| ...... | 4 things you gotta remember
|  |  |
| ...... |  | Rent merchandise tents Pack the van with boxes of T-shirts, cds, posters, stickers, & promotional materials. Sell, sell, sell! We weren't just going to show up, we were going to make a presence. Right down to unscrewing the standard 100 watt light bulbs and screwing in our own red & blue colored bulbs so our merchandise booths would stand out at night.
|
| ...... |  | Line the pockets with cash These road trips run up quite a tab. But hey, I wanna live a little! Good eats, comfortable hotel, top shelf liquor, & purchasing power for merchandise is a priority. Remember folks... I'm not only a hip-hop producer...I'm a fan too!
|
| ...... |  | Bring the booze Our crew swigs the stew a notch above the binge drinkers. A habit like that requires coolers full of ice & mixers. You'll go broke getting your buzz on at the bar. The merchandise booth doubles as a mini-bar. Bottoms up!

| ...... | Soon as our booths were set-up, it was off to plaster stickers all over the joint. If folks weren't going to purchase my cds & t-shirts, then damn it........ they were going to be aware of the 85 decibel Monks logo! Did I mention beautiful girls attend hip-hop events like Scribble Jam? Eye candy in the house! |

I've done several tracks with the crew. They bring a d.i.y. ethic to the table, with a spoonful of apathy. (right picture) A head nod from producer & emcee One be Lo. Holla'! |

| ...... | (left picture) Boots stopped by the table to say what up! I'm glad a got of snap shot of that....I was pretty much drunkie-fu when it was taken. (center picture) Always a laugh or two when I run into poet & emcee Illogic. One of my favorites on the mic. (right picture) Sev Statik is one true to the bone hip-hop head. I dig his whole style. Representing Albany, New York. |
