14KT’s Nickel & Dimed album dropped yesterday via Mello Music Group. The animated video for “Five & Ten” features the Michigan producer getting behind the mic to vent his frustrations on beat jacking. In his own words:
This is one of the few times that I’ve written most of the verse in my head. I was reading ECCLESIASTES 2:17-23 and that scripture was right in alignment with how I felt as an artist at the time. I wrote this off of the frustration of releasing instrumental projects in my profession. I’ve been approached/treated MANY times in very unprofessional and disrespectful ways. I wanted to be a voice for all of my producer peers who deal with this frustration and to serve as a notice for up and coming producers/beat makers.
Nickel & Dimed features guest spots from Blu, Black Milk, MED, Kokane and others. Purchase via iTunes.
