Download The Panorama Project--for Free!!!

About 4 years ago, I had this idea that I wanted to do an LP that was primarily hip hop based. To be more precise, it started out as an EP, but I digress. I started recording in my boys apartment (what up O?) in Baltimore during the summer of '05. Between life changes, job changes, O and his wife moving, etc...the LP wasn't "released" until September 7, 2007, or 07-07-07 (if you aren't using a Roman calendar). Between my artistic growth, lack of funds to produce the LP the way I wanted to (packaging), and a host of other issues, the Panorama project got stalled. Despite all of this, I still feel it is an album worth giving a listen, as I believe that a true hip hop head can find something in it to gravitate to. The lyrics could honestly be better, but they're poignant and honest nonetheless. The production could have been more apt and polished, but it was something I felt could roll with at the time, and stand by that decision today. Making this LP became an endeavor to discover ourselves, O as a budding producer, and me trying to find my confidence with the whole rhyming thing. Being so critical of everything I do, I'm inordinately critical of my rhymes. This process taught me how to be comfortable with myself as a rapper, and that if I put the time in, I could/can be very nice at doing it. This still doesn't mean I wanna be a rapper or anything; really, this is a form of self expression (it's a bit too late to be trying to jump in the game as a rapper). So, in that spirit, I'm releasing this project to the masses free of charge--no big hoopla or fanfare, as a testament to my growing process. If you wanna donate some loot to the cause, by all means let me know, but, please check out the project. Give it an honest and objective listen...and feel free to let me know what you think. Hell, you can even hate--just do so constructively.
