September 14, 2004 marks the day I released my very first project, The Mind's Mixtape volume 1. While it's not available publicly (for good reason, I couldn't count bars and none of the lyrics were on beat), I still want to celebrate this huge milestone.
I recorded this mixtape on Angel's Acer laptop, using Acid Pro 4.0 and a headset microphone I had from a voice-to-speech program my mom had. Shout out to all those industry instrumentals that was available at the time.
The only way to get a copy then was via a Yousendit link or I had to burn one and mail it.
20 years later, all you have to do is go to my Bandcamp to access my entire discography (most of it) any time you want.
And all of September, when you use the code “20th”, everything is on sale for 50% off!
I’m also trying to figure out a performance of the entire HYPHEN album. I was thinking about doing a live stream but I’m not sure how I’ll be able to pull it together this month. However, watch this space for developments!
As Stan used to say, Excelsior! Or as I say, thanks y’all!
