Today I wanna quickly cover 3 exclusive (as in not available elsewhere) projects that you can get right now for a mere $1.00 (or more) on crowdfunding sources.
The first is the "Offerings" EP from Gift of Gab via GoFundMe. Gift of Gab is currently raising funds for his kidney transplant and has offered up a new project to support the effort. Sucks to see so many rappers in the scene going through health issues right now. Shouts out to 2Mex and Fat Jack as well. Check the project HERE.
Next up is Illmac's "Pay Tree" EP via Patreon (get it?) The EP is six tracks that you won't be able to hear elsewhere, fully produced by Chase Moore. Peep it HERE.
Last up is Gepetto's "Shadows" EP via Patreon. Gepetto just jumped on the crowdfunding train this month and this exclusive EP, which revolves around the concept of, wait for it, shadows, is his welcome to the game. Check it HERE.
Who are ya'll following on Patreon or elsewhere?
I'm not a huge fan of the crowdfunding movement, benefits for specific costs like Gift's kidney transplant excepted. I understand the appeal for artists but it's hard to keep track of all these exclusive releases, and it can add up trying to. Plus the only subscription I've done where I got everything promised was Peps song of the week. That was some of the best money I've ever spent on music though, no doubt. Plus a few years later I got my name on his new album.
ReplyDeleteAre the patreon ones a subscription? Like a dollar a month or can you do a one time payment?
ReplyDeleteSubscription, but you can usually pay one month and download what you want then unsubscribe.
DeleteGot ya. I feel bad subscribing, downloading, and unsubscribing though. But also I always end up with too many subscriptions that end up hitting the old bank at the wrong time lol. I'm really not a fan of patreon I'd rather just pay ten bucks or whatever for the DL. Definitely gonna put in on tabs GoFundMe though
ReplyDeleteI meant "gabs go fund me" fuck auto correct
DeleteI know what you mean. Even when I've been paying for months and need to quit I feel bad, plus there's always the feeling in June that July's gonna bring something amazing lol.
