I've been asked a few times, why do I put out these CDs ever so often, but usually it's more like...
"You're not a f#$ing DJ, what the hell is this all about?"
It all started out my first stint in the District. Me and my boys (shout out to House Arrest II) would download all kinds of music so that when we threw our house parties we could keep 'em going from dusk 'til dawn. Other times, when people would come through just to hang out, they'd ask if we had such and such and when we didn't, we would go find that too. After a couple of years I ended up with a catalogue of music you wouldn't believe and a network of fellow music nerds. Eventually the price on CD burners dropped to the point where I actually copped one and I'd make CDs to entertain myself while I drove down to NC to see the fam. Hell, to be honest we even financed a few parties with "exclusives" we'd sell at the shopping center (damn, those were the times). Although those days of debauchery are over, I still make those trips down south and every once in a while will compile a greatest hits of the past few months, along with some oldies but goodies. When I started the blog, it only made sense that I would use them as a tool for promotional purposes.
So here we are today, and its that time again. I'm about to drop The Year of the Pig's mix CD #6 - The Travelin' Man. Featured artists this month are Kanye, Talib, Common, and Pharrell. By now you know the drill...hit me up with an email with your address and I'll send it to you, free of charge (aebraddy@hotmail.com). For those folks in the DC metro area, let me know and I'll find a way to get you one.
