Presented by 2dopeboyz & KevinNottingham–the wait is over, HPM is finally here! These two fellows put in a lot of hard work (no pun intended) into this project and those of us who have been able to witness its culmination are excited the masses get to experience it for themselves. This album has a song for the ladies, the go-to-church song, the cause-some-trouble record– something for everyone. Features from Dae One, Noni Spitz, El Prez, Prophit & more!
Also, as you may be aware, putting together an independent album costs alot of $$$. For those who want to support this project in monetary terms and allow us to continue to do what we do, feel free to purchase a digital copy of the album on our bandcamp site: www.HawdwerkJansportJ.bandcamp.com
To quote Jansport J: “Pow”
