LOOKS CAN BE DECEIVING!!!!

So at first glance, you would think that this campaign fell short of its goal . . . Well, I am happy to tell you that, not only did this campaign achieve its stated goal, it exceeded it! In total, we raised $2542 (141%)! I am so honored and grateful to the thirteen contributors that made this campaign a success!!! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!!


My name is Damon “Idiomz” Curtis and I am an emcee/beat maker; and, member of the Last Lyricists Music family. I’ve been involved in hip-hop for most of my adult life releasing my debut album “Come Hell or High Water” in 2010 and following up in 2012 with the EP “The Gemini Effect.” I love hip-hop because it provides me a conduit through which I can freely express who I am and why I am.

But even more important than the success I have enjoyed as an independent hip-hop artist is the fact that I am a fan of hip-hop first.  And it is because of my fandom that I have decided to come to you, my fellow fans of hip-hop, to engage with me in a movement – a movement to breathe new life into this hip-hop that we so love.

The Impact

I can remember first falling in love with hip-hop when I was ten years old listening to “Planet Rock” on vinyl with my auntie. There was something special about hip-hop back then. Fast forward thirty years later and the stuff that is called hip-hop today has lost its edge. I will never claim that hip-hop is dead; but, I will claim that it’s time to rekindle the flame that made hip-hop the cultural movement that it was and is.

That is why I am launching this, “The Year of the Boom-Bap” campaign on IndieGoGo – so that with your help, we can replace the gimmick in hip-hop with artistry and a love for the craft.

What I Need & What You Get

Through this campaign, I hope to raise enough funds to facilitate the release of my sophomore full-length album entitled “Renaissance Man”. In order to pull it off, I’ve set the funding goal at $1800; however, I am hopeful that this campaign will bring in $4800 or more!  At $1800, that is the bare minimum required in order to cover the cost of album artwork, short run duplication of discs, promo video shoot and print/internet promotions. With $4800, I can expand to bulk replication of an enhanced compact discs which would include extras such as music videos, a digital ebook, lyric sheets and more; and, I can hit the road on a promo tour to ensure that this movement reaches the masses.

And of course your generosity and support will not be for nothing! I’ve put together some pretty dope incentives to help you to decide at which level is best for you to give. They include exclusive downloads, posters, t-shirts and so much more! No amount is too small – and I am grateful for your support no matter how much it is!

Risks & Challenges

This is an all or nothing venture for me. The reality is that if this campaign does not reach the minimum established goal of $1800, I will likely have to hang up the mic for good. Making good quality music takes a lot of financial resources. I’ve been blessed to give away my previous projects for free; but, with little to no income from my previous endeavors, I won’t be able to continue unless I can pull this campaign and project off.

Other Ways You Can Help

Sure, I am coming to you as humbly as I can to ask for your support in this endeavor; however, this isn’t all about money. This has everything to do with the music, the outreach and the experience. Therefore, it would be a tremendous help if you could share this campaign on your Facebook page, Twitter feed and/or blog. Tell anyone who you may know who also appreciates the essence of hip-hop. Spread the word! Also, please keep this campaign and its intent in your prayers. If it is in God’s will for this to be a success, I am ever faithful that it will be. And if God has a different plan for me, He still gets all the glory.

So many of us have been starving for something more from hip-hop as of late. “Renaissance Man” is just my contribution to spark a movement – a movement I hope you will join with me – a movement to revive the spirit and essence of hip-hop. Thank you so much for your consideration and support. It is an honor and a privilege to share this journey with you. GOD BLESS!
