Spoken Nerd’s new album Apocalypse Awareness Day is on it’s way and will be available in the coming months.  This album was produced by Spoken Nerd and Nashville’s turntable/production Wizard, ORIG.  The duo is quite pleased with new album is ecstatic to inform you they are launching a Remix Contest for THE DARK LORDS OF CUPCAKE FOREST (FEATURING LISTENER).  I was actually informed that this was the one beat that Spoken Nerd produced independent of Orig, although he did seek help from Proseed Produce (Beat Boxcar Children of Geeklife Records).  That being said Orig plans to enter the contest as well.

‘ Nauts Landing EP.

Go Get it.

As participating artists in the genre of hip hop, on behalf of our genre and culture, we have a confession to make. We have walked in darkness.  We have written wack rhymes. We have bitten other people’s music.  The time for change is coming. On 8/8/08 we are having an event to repent for our crimes against society.  We are pulling our pants up, fasting from wack rap, and pouring our 40’s out on the curb in preparation for a better day.  We hope that you will join us.  We are sick and tired of our culture being exploited by drug money, name dropping, and corperate cults.  Things have got to change. I am calling out for artists to build community rather than animosity.  Let there be health rather than self destruction and let us build a culture of artists who would die for one another, rather than kill for the promotion of self.

THE HOLLA!

So Kers has been working hard on several new projects and two of them are nearing completion.  The first project he will be releasing is a free EP entitled “The Homework EP”.  This is a 4 track project produced entirely by Glad2Mecha it will feature Foreknown Apostolic and will have cuts by DJ Choice One.  The next project he will be releasing will be called “Happiness Is An Illusion.”  This project is entirely produced by Society of the Invisibles member and Babygrande recording artist Annex.  It will have a feature by Xololanxinxo of OMD and Toca. Both of these projects are scheduled for release later this year.   Kers has also been working on several group projects.  Two of the projects are with his group Equal Opportunity which consists of Kers and Glad2mecha.  The first project being released is entitled “Shrinkrap”  This project was recorded entirely in 2006 it has been sitting on the shelf.  Kers and Glad feel it is finally time for you all to hear their thoughts and feelings from their younger years.  This project will come out before the end of the year.  The 2nd project is entitled “Growing Pains” and will be released mid 2009.  It contains features from Life Rexall of the Shapeshifters, Adru The Misfit from Nez Beats, Xololanxinxo of OMD, DJ Drez of Project Blowed and more.  Kers has also been working on a project with MLA label-mate Foreknown Apostolic.  This project currently does not have a title or a release date.  We just though we would let you all in on the secret.  This project is in the early stages and already has production from Pickster One of the Drunken Immortals and Fantastic B-Boy from Germany.
