Legendary Producer Erick Sermon Launches Kickstarter Campaign | @iAmErickSermon

on

Erick Sermon is known as one half of the New York hip hop group EPMD, but is also one of New York hip hop’s most well-known producers, producing a mile-long track record of hits with over 70 million album sales, helping to shape New York hip hop and put the city on the map. Aside from producing, the green-eyed bandit has also created film scores for some of Hollywood’s biggest films.

Today, he is in the works of his new album, entitled Go, which his reasons are that him and his team wants to get maximum exposure from the word “go.” The album will feature Big K.R.I.T., Pharrell Williams, Method Man, his old Def Squad collaborators Keith Murray & Redman, and it will be launched on his new indie label, Def Squad Records.

“I want to bring the balance back to Rap music and make songs that are not just about sex, drugs and money, and to give real music a chance,” said Sermon to Rolling Stone. “I want people to look at other creativity other then the same-old same-old and ask when are we gonna take the left turn and realize what J. Cole and Kendrick Lamar had done to make a balance in this rap game. The reason I’m starting this label is because I’m tired of hearing the depiction of what black people look like in the conversation. I want to make a balance in the culture, so it won’t be one-sided.”

In honor of the campaign, Erick releases the first cut from the Go, album, entitled “Come Thru” featuring Method Man, Mr. Cheeks and Craig Mack.

Yes, the album is well on its way and in the video, Erick explains more on starting the Kickstarter campaign. The goal, $60K. The rewards? 20 stellar perks to share from your donation, ranging from $2 for a bonus track to $10k for a chance to record a beat and music video with the legendary producer, himself.

It’s all or nothing! The Kickstarter link is live and ready to “go!” Donate and help make Erick Sermon’s album as dope as it should be. Click the link for more info.

Hailing from Gwinnett ‘DA NAWF’, BIG 4.1 emerges as a beacon of authenticity in the realm of hip-hop. With his latest track, “BIG SACK,” recently released and produced by the skilled Joe Peoples, BIG 4.1 delivers not just a song, but a mantra for financial empowerment and self-improvement. In a world obsessed with flaunting bags, BIG 4.1’s message cuts through the noise, urging listeners to focus on filling their “BIG SACK” with tangible wealth rather than mere appearances.

The song’s genesis stems from BIG 4.1’s desire to instill a culture of financial responsibility and foresight. Emphasizing the journey from a single $100 bill to a sizable nest egg, “BIG SACK” serves as a daily anthem for those striving to secure their futures. In an exclusive statement, BIG 4.1 explains his motivation: “It’s that time, it’s right on time for what’s going on and to teach our culture to save up that BIG SACK start at 20. By the time you’re 40 you can retire yourself if you do it right.” With lyrics that resonate beyond the beats, BIG 4.1 aims to spark a movement towards financial literacy and empowerment.

As BIG 4.1 gears up for his show in Anderson, South Carolina, alongside his team, the BOONDOCK KINGS, his mixtape “ME VS ME BAR-4-BAR THE MIXTAPE Vol 1” sets the stage for a musical revolution.
