Ok yes we have had a nationwide distributer for all his albums since the first one. They all havent had a great sales staff but they were in most of the stores in the region where most bay rap sells.. ex. Quinn/bay music does good in Kansas City, Cleveland, Phoenix, Portland, Seattle, etc.. This album I Give You my Word is going thru City hall theyhave alot of accounts all over the nation but we will see.. Looks Like Im going to go with RED/Sony Distribution after this project So thats better nationwide Distribution. As for radio we have a radio promoter on this Butterfly record it just recently got mailed out to about 300 mixers all over the country so we will see what the response is like, so far we have been getting good responses a fee places so WE WIll SEE.. its all politics and strategic plans that have to be executed having a good song is the least of your problems trying to get radio play.. and Video i s even harder becase BET/MTV play videos according to your BDS(RADIO SPINS) so if its not a national smash on radio there is no use of even shooting a video it wont get played and you just wasted your budget.. So basically you need to be in with a good radio promoter (who is in good with all the stations and has favors) so he can get you a few adds, then once that happens ya need to find a good video promoter before you even shoot it.. and Thats EXPENSIVE BOTH! a VERY GOOD radio promoter will cost you about 10 to 15 racks and thats for the first month of the record.. best way to get your company off the ground inother areas is going there, you need to get on and meet people the power of contacts is the best promotion, every person you meet you will know for life, and if they like you or your music they will tell someone and so on.. Yes when we are in other cities different poeple hold us down when we are there just like how i do when they are out here.. matter of fact thats how i get most of the artist out here from networking on the road, Like I was on the Nelly tour for 3 weeks thats how i got to know all of them.. and another thing the POWER OF OUR TREES OUT HERE!! man you can do some much with some weed in another area! But im not recommending you do something to risk your freedom.. But thats what 90% of these artist want! yeah a few people from other areas have been calling but mostly people from around here cuz they hear us a lil bit on the radio everybody wants a "clean" verse now and want me to take it down to the station shit is crazy like i got any Athority down there.. thas funny.. Man Our music (to me) is alot Hotter than most of the shit being brought down to the station but people think cuz we get played they should thats the mentality of every bay area rapper right now i come across i swear ok im getting of the topic. let me move to the next question..
STS:
As far as Quinn and messy goes they were both working on their solos so hard that they have had conficting schedules both records were done awhile ago.. and it was intentionally done but they just didnt get around to getting on either of their projects... maybe the next one. The mess and Quinn album will either come out on Done Deal or a joint with Skaleen Ent.. Noone else will be putting out this album if and when it ever happens.. the LLoyd Banks shits never happened we were going thru a middle man that was too greedy thats why but we have a direct connect now so maybe later.. And Lil Kim never happened because of the same thing but now that its possible i dont wanna use her no more.. yeah we will do another roster Mixtape with Mind Motion later this year, and Fully loaded Mix Tape willl be out shortly.
And as for willie Hen I honestly dont know i plan on sitting down with Willie Hen this week he just got back from Houston like monday or something i will keep you guys posted
