Day 13 on The road to #TheResumeEP by @WhoIsOSmith

How's it going out there everyone?!?! 13 days in and we rollin, rollin, rollin! We are less than 24 hours from the release of the Awesome video! I have set it to release via +YouTube at 8AM Monday morning. The single can be purchased via +ReverbNation on my page. I will post the links below so you don't have to search. I will post the links for the pre-order of the full EP as well. I stayed up all night playing +Destiny the Game so I didn't get started on the road trip till early this afternoon.

So far I have updated my ReverbNation page with current EP artwork as well as submitted some press kits to various contest. I have uploaded a screenshot of the EP on +Amazon.com through my +Instagram +Facebook+ Fan Page +Twitter +Foursquare & +Tumblr sites. Also posted the single itself on a few of the aforementioned sites. Every hour or so I will post something across the board as well as continue to update things. I have to get started on the +Teespring store sometime this evening so it can be up and running by tomorrow!

Outside of the above, I plan to just kick back and play the game in-between the hours. Relaxing before the big party tomorrow night and due to my trip to Vegas I will most likely be working Monday and Tuesday morning! So I will enjoy my Sunday the way I usually do!

As always, thanks for reading and riding! All support is greatly appreciated and I thank you in advance!

Day 12 on The road to #TheResumeEP by @WhoIsOSmith

Almost 2 full weeks in and we rollin, rollin, rollin! Last night I confirmed 2 sites with the link for the pre-sale of the EP. Its is currently on +Amazon.com and +iTunes It can be found by searching "The Resume EP" I felt so Awesome (pun intended) when I saw the cover art after searching for it! My first official release is just over a month from being released World Wide. I have been around and in music for 15+ years and have made my share of money and meet great contacts, but I have never put out anything "Official" or to this scale! Excited but I will be more once the actual release date is here!

My +BlogTalkRadio show had @born_revamped on last night and it was a pretty good show. It got intense when the older generation was speaking on how things have changed and they not liking it but the perks of the changes they are all for. Needless to say I was the person to point out change comes with pros and cons. Shouts to +Arrion Moses  +terk linkx and the rest of the crew. If interested you can search Hip Hop at the Round Table.

Sorry about the interjection, I digress, so this morning I have been cleaning up most of my social media sites to get ready for the hopeful traffic they will have between now and forever! Deleted old tracks from +SoundCloud  updated profiles and links on +LinkedIn started selling the single on +ReverbNation began rearranging the videos on +YouTube became more active on +Tumblr I have plans to actually leave tips on my +Foursquare I have been very very active on +Twitter and I have to wait until I am home to situate my +Myspace (yeah I still got one).

I will be posting random videos as well as the teaser throughout the next 2 days and I have a video release party setup at The Office Miami Monday night 12-1-14! I am about to get the campaign started on the tee shirts on +Teespring sometime today and well as get the ball rolling on pushing the single to DJ's and radio stations. All in all, everything is still running smoothly and I'm so grateful!

As always thanks for reading and riding. All support is appreciated. Feel free to comment, like, share, tweet, thumbs up, or whatever option is available to you to assist me, have at it!

Thanks in advance,

Day 11 on The road to #TheResumeEP by @WhoIsOSmith

Hello everyone!

Just a few more days before the release of the Awesome video! For the next couple of days I will be pushing random videos and the video teaser put together by +Noonie Junior I have setup a radio interview with +Misty International on DaGr8FM radio, date TBA soon. I got in touch with a few independent sites about putting my releases on their page, awaiting responses. Getting list together for email blast as well as submissions to radio stations, College, Internet, and Local. Today has been an overall lax day due to the holiday and business not picking back up as it should have but I blame Black Friday lol.

Submitted the final changes for the business cards and should get the results soon so I can get them printed up before the Vegas trip to the +PlayStation Conference. I liked my last design but this new one is pretty sweet so far and its not even finish yet! I have been doing a lot of +Twitter work lately and have some side ventures in place. I have a seat with Hip Hop at the Round Table, along with some fellow Battle Rap fans and Hip Hop heads. +terk linkx +Arrion Moses and a few others join up for discussions on everything from music to current events on a +BlogTalkRadio station that we have setup. For more information check my twitter for links, times, and guest.

All in all Day 11 starts the path to the Awesome Single and Video release! Just a few days away! I am having a party at The Office in Miami this Monday for the video release! If you live in South Florida feel free to come through. There is a discount if you get on the guest list and that information is on a flyer posted on all of my social media sites. Mainly the +Instagram one @WhoIsOSmith.

As always, thanks for reading and riding! All support is appreciated, until tomorrow.

