WolF J. McFarlane (former group member of BFDM) had been in the studio all year to drop his Mixtape “UpSideDownDay tapemix”. He decided since all his life he’s been surrounded by the number 4, from Birth being born at 4:44am to having 4 brothers, high school nickname 004, being part of 4 different musical groups, so blah blah blah 444, he decided to drop his mix-tape September 4th, 4:44pm. “UpSideDownDay tapemix” is exactly what it sounds like, with production by Rich Kidd, The Carps, KJ, LordQuest and Shane Tone, the heavy drum, synth grabbing musical “tapemix” should be received well.
“It’s been a phenomenal year for critically acclaimed Toronto Emcee Theology 3, from the unforgettable50 BARS, SAME PATTERNbuzz video to the Worldwide banger Make It Big on Screwface Capital® records. Receiving consistent international spins from the likes of Dj Eclipse (NYC), Dj Kingstun (U.K.), Dj Lord Jazz (Paris), and Michael Nardone (California) coupled with Canada wide support from DJ’s such as Dj Grouch (T.O.), Budda Blaze (Montreal), Jay Boogie (Winnipeg), Dj Cosm (Calgary), Dj Sage (B.C.) & Countless others, the table has been set for a bevy of highly anticipated new releases.
The upcoming FEATURING…NO Features ep, due out digitally October 2009, is laced with one of a kind production spotlighting a wide array of topical rhymes spanning the spectrums of self confident banter, stream of consciousness lyrics and all areas in between. This truly is a sonic ride not be missed! The over the top bounce of “Under my Skin” (Tek n’ Klipz) and the hypnotic head nod of “Employee of the Month” (produced by grammy nominated Tone Mason) display the stunning contrast of sounds and styles with vivid realism.
As a salute to the growing legions of fans and industry supporters of the musical movement, Theo3 will be releasing1 BRAND NEW verse every week with production from Toronto beat monster Big Sproxx leading up to the October release date of the FEATURING…NO Features ep.“
I always thought the single snippet idea was a waaay more effective method of gaining single promo/buzz without actually releasing the song.
Why artists don’t do it more often is a definite Caramilk mystery.
Sure it irritates the hell out of fans, deejays and bloggers but if the song’s good, it works.
(Diddy proved it with Biggie’s “Who Shot Ya” & “The Benjamins” which were both originally released as one verse snippets).
I’d even argue the state of the industry would be completely different if this had been adopted from the digital jump (I know, I’m digressing, I’ll shut up now, lol!).
