Invest in Nylon Pink’s next album

Leave a reply

The internet is changing the way the music industry works. Bands and artists can now let fans invest in their projects. One band trying this new concept is Nylon Pink featuring Kaila Yu and DJ Shy. Here’s their statement:

After releasing a couple of singles that still are big hits on Myspace, Youtube and iTunes, we feel it’s time to record a full album. The money that we raise will be used for the recording of that album and for the promotion and marketing of the music.

Check out their video Lipsitck. If you want to invest in their album, go here. They just started. So if you want Executive Producer credit on the album, you still got a shot.

Dumbfoundead is giving someone under 18 years old a chance to collabo rate with him. The Grind Time battle MC is providing the beats, but it’s up to you to come up with a creative song with a unique concept. Here’s dumbfoundead’s statement:

I’m fortunate to receive messages from fans all over the world and a lot of them seem to be aspiring musicians so I thought I’d have a contest as a way to give back.
