Eternia & MoSS - Road to Release Episode #5
Public Service Announcement from Eternia:
"I'm a lil mentally scattered at the moment, so this blog may not be as succinct as the previous ones. That's O.K... that's what the VIDEO is for! SO PEEP IT!
I't's been over a month now!! We've been getting a lot of awesome feedback with the weekly video episodes. For that I am grateful, I definitely get the sense that people are in tune, & know that these exist. Which is all I could ask for really... they are a lot of work, more than they may look. A good, solid 3-5 days of work, weekly (from planning, to shooting, to editing, to blasting, to follow-up)... which is a good chunk of our week. So I'm glad that you guys are following us, and that all the effort is not in vain.
Some bloggers & online media sites have told us that until we give them SONGS, they won't be posting the video content. From my humble point of view, that's kinda counter-intuitive. These vids were conceptualized b/c we knew it would be awhile before we had a label situation, in order to properly promote and leak singles. And yet we didn't want to leave the world with... crickets.
We conceptualized these video episodes in the first place because we knew there would be quite a significant gap of time between: "AT LAST" the Album being DONE & "AT LAST" the Album being on shelves and in your hands. A minimum of 6-8 months, to be realistic. And I didn't want people to think we were sitting on our thumbs, doing nothing, whenever the question of, "What's up with the new album?" arose. I wanted to answer that Q w/ every episode. I wanted to take you on the journey with me:
- Listening Sessions.
- Shopping for Record Deal
- Promoting the Album
- Performing, photo shoots, video shoots...
- Deciding on buzz singles... lead singles... getting the music to you...
and so much more (anybody who's dropped an album can understand & appreciate what I'm talking about)
And the funny part is, I know once the songs leak... everyone's gonna wanna play catch-up on the episodes."
Keep doing ya thing Eternia, I've been a fan of yours since "It's Called Life", and I will continue supporting you regardless if you leak tracks out or not. You're one of the dopest emcees spitting today and always have excellent production. Any true hip-hop fan that doesn't buy the album once it is released might as well just stop listening to music and go hibernate for the duration of their existance.
