yeah

last year I did a jawn, I pressed about 65 copies and probably sold about 40 of them, the rest I gave away and stuff, okes told me they would pay me later, never happened.

But I was pretty amped,

I gotta admit though, about 15 of those were friends, the rest was like schoolmates people I just got talking to and stuff.

I wished I had pressed more, but I was broker than a mofo. Now I don´t really want to press it anymore. I´ll do another one some time.

We platinum in Grahamstown 8-)
And that´s not including customers (and those that just happen to have a copy of one of our mixtapes) in the rest of S.A., Zambia, Zim, Peru, NY, UK.
Just a matter of time. Just a matter of time.

U gotta be clear homes which ones you´re pressing to sell and which ones are for promo (for free). Don´t get that right and u´re cashflow will be a problem man, especially with them credit sales!! But props to all those on the hustle.

Private message me your address man, & we send something for your show. Or, yahoo just upgraded to 100MB storage & 10MB msgs could email u mp3 versions to convert. Strictly exclusives for the show dogg!! Not to sell and pay rent or something! :-D

Thats because about every kid in Germany is stinking rich(compared to developing nations) and this is the second largest market for black music next to the US.

But 150 000 is still a lot. I dont think even the big guns contantly have those numbers. The sales are going down here though like US due to downloading and stuff. I heard some kid was fined about ?2000 for using kazzalite!

have to be careful :-o

How many copies did Maximum sentence push cause that was dope and I´m looking for a copy.

Who is bushman by the way?

Bushman, some cat i met at the watering hole claims alot....

the maximum sentence was hot....but i think the mastering needs a good ear coz some of the vocals were not standing out...especially on x-rates verses...

yo..i heard non phixion sold like 300 000 world wide....its a big hustle selling without proper funding....

need money to make money.....

yeah doe this joint have a top 10 list...for most downloaded tracks....

how is cashless doing....
