Following the successful debut of last year’s digital-only LP, “Prepare For Glory”, underground hip hop producer Cartel, releases his follow-up album, “Tha Throwback”, as a free download on Universal Indie Records, an online record label launched by the creators of HoodGrown Magazine and Musica360.com
Tha Throwback is produced entirely by Cartel and features some of the most promising, upcoming MC’s in the game right now. “I’ve named it Tha Throwback because it’s a throwback to when hip hop artists actually cared about lyrical content.” states Cartel. “Those who enjoyed the first album can expect to hear a tremendous growth in the production of this album. I’m not interested in following todays production trends, but I have stepped up my beat game since the release of the first album.”
As with the first LP, Tha Throwback is offered as a free download but with a twist. The 12 track album is available as a free download and an enhanced version of the album containing 2 acapellas and a video is also available for $5.00. Those who purchase the enhanced version will be eligible to enter the “Tha Throwback Remix Contest” in which the winner will be awarded $200 for producing a track on an upcoming Universal Indie project. The song that will have to be remixed is “You” by the Scholarly Pursuits. Give it a try!
The Cartel "Tha Throwback" Remix Contest will run from November 1st 2008 - June 1st, 2009.
