to. Enough with praises tho... Im getting concerned to know if you're coming out with any newer songs. I've been keepin' an eye out every now and then and haven't seen that many newer tracks in the past 2 years or so. When I do find it, it's dope. Im going to assume you won't even read this barely noticeable comment on your page cos you're busy. But it was worth a try to ask, Yo where's some of your newer work? Cos if it's anything like your old tracks, I know I'll want it on my iPod. Peace homie
I don't know if you read your profile comments at all but I just wanted to let you know that I love a lot of your work but its hard to find. Places like limewire only has so much of your stuff. And the stuff that is up there are incomplete or terrible quality. The Apple store only has 3 Versions of Waikyoku and one Itunes live which I have to admit isn't the best of quality.
If I could purchase your music I'd really prefer it but there isn't any safe "reliable" source to go through. So if you could please get a lot of your work up there like the 400 album or songs like 栞 and luv sick I'd be estatic!
