If you've peeped rock the dub over the last few years, you've seen quite a few posts regarding Che Grand. I consider dude a dope MC, a cat who has made his own lane and, above many of the cats who get major love on the blog tip, needs to be heard. Yet, his 3+ year in the making album, Everything's Good Ugly, is still without release date or proper home. I was doing some backtracking and found a post of his from last week where he speaks on the ills of his life, and is at the point where if this project doesn't get picked up he's pretty much done with trying to make a go at being an emcee in the "career" sense of the word. Which, while some might see this as being a good thing/bad thing kind of deal, would ultimately be a letdown for those of us who a) believe in dude and b) those who don't know shit about dude, but would be willing to pay him to perform/put out music. He mentioned that he might "need more people"...
So I started a petition. Whore it out, sign it, and who knows, maybe it will get peeped by some exec who is willing to take a chance on a dope MC.
Make sure you keep posted to Che's blog, and hit him up on MySpace.
EDIT: Shouts to Meka, BANANACLIPSE, DJ Lowkey and DJ Cable for posting links to the petition.
EDIT: Tanya Morgan's Von Pea posted about the petition, and threw up some ill Che tracks ("Crash" is my shit, had no idea Pea produced that!)...
EDIT: Che's posted about the petition, and challenged you heads out there: 500 signatures, and ZFTP 7 will get dropped. If you know Che, you know that those ZFTP mixes are pretty ill excursions. Get on it!
EDIT: Shouts to THATDUDEDAVE for hitting me with the link to his UN-official Che Grand Mixtape, ver. 3.0, which covers a lot of older Che Grand material. I need to get up on this myself!
