50 days later and we have reached our destination! I was close to averaging 10 views per day and they are all appreciated! #TheResumeEP has officially been distributed digitally in multiple markets around the world from Russia to The United Kingdom! +Amazon.com +7digital +Zvooq +eMusic +Deezer +Google Play & +WiMP Norge to name a few!
This is one of the thing I should have done in my life long ago but better late than never! My last 50 days of pushing this project as an #ArmyOfOne has wielded little success in the US and a decent amount of love in The UK & Canada. Grateful for both outcomes! My first performance for the year is set for January 16th down in Miami. Flyer can be found on my +Facebook+ Fan Page as well as other social media sites.
I am still awaiting the replies from all of the work I put in around christmas time when most people we off. I will also be taking a partial hiatus to handle some personal things this weekend and into the middle of next week but will try to get updates in as I will not be completely detached from the world during that time!
It has been pretty chill since Saturday but everything will happen when it is supposed to!
As always, thanks for reading and riding! All support is greatly appreciated and thanks in advance for said support!

Day 46 on The road to #TheResumeEP by @WhoIsOSmith
So close to release date! 46 Days in and we rollin, rollin, rollin! It's been a pretty good day today. Work has been extra busy. It's like all the people that did not hit us yesterday, came back for revenge today! There was no chill until just a few minutes ago!
Today I got a hold of a list of international music blogs and spent the brief spots of time in-between working sending out emails! I also posted my current stats on my FB wall. The numbers still look bad but it's okay!
I have some plans to link up with +sleepingbagstudios and +Radio Cardiff in the near future on some projects. I may make my first appearance at a partially local open mic tomorrow night but havent decided yet due to the promoter not replying back to me.
On that note I need to really get on my local push and hit some bars and clubs to get the music in the hands of the DJ and uploaded on the Jukeboxes. Going to find my flash drive and load it with the tunes and place my ISRC in my phone.
Not really much going on today, this blog is utterly lackluster! Its okay though, because I havent gotten a comment, share, or like yet and I'm 40 plus post deep so I doubt anyone is actually reading them! If you are my sincerest apologies for this one!

Day 45 on The road to #TheResumeEP by @WhoIsOSmith
When I come back like Jordan, wearing the 4-5. It ain't to play games with you! Yeah, 45 Days in and we rollin, rollin, rollin! It is the first day of 2015 and man it is a lovely one! Brought in the New Year with the fam, had a few drinks, played some +Destiny the Game & some +Grand Theft Auto V last night with my old PSN crew until about 4-5am, then get up for work this morning!
So I'm at work and checked my email and what I found was #Awesome I got a reply from +sleepingbagstudios and they published the review of #TheResumeEP by Jer on the main page of the site this morning! Officially the first project reviewed in 2015! And the actual review, marvelous! To read the review click here!
Wow, I forgot to mention in the previous paragraph that the company SBS is from Canada! Abbotsford, BC to be exact! It appears I am getting a lot of international love for this project and I am loving it! This place is literally on the other side and at the top of the map from my current geographical location!
I posted the review once and will do so again in a while. I have decided not to post the same thing over and over but will continue post throughout the day, mixing it up with different things. This is my 3rd piece of press for this project and it hasn't been released yet! Still no numbers on the pre-orders and less than a week before it goes live on multiple digital sites.
I will start up another shirt campaign Saturday. Keeping my eye open for local and out of town performance opportunities. Also going to start selling the physical copies. The journey is just getting started and it is a lot more work to be done. I am definitely grateful for my current position and new contacts. Keep watching, I'm going places!

Day 44 on The road to #TheResumeEP by @WhoIsOSmith
Less than week left! We are 44 Days in and rollin, rollin, rollin! Its freaking New Years Eve!!!! I dont get as excited about the holidays as I used to back in my younger days but tonight I know that some club in Cardiff, Wales will have people vibing to my music! That I will drink to! No resolutions set as I want to keep improving day by day from 44 days ago forward!
I got a majority of the list for submissions done today. Still need to get the files converted to WAV. format. I have been slacking in that department but will definitely get around to it, I promise. The Clean Up Man video has been confirmed as a go on the VEVO and 2 other sites that pay out. I dont plan on doing ANY promo on that one initially.
I want to see who is paying attention and what it can do on its own. I was just about to make a remark about calling out the people coming out now that I have outside support but remembered I said something about it already lol.
I sat by the pool last evening and put all of the physical disc into cases. Posted a pic on my Instagram which in-turn posted pics to my other social media sites! I may start selling the physical copies early but I havent decided yet. If you need a physical copy feel free to contact me and I will make that happen!
As usual, thanks for reading and riding! All support is greatly appreciated and thanks in advance for said support!

