What peeps,
I'm a hip hop artist who just signed a indie deal with scyon music. We're actually in the middle of recording the album. I already got some tracks done that are banging. I was hoping i could get some feedback from some outside sources. You're feedback is really important.
Check my myspace page out and drop me a few lines.
