Earlybird CD Order at Kunaki (READ BEFORE ORDERING)
Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album
As opposed to a pre-order option, I've decided to allow any purchasers to order this product directly from my manufacturer until my personal CD stock arrives. There are 2 ways you can do this:

1. You can order the album directly from the Kunaki website at the following link:
kunaki.com/sales.asp?PID=PX00ZZT5YE&pp=1

This will give you numerous shipping options worldwide. You can also choose to download the album for free if you don't wish to wait until the CD arrives to hear it.

2. You can order on Bandcamp and I will use the shipping and email address associated with your Bandcamp profile to ship the product to you directly from the manufacturer. I will ONLY use the site's economy shipping rates to send the product. You will receive the digital album instantly using this option.

The CD design offers an art rendition of a Japanese Obi Strip (not an actual strip, just part of the artwork as an ode to record collectors as the Break the Pattern series is catered towards diggers). CDs are shrink wrapped in a Jewel Case with full color printing.

*Please note, I CAN NOT sign any of the merchandise available through this earlybird offer. Once I have my hands on stock, I will be willing to sign merch and throw in stickers.

about

This is the second installment in the Break the Pattern series, which was intended to take a different approach towards the release of free digital Hip Hop. For the Ayers Apparent Beat Tape, I decided to try my hand (and ear) at remixing some of the many jewels in the Legendary Roy Ayers' catalog.

This project is intended to pay homage to a fixture in the world of Hip Hop sampling. Roy Ayers' remarkable catalog is indeed Ubiquitous. This instrumental project finds LEX718 (my alter-ego) hunting down and re-visioning some loops you may have heard re-used on some of your favorite Hip Hop and R&B records as well as some music from this very deep catalog you may have yet to hear flipped.

You can rap to these if you please (hell, I may rap to a few of these myself), but this is intended to be listening music. This is my admiration of Mr. Ayers' catalog spilling over into your digital libraries. This will be my final instrumental release of 2017.

One Love.
