"THE CONN-VICTION TAPES" UPDATE!! TUNE IN CT!


I have been working on "The Conn-viction Tapes" project for a little over 2 months, this is what has been accomplished so far... I wanted to show how much grind something like this takes and how many people are involved to pull it off. Please show your support!

What is "The Conn-viction Tapes"?
"The Conn-viction Tapes" is a Connecticut based album entirely produced by SeeS that will feature a different Connecticut artist in collaboration with SeeS on each track. The album is presented by CT Corporate Takeover and upon completion will be streamed online for free and be available for free download on various sites including SoundCloud and DatPiff. The recording process will be documented including videos, photos, and promotional tracks leading up to the release in early 2015.

What has been accomplished so far?
- First was the idea, concept and name, which was quickly followed by graphic artwork by Jeff Michaud of Chosen Media.
- Then I began first with the artists I knew personally and locked them into the project. Shout out to Theo Manchyld, High Priest, and Rassko Lean.
- As the buzz began to pick up I created the "Introduction Letter" and the artist contracts for appearances on the project. Shout out my lawyer, Joe Becker.
- As more artists reached out to me about the project I could see the momentum building and Chosen Media created the poster you see above and a layout for T-shirts. I had the T-shirts made at Novel Tee's in Manchester and the Posters printed by Vista Print.
- I then met with a few more artists in CT and arranged listening sessions in which I showed them beats I made and choose which tracks artists would appear on. Shout out Deedz, Williano, and Splat 860.
- I was then invited to be a guest judge at two showcases in CT in which I promoted the project, and networked with more artists from the state.
- The first "Conn-viction Tapes" studio session was with High Priest, followed by another session shortly after with Theo Manchyld and Rassko Lean. (Promo video of studio session below)
- Splat860 and I recorded his track in the Splat Cave!  
- Then I created the webpage for the project on my official website, www.seeshiphop.com!
- I then had more beats to make and more listening sessions with artists individually to lock them into the project. Shout out Millz, Chizzle Rose, General P, Twiin, Arkatex, Tripsup
- Would also like to shout out the promoters in CT I have met with and have been involved in various ways over the last few months. Shout out Mic on Deck, El Vee, Chris Vaina, and Gold.

Artists that are officially accepted on "The Conn-viction Tapes" project.
Theo Manchyld, High Priest, Rassko Lean, Chosen, Williano, Splat860, Millz, Chizzle Rose, General P, Twiin, Arkatex, Tripsup, Deedz and more coming soon.

If you are an artist in CT and want to participate in this project contact me on Facebook or email me at seeshiphop@gmail.com

This is what it takes to put a project like this together and we are not even half done.  Besides countless hours making beats, working with artists, writing verses, attending events, posting artists on my blog, and recording with artists, it also takes the support of the artists involved and the support of the state. I ask of you to please help spread the word, tell your friends, stay tuned, and do what you can to make this project a major success. Failure for this to be one of the biggest projects ever released in the state is NOT AN OPTION.

Check out the first promotional song and video for the project below. Much more coming soon!!
