The Havilland Savage Theory has reached nearly 7,000 people in 2 months. The ONLY reason I bring up the numbers is because last year I released six projects & got 12,000 downloads. In 2011 I've reached half of that with only one. I'm excited, some would call that "enlarging my territory"...I call it faith, favor, hard work & dedication....but ANYWAY

In the midst of the Havilland Savage Theory, there was still an untold story. Still unanswered questions. Still some things I wasn't able to say under the project's original concept. So I'm dropping a bonus EP entitled "The Residue" this April & this is the 1st single from it.

We da best mayne!!!! We deed it!!!!

On a whim I asked for 500 followers on twitter. By no means am I a "follow whore". I admit I did Team Followback on a whim & met some of the weirdest, loneliest, most boring people in the history of....uhhhh....ever.

The feed back for The Havilland Savage Theory has blown my expectations away. We reached 3,000 downloads in 9 days with little to no internet support. Meaning, other than Them Fighting Words, Hustle Knockin, the9elements, & DaSouth, this project was pushed purely off "word of mouth". At one point my entire Facebook wall was filled with people posting the mixtape. The response has been humbling & beyond my wildest expectations. Thank you.

So as a result, I've decided to make ALL of my music "name your price". INCLUDING Dreaming Out Loud. So download AWAY!!!!! You're welcome.

In association with BareFruit Co & The Way Columbus, I present to you "The Havilland Savage Theory" in all of it's glory

Click here if you can't see the player

I was up until 4am tweaking, re-recording, mixing, tweaking some more, sequencing, leveling, & tweaking some more until I finally got it right. If I didn't have to work, I promise I would've been up til at least 8-9am. But this is perfect.

ALSO, I am trying to raise money to get this, as well as past & future projects pressed up as physical copies. So a donation of whatever you're lead to give would be greatly appreciated.

Finally, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE read the attached pdf "The Guide To The Havilland Savage Theory" to get the full spectrum of the project. Of course I'm always open to hearing stories of you applying these philosophies into your own life & how it works. Leave a comment or shoot me an email.

ENJOY!!!

The 1st leak from The Havilland Savage Theory (February 9th!!!!) I'm a huge fan of Marsha Ambrosius & Far Away is my favorite song of 2011 (so far) so I already knew I wanted to do something with it. As far as how it fits in the storyline of The Havilland Savage Theory, this is the point of the movie where Lee Plenty begins to realize all the ideas he created in his mind about Havilland are wrong...all wrong. When we love someone, we are blinded by it; all of their faults & shortcomings conceal themselves behind the other person's emotion. Which can either be really good, or REALLY BAD. In this case, it didn't work for Lee, as Havilland wasn't good for him at all. She was manipulative & selfish. My verse is based of his POV once he drops Havilland off after New Years weekend.

You'll never guess who I ran into today...

Havilland Savage.

OK, lemme not disrespect. I'm positive professionals hate it when they're typecasted. Dustin Diamond had to act a fool for 2 years on random VH1 shows, film a porno & still couldn't get away from "Screech". Despite James Avery being the voice for Shredder on the Ninja Turtles cartoon, people always refer to him as "Uncle Phil".

So I met Chenoa Maxwell. The actress who played Havilland Savage in the cult classic Hav Plenty.

The same Havilland Savage I'm basing my next mixtape off of. Crazy right? OK, here's the story:

While deciding what movie I would base the mixtape off of, I scoured google for minutes on end; trying to find little tidbits of characters, random facts about the movies I had narrowed it down to. So I google "Chenoa Maxwell".

I learned that she has a website & that she's become a photographer. Great. I also see she has a twitter. Greeeeat.

I'm a twitter nerd. I'm on there all day err day ~~talking about absolutely nothing~~ networking. And I've met some incredible people because of it. Whodathunk it?!?!

So I think to myself "it'd be dope if the inspiration for my music, could see & hear how she inspired me". So on a whim, I followed her. Her twitter is private so I had to wait a few days for her to accept my request. I lightweight forgot about it.

Then out of nowhere, she's on my timeline...and she's greeting new followers.

So I hit her up...and she says

Oh!!!! She's inquiring about the cover my mans & em Ian Young did for The Havilland Savage Theory. So I explain the concept & she says

Oh!!! She's interested??? In hearing the mixtape??? Word???? SO I give her the bandcamp & the release date & she says

It was a WRAP!!!! You couldn't tell me NOTHIN SON!!!!! It's like when your child draws you something that they KNOW if for YOU and you ALONE...soon as they see you it's "daddy look!!!!"

That's how I felt. The woman who played the role that is currently giving me inspiration beyond belief wants to see the picture I'm painting. So if she's on board...

Why aren't you???

UPDATE 9/30/14

Didn't think I'd be updating this, AT ALL.

So I woke up to Havilland randomly posting the cover on her instagram

She obviously hadn't heard the tape was my 1st thought. Which was cool. People are busy. I would also be weirded out if someone used my face as their mixtape cover. So I mean, I get it.

So in true rapper fashion, I flashed the bat signal to my wonderful supporters
