Rap nowadays is filled with fakes, charlatans, and hucksters. This EP [Redacted] is my first attempt to change that. 6 songs of brutal, introspective, ruthless honesty. 6 videos to go with them. All I need is your help in getting the physical copies made. The Tesseract Society has warned me not to release them, so I need you help to take these songs out of my head and press them onto CDs.
MC Blackwolf - [Redacted] EP
Hi, my name is MC Blackwolf. God, that's so formal, MC Blackwolf was my father's name, call me Blackwolf. I'm a rapper out of Fishtown/Port Richmond area Philadelphia where I frequently play shows. I haven't released a song since 2011 because nothing in the interim has been good enough. My inner critic has gotten a lot of work, and has very harshly judged all attempts to create a solid project. I finally think that I have wrestled my demons enough to make something that I am truly proud of. I finally found my sound. If you've seen me live (as Blackwolf or in my group Kim Jong Ill) then you know that I am all about energy. Its a weird energy, but there's a lot of it. That is something that was really important for me to capture on this EP and I think I just may have succeeded.
This campaign is meant to fund 2 things:
- Physical Copies of the [Redacted] EP
- Blackwolf Tshirts
I know, it seems a bit weird to use a bullet list for only two items, but that's how excited I am about this project.
What I Need & What You Get
"Hey Blackwolf!" You say indignantly, "What do you need all this money for? Are you just going to roll it all into a ball and throw it into a woodchipper?"
- I promise that not one dollar that I get will end up in a woodchipper. (Some of it will be rolled up, but that's just how I store my money.)
- Physical CD Printing Costs: All told printing costs are going to run me about $300.
- T-Shirt Printing: T-Shirts are going to run me somewhere around $200
- If I don't reach my goal, I'll pay the rest out of pocket and all rewards will still go out.
What do I already have?
I already have the album finished. It is mixed and mastered and sitting on my laptop dreaming of one day being a real EP.
- Album art from the infinitely talented Sally Madden
- T-shirt designs from the incomparable Sally Madden
- 6 songs recorded over beats from 4 amazing producers (keen, ostubash, Matt Cattie, and oldboi)
- A go getter attitude
I can't really afford this, but I still want to help...
Just because you can't contribute financially does not mean that you can't help me:
- Share this campaign page
- Share my videos as I post them
- Tell your friends to like my page
- Create false accounts on facebook to artificially inflate both my like count and my ego
- Come out to my shows
Anyone who shares this campaign on social media will receive a song download from the EP when this campaign is finished.
