Rocky Rivera Has A New Album Out--Support A People's Artist!

From Rocky Rivera, one of the greatest rappers around, who has a new album out:

My album has been nearly two years in the making, and yesterday I was finally able to see it materialized. I've been poring over every detail of it sonically, aesthetically, financially, and emotionally and I hope that you feel it when you buy the cd. There's something different about downloading it off the internet and holding an actual copy in your hand - you can learn all about the people who were involved, get a sense of who I am and feel closer to me as an artist (aww warm squishy feeling).

And I'm saying this because it's the same feeling when I write an article in print, walk to the newstand, pick up a copy and flip to the page: there it is, my hard work for all to see.

I'm also saying this because it's important that people go out and support artists, especially the independent ones. I can tell you right now that every penny goes straight to my bank account and feeds my family. Of course, I can't say that I've never bootlegged an album, but what I can say is that I know plenty of independent artists, including my man and I, who don't take it as a pet project and who supplement their income while at the same time, adhering to principles of integrity that keep us from getting that mainstream $.
