Wussup everybody, this is Yung Drew just writing to y’all to let ya know that the posting on this site will be significantly slowed or stopped, due to several issues – mainly due to the economy.  Unfortunately, I am in a position where I need to find other work in order to support myself and pay my student bills / loans…

I have thoroughly enjoyed promoting hip-hop on this site, but unfortunately – it doesn’t provide me with money to buy food or a means to support myself.  I also spend an incredibly large amount of time answering emails, writing new posts, uploading new tracks, etc.  Yes, I have always loved hip-hop, (and egotistically speaking) – I feel as though I love it more than YOU.

As far as the website goes:

I have also considered changing things up by publishing a couple of large posts per week with fairly lengthy artist interviews.  I also may start writing reviews for new albums.  I am considering keeping up with a Top 10 list of my favorite tracks each week, and am also considering doing a significant number of interviews with artists.  I am also likely going to be writing album reviews.

I do love publishing what is essentially info.crack (i.e. constant new posts / etc.) – but it takes a toll on me mentally, I spend a lot of time each day blogging, and I feel like the constant publishing of new tracks is unoriginal.  Not that this is terrible, but it doesn’t really provide the site with any unique flavor – esp. since people can download new promo songs anywhere nowadays (i.e. Torrents, FrostWire, LimeWire, and other various blogs).

Running this site has been a blessing, and I am grateful for everybody who has enjoyed stopping by!  I am not going to ever shut it down – as it will evolve into more of an in-depth artist interview blog / album review blog / personal blog.  If I find some dope tunes, sure I’ll throw em up.  However, I just wanted to make everyone aware that I will likely be chillin’ out with posting frequency.  No need to stop by here 10x per day… etc.

I am going to focus on writing more instead of posting links.  If you’d like to work on this blog or have me work for you – just hit me up on the email and we can further discuss.

I LOVE HIP-HOP,

Dopest track of the mu’fkkn day!  The intro. track to Asher Paul Roth’s upcoming album “Asleep In The Bread Aisle” – dropping on April 20th (i.e. 4/20).  Definitley diggin this – “Mario Kart skills are outrageous”.  Oh, and all haters can suck a Dick Butkus… BTW, if we’re talkin Mario Kart, Yoshi > your character.