Thanks

Day 10 on The road to #TheResumeEP by @WhoIsOSmith

10 days in and we rollin, rollin, rollin!! Today video was one of my favorite verse's off The Cover Letter Mixtape! I'm also loving the video and how I looked with the hoodie on! Its not that often that I get to wear them living in South Florida! I'm currently at work but posting videos on my various social sites every 30 minutes to an hour. From Twitter to Tumblr and a few sites in between. I got a video release party this Monday at The Office Miami in conjunction with my Day 1 Blaque Girl birthday!

Man I stayed up all night til like 4:30 am playing +Destiny the Game knowing good and well I had a 12 hour shift ahead of me lol. The life of a gamer! I wouldn't trade it for the world though! As far as the music goes all is in limbo due to it being a holiday. I will still post videos and content throughout the day on all my sites. If you are apart of any of them feel free to follow me there! About to start lining up interviews and sites to host the release of the Single and EP. Gotta get my press up!

Awaiting a response from the VEVO team about making changes to the video and what exact changes need to be made. After I calmed down I realized there was no reason to be that mad and I will work the system the way it is setup to be worked. I will have a VEVO version and I will release the first version to people through my youtube channel http://www.youtube.com/whoisosmith Subscribe when you get a chance!

About to get back to this +Criminal Minds marathon I have created! As always thanks for reading and riding. All of your support is appreciated greatly!

Thank you,

Day 9 on The road to #TheResumeEP by @WhoIsOSmith

Hello readers and riders alike, 9 days in and things are close to just the promo phase. I am wrapping up some loose ends with the release of the single and getting the iTunes, Amazon, & other digital stores all setup for EP release date as well as pre-release sales. The barcode has arrived and about to send in the print work for the cover with that on the back. Just booked a show for the release of the Awesome video and as soon as I confirm the setup of stores for pre-sales I will start pumping the single through the channels I have setup and new ones as the come to my attention.

Other than that I am on chill mode. Somewhere between 2 excitements at this moment with the pending release of my first Official track and EP as well as the trip to Vegas for the +PlayStation Conference next weekend. I have been playing destiny heavy the last 48 hours or so and I have been pushing the release of the Official "Awesome" video! I am in a great space and loving every moment.

The second single will be VEVO ready and I plan to flood my channel with video after video due to them not wanting the artist to promote themselves during their footage! I'm still taken aback about that but it is what it is and I should've done more research before I took a trip down that road! Oh well the route is already set and I will drive it how I want (within their limits) I will push everyone that they have!

Once again thanks for reading and riding on this journey! All support is appreciated in advance.

Day 8 on The road to #TheResumeEP by @WhoIsOSmith

So technically its day 9 but I kinda wanted to start writing this earlier but got caught up playing +Destiny the Game on PS4 and it kinda took me away lol. In any event today was a chill type day I didn't do much other than play video games. I got some +Warframe in with my old buddies and then spent the rest of the day on Destiny. So as far as the road trip goes today I got an email from the company I went through to get the VEVO channel setup and they didn't want to give me a refund for what I spent. At first I was ready to go to war bout it but thought about what I spent and what I can do with the opportunity and decided to just hold off on releasing Awesome on VEVO but setting up the next release for the channel. The new video for the day was No Lie RMX and I ran it a few times today, nothing major. All day tomorrow I will be running the new video and might even slide the teaser for "Awesome" throughout the day.

Today was a relax day so it's not much to give y'all. Thanks for reading and I appreciate the support!

No Lie RMX by @WhoIsOSmith

Day 7 on The road to #TheResumeEP by @WhoIsOSmith

So its Day 7 and hit my first snag this morning. It turns out that VEVO has a few restrictions for uploading a video through their channel. Restrictions that I don't care too much for, especially at the level that I am at fan wise. They don't want you to promote yourself at all during the entire video and you can not have any logos of your label, team, faction, affiliates, or anything. So atm its fuck what they talm bout and keeping it moving with my current youtube channel. With that being said I love the video of the day. Its Asylum Muzik produced by my boy Luna from Gaffney, SC and the video was shot and edited by my lil brother +JJ13darealist It goes together pretty well if you ask me but judge for yourself it is on the post prior to this one.

Now that the VEVO this is out of the way its time to focus on building the buzz for the release of the single and video "Awesome". Which is visually stunning by the way. My bro +Noonie Junior shot and edited this one and did an amazing job indeed! The video will be out 12-1-14 and I might drop the song sometime this week! Other than that everything is everything and I'm making moves in the background to make sure all is........Oh man I almost forgot I got the email from BMI this morning on the rest of the registration for the songs on the EP! Beautiful they accepted the first half of the EP within days but the most important songs took them like 2-3 weeks to clear! Its gravy and all is well now.

Shouts to +DittoMusic for having a great support team in the Nashville office because they have been above and beyond helpful throughout this entire process with me. Now I just need to get all of my social sites up to par with whats coming ahead and get some interviews and other outlets on board.

