So nobody mentioned how involved it is handling hundreds of merch orders at once LOL! BackerKit helped a lot, doubt I could have gotten everything organized if they didn't exist.

Making some progress, & wanted to share some news:

The shirts are now being printed, should be done within the next couple weeks. Posters are done and on their way to me. Hats will be printed this week probably. Having some issues getting the right sticker files together, but hopefully it'll happen soon.  We're looking at shipping everything in January sometime. Should be fun!

Also, the homie Keith Chow (who helped with the project bigtime) sent the autographed copies of Secret Identities to me so I can get them out to the right backers!!!

Nominated for URB Magazine Artist Of The Year!

Both me and Rekstizzy have been nominated for URB Magazine's Artist of the Year reader poll. Please take a couple seconds to vote 5's for us!!!

Helping promote a Kickstarter project... by a guy who helps people promote Kickstarter projects! This gentleman gave me some great advice, showed our project love on his podcast, and he's running a project of his own now, take a look! http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1750070982/announcing-dj-grandpas-crib-season-2?ref=live

And working on music! It's been a while since I had time to sit and create, due to taking care of the non-music aspects of this project.... I'm happy to say I'm starting to get back to it. There will be lots of new music with some of the Strength In NUMBERS artists (doing some writing with Ann One this week) and others, in the coming year!

more Strength In NUMBERS news: 

Luann Algoso who's been a great help with social media, is starting a series of interviews via Google Hangout, with some of our artists and friends. We'll keep you posted!

Peter Chen who's helped promote my music since way back, put together a fan video for Peril-L and El Gambina's "Girl Like That".... we're talking about shooting an official video for the song but Peter's vid is hilarious so I had to put it up 

Speaking of videos, JL Jupiter who directed (east coast scenes) and edited "No Turning Back" and edited "Top Down" is a dope artist, we're working on music soon!

Been talking with JL and with Timothy Tau about the next videos we'll be doing for the project, early in the year.

Also Joan G Grand who helped with Strength In NUMBERS promo is finishing up a project of her own, which I'm doing a couple tracks for! 

Hope everybody's having a great holiday season!!!

Reminder: need your info (so you can get your rewards!)

Strength In NUMBERS T-shirt size info!
about 11 years ago – Thu, Dec 05, 2013 at 01:09:31 PM

A couple people asked for size specifics so I want to remind everyone these shirts are "fashion fit" and generally more flattering than cheaper "boxy" shirts that tend to hang wide.

The sizes you picked are probably correct already, but I'll give a couple days for folks to log back into BackerKit and change if you want. Orders go to the printer first thing Monday Dec 9th! 

See attached picture for guidelines (sizes are unisex). The model stats & photos help, and if you want to get it exact as possible, take a shirt you have that fits well, and measure it as described in the photo. 

I got one of these shirts to test out, been washed & worn a few times now. It is a touch more snug (especially after Thanksgiving) but still good! 

Thanks again everybody!