Day 43 on The road to #TheResumeEP by @WhoIsOSmith
43 and at this current moment I cant think of anything witty that goes with it, lol, but we are that many days in and rollin, rollin, rollin! I am about to leave work shortly and figured I'd knock the blog out before I got home and got caught up gaming or doing other things! Yesterday was an #Awesome day by the way. Lets get right into it!
We gone start with the highlight and thats the love I have been getting from The UK in the last few days! I'm talking about mad love from The UK! There is a station out there called Radio Cardiff 98.7FM and they have been spinning #Awesome 2-3 times a day! One of the host is a guy name @Schwarz_BBC4L (on twitter) and he's been beyond cool!
He had me call in and do an interview over the radio, in The UK! I had to add international long distance on my phone and everything! Well worth it though. Though him I also linked up with some DJ's out that way and in communication about adding #Awesome to their playlist! On top of that, a very popular DJ by the name of @DJBlack (on twitter) will be spinning #Awesome on #NYE (New Years Eve) in his sets!
The 2 paragraphs above alone had me on cloud nine! I got my reviews back from ReverbNation and it was harsh but genuine and I needed that. It showed me there is still people out there looking for content, there are also people out there who dont care for content, and all around let me know I am on the right path.
The press release was complete and sent out for distribution. The release is literally one week away! I can wait and at that point its only the beginning! It was crazy to see how the love came out once I started getting love from outsiders. My facebook is jumping right now and I literally have done nothing different in the last 24 hours that I've done in the last 43 days! It's all good though, because I called it like a pool shot!

Day 42 on The road to #TheResumeEP by @WhoIsOSmith
Oh yeah! Looking like Ronnie Lott out here! 42 Days in, and we rollin, rollin, rollin! Hello everyone! I didnt get to blog yesterday but I did get a little bit of work in. I packaged up some of the physical copies of #TheResumeEP. That was about it lol. I was abducted by some out of town family and taken to a cookout/watch party. I had a few drinks, ate, came home, ate again, and went to bed.
Came in to work early today. I got back on track with the submissions and uploaded another track fro the EP to +SoundCloud and got a couple more spins on Cardiff Radio in The UK. I just started the push on the +ReverbNation app and next is local promo. Got in contact with a local DJ who is hosting an event mid Jan. Awaiting a reply, I'll keep you guys posted.
Nothing much going on today. I feel kinda strange writing this early. I shall continue throughout the day with submissions and making moves in the back office for the greater good. "The Greater Good" LMAO If you seen the movie +Hot Fuzz you know what I'm talking about!

Day 40 on The road to #TheResumeEP by @WhoIsOSmith
Looking like Shawn Kemp out here! 40 Days in and we rollin, rollin, rollin!!! I feel phenomenal as usual! In my ShadyXV vibe right now! With each passing day, things just seem to keep getting better! I'm loving it, bah dah dah dah daaaaaah! Alright we bout to get right into it!
So this morning, I was in touch with some affiliates of a radio station in the UK. +Radio Cardiff will be spinning #Awesome over the next week or so and if the response is good enough it could make regular rotation! I'm also looking at setting up an on air interview with them as well! This is one of the few moves I am working on in the UK.
I submitted some tracks to another batch of licensing companies. Most of them are on holiday leave so I wont get result til mid to late Jan. I still got a long list to go. I try to knock off about 20 per day. I still need to get the wav. versions in my email so I can send to the ones who only use those.
I had a long convo about fans and supporters at work with some of my fellow employees. Somehow through my personality I gained 3 fans of my music from work and a couple supporters on that merit alone. Loving it I am!
I will only have Sunday off so I might not do too much as I will be back on it, on it bright and early Monday morning!