Until tomorrow, thanks for reading and for traveling on this road trip. Like, comment, share, subscribe, tell a friend, retweet, and enjoy.

Day 5 on The road to #TheResumeEP by @WhoIsOSmith

Come on and ease on down, ease on down the road! Day 5 and feeling good right now. My lil brother uploaded a new video of the day! No Worries RMX! I have been posting it periodically throughout the day on my social media outlets and still need to get around to a few more that I haven't been putting any attention on. For instance my soundcloud channel has gotten no love recently but that's about to change. Today brings one of the 6 new/old videos shot in the day right before this journey began! One morning before I had to go to work he and my other brother came up and we shot all of the footage within 3-4 hours and I took off to work while he we to editing! They left while I was at work but forgot to take all of the stuff on the hard drive so he couldn't render it. So the next night I had to bride my other brother into bringing him back up to spend the night and get the work done. So he stayed up last night finishing off the rest of the videos and is still at the house now playing PS4!

Today has been a smooth day at work and I have the next 3 days off and plan to get around to some local bars and clubs to dish out some music. I also need to find some local open mic's spots to get back into performer mode. So far the road trip is going as planned and I will keep you posted with the most information right here on this blog.

I dont remember if I told you all but I am going to Las Vegas the first weekend in December for the PlayStation Conference! I am soooooooo fucking excited about this! I been team sony from the gate and I get a chance to play unreleased games and all kinds of other wonderful opportunities! It is going to be awesome! I am taking some physical copies, flyers, and business cards with me on that trip to network while there! #TheResumeEP will be know worldwide!!!

Well bout to kick back and relax until I get outta work! Until tomorrow or something major happens, thanks for reading and all support is greatly appreciated!

Day 4 on The road to #TheResumeEP by @WhoIsOSmith

So I spent some of last night updating some of the sites that I am on. Its so many and crazy that I have most of them. I have been putting a lot of work into my reverbnation page lately and making some strides. Today on Day 4 I am blasting the So Sophisticated RMX. Just a short 16 I did on The Cover Letter Mixtape. Today I finalized the tracks for the EP, sent in the request for the bar-codes for physical copies, and the ISRC codes for the tracks.

So far its been a busy morning with me making calls to ensure things are in order and having to work. handling it well though, while vibin to some Big Krit! With each day on the road I feel better and better and things fall into place. This weekend I need to work my Facebook and find some venues to add to my schedule on this journey.

I have a trip to Las Vegas during the first weekend in December for a PlayStation Conference and I'm beyond excited. For those of you who don't know I am a major gamer. I mean I have more than 25 years of gaming to brag about! I have owned just about every system sold in the US commercially and still own most of them. I lost a few in a house fire a few years back, but thats for another blog.

I will spend the rest of the day posting my video on the sites that I have access to from here and networking in any way I can. Thanks for taking the time to read.

Day 3 on The Road to #TheResumeEP by @WhoIsOSmith

Hello blog world (I guess),

Today is Day 3 on the journey to my first official release. So far I have blasted my content across every social media site I have and got a lil bit of assistance from some of the people that added/followed me on said sites. Here lately tho I have been feeling some type of way about said followers and people on my "friends" list. I'm not much for being on the social sites all day because I'm more of a gamer and I multitask a lot but the effort that it takes to be on these social media sites is so minuscule. I find it hard to believe that nobody likes my content, I find it harder to believe no one has the time to look at it or hit the "like", "re-tweet", "thumbs up" or "share" button. I find it even harder to believe that no one sees the things that I post. With me being in my feelings about this situation I have started a list of people that are actually supporting me during the "Road Trip" and in some type of way I will find a way to repay them, but oh the wrath I have brewing for the first person who remained ghost during this trip and approaches me on some "Hook me up" or anything to that magnitude, I promise they wont like me afterwards. Call me petty if you want to but I feel this is like football or basketball season and there is a trade deadline. If you aint on the team by the deadline you don't get a ring when we win the championship! (in know that's a stretched metaphor but so!) Oh well now that that's off my chest I'm bout to kick back and finish this shift and continue posting the video of the day!

Thanks for reading!

Work Hard Play Hard RMX by @WhoIsOSmith

The beginning

This is my first time blogging and I'm not really sure how this works. The main reason I got this was to have an additional link under the share button on youtube to share my content! Any tips on how this works (Blogging) will be greatly appreciated.

Now that that's out of the way I am about to release my first official music release on 1-6-15! It will be available worldwide! I have shot the video for the single and the back up track as well as set release dates for them both. I got a tee shirt campaign I am setting up to run along side of the videos and shows! I'm so excited about this because I have been making and putting out music for the last 12-15 years and I have never taken advantage of the business side of it on this scale!

Stay tuned and enjoy the ride on The Road to #TheResumeEP by @WhoIsOSmith
