Here we go now. Here we go here we go here we go now. What was once just a mere thought has now become action. Something that this contributor is used to seeing happen. So many times I have had to prove myself against people’s disbelief’s in me, and every time I get better at doing it. In fact, family included there are only two people in this world who have never scoffed at me for anything; my dad King Errisson, and one of my best friends Jesus Diaz. Around them I am me completely but everywhere else it is a battle. A battle that I intend to win. What makes this experience different though? Well for starters I’m taking on an entire industry. An entire business model if you will. I’m putting my faith not only in the people, but in myself, and that I do have what it takes to affect the masses while not selling myself short of my artistic capabilities, and ideas. Also I won’t really know if this M4TP plan will resonate for at least 8-12 months.
Already there are supporters. This is great. Some people have surprised me and some have broken my heart but support anywhere it can be had is amazing. Thank you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to those who are with me, this, us. Thank you as well to those who do not accept me for me, and to those who do not believe, and to those who do not want this to succeed. It is fuel and a necessity. Also thank you to all who critique. Positive or negative you are doing exactly what I always wanted. Making up your own mind. You may enjoy an electro rumbling cover of ‘6 Underground’ and you may prefer the original. You may enjoy a bouncy piano pop song with a vocalist reminiscent to Lily Allen or Kate Nash or it may be too soft for you but as stated in our original mission statement, YOU have the choice. It all boils down to you.
M4TP ft. Jessica Monet – Gone Baby Gone
We do not get paid for this. Of course we are all artist available for hire in our own respective realms but when it comes down to M4TP, it will always be M4TP. It will always be free, new, undiscovered, rising, hidden gem of an entity. It is a voice, that has multiplied into voices. Hopefully one day it can be your voice that screams along with us. We hope you always remember that. In the future, no matter if M4TP is still at the level it is now or if is the next American Sensation remember what was said right here. It will always be free, new, and take risk. If at any time these promises are not met you can call me out on it with my own words.
Get involved! You don’t like us talk shit, turn the other way, bash us, do something. If you would rather listen to what is on the radio then tell us why. Shout it out. Make the music that you believe in mean something! I am a number one proponent of learning everyday. I never stop learning. No matter how knowledgeable I am on a certain topic or trade I always keep my mind open. So help me to see why Yung Joc, or Diddy Dirty Money resonates with you, versus the new project from Danger Mouse, Daniel Lupi, Norah Jones, and Jack White. Or why you would prefer to listen to, I don’t know Fall Out Boy versus some Jimi Hendrix. If there is reason, there is truth. With truth there is substance, and the subjective veil that colors each and every one of our corneas is lifted. If you choose to entertain the thought of learning that is.
On the other hand if you enjoy what we are doing. If you have thoughts of how to reach even more people. If you would like to donate to our cause, and donations would greatly be appreciated, wink wink, then go ahead and do it. M4TP is the people’s music label. Do something about it.

p.s. until I figure out how to get the donate button on here if you are indeed interested in making a donation check out m4tp.bandcamp.com and name your own price for one of our releases.
