I've also amassed enough quality beats to do 3 albums. I will be in a recording frenzy for the next few months. My goal is to have a commercially released full-length album on my own label and a 2014 wall calendar ready to go by the Kentucky Derby (early May). Live performances will not be a major focus for me during the first half of 2014.
I've started to dabble with search engine optimization. I have two street team members working on optimizing the keywords for my sites. Hopefully, it'll help me get on the first page of Google searches more often. I've added backgrounds, headers, and themes to a few pages and I have 3 intro videos made. Next, I'll work on a YouTube channel introduction video. I already have the spokesperson, I just need to get it done.
I have a song that will be released on a mixtape later this month. A remixed, remastered version of "Get Ya Where I Want Ya" featuring The Event will be on DJ Bankrupt's new mixtape 'The End Game', which drops Sunday, January 26, 2014. The original version of the track was from a live performance at Highlands Taproom back in 2003. I found a surviving copy of it on an archived mirror of one of my old websites. After touching it back up, I figured why not let people enjoy it? So I decided to throw it on a free mixtape as opposed to letting it continue to collect dust.
I'm thinking about throwing a mixtape release party at a local strip club as opposed to a music venue because I don't really want to have to come up with a few sets of songs and carry the entertainment for the entire night. At a strip club, the entertainment is already there and there are enough people that will come anyway, regardless of wether there are any special events or not. As long as a strip club can spin a few of my songs during the course of the night and possibly allow one song to be performed, I'm cool.
I've recently started to receive some very interesting fan mail in my email account. A few female fans are starting to send me pics and even twerk videos of them dancing to "On Lock" (maybe I should make a YouTube video for "Drinks Up"). It got me thinking that maybe I need to start a new online show. Nothing like "Godhand's Casino of Gold" or "Godhand's Counsel". The new show will be similar to an urban take on the Howard Stern type of format. It will be more free wheeling and will involve eye candy. I'll probably start featuring the fan pics and videos in a segment of the show.
I recently had a producer send me a track that was subpar and I mentioned it on Twitter this week. I'm actually not that mad anymore. I've decided to simply use the beat as background music for suspense scenes in films (free use in exchange for screen credit). One of my personal assistants is working on contacting film production companies.
There have also been a few scrapped projects. I've scrapped the idea of writing an erotica e-book. It just doesn't work with the image change and doesn't provide enough of a boost for how much effort would go into it. I will, however try to complete a cookbook this year (proceeds of which will help fund the family reunions).
But aside from all that, the next big project will be getting professional quality promo photos made so I can fully change up my image. I will try to find a relative that does photography (in order to keep it all in the family) before turning to Deal Chicken, Groupon, or any of the other big discount sites. Once that is done, my digital graphics team will have something to work with.
Until the next time...
