14 tracks signed to library from Road Rally Mentor Lunch.

Post by ochaim » Sat May 31, 2014 11:48 pm

Just wanted to share this little update.

From handing a CD to a library owner during last year's Mentor Lunch, I've signed a total of 14 tracks to them. 5 that were on the CD, and 9 additional tracks over the past 5-6 months.

I've compiled the 9 into a soundcloud playlist you can check out here: https://soundcloud.com/owenchaim/sets/o ... now-school

It ranges from early 80's to 90's rap, to a few that are a bit more contemporary. Some more commercial, and others from a more "authentic" place. Coming from a very indie/underground hip hop background, I never thought I'd do songs like this, and really enjoy doing it.

Although I'm far removed from the hip hop scene in toronto now, it still feels a little uncomfortable putting it out there when there's a good chance that some of my old rap acquaintances may hear it and wonder what the hell I'm doing now. I'm gradually coming to terms with it now, though.

Owen, this is awesome, man! I haven't listened to all of these tracks yet, but what I heard was totally top-notch stuff. Your old rap buddies can say whatever they want about your stylistic change, but you're gonna start pulling in the dough with these songs. Can't wait to listen to all of 'em.

Well deserved, Owen! It's all top notch stuff.
If those friends have more success than you now, let's see when you're all 60 :D
