UPDATE 1.01
A blog post regarding certain future songs
We have some good news and bad news. The good news is this:
- We have located several more songs from the session that will be uploaded soon.
- We are working on improving the website's design and functionality.
The bad news is this:
- Due to the controversial nature of some of the content, we may face legal challenges in uploading certain songs.
- Some songs may take longer to upload than anticipated due to quality issues with the original recordings. This may result in some songs being edited or removed entirely.
We are stating this as some of the artists involved have since cut ties with Ebanks and the world renowned artist due to various controversies.
We had a case a while ago where one of these artists, specifically the Great Cow Father, had an issue with us uploading one of the few songs he had a feature on due to a falling out between him and Ebanks.
His verse was recorded during a complex situation, so he asked us to not upload, or at the very least shorten or edit out his verse from the song as he wishes to not deal with what he went through during that time.
We are trying to respect the wishes of all artists involved while still providing as much content as we can.
Thank you for understanding.
And without further ado, I'm pleased to announce the following upcoming songs:
- "Farm On The Hill" - The Great Cow Father, featuring Ebanks. The session took place the night before a significant event.
- "ALL FOR THE TAKING" - A dynamic trap song by Ebanks, featuring The Great Cow Father as well as a hidden feature who we won't disclose just yet.
- "08152022 Give Me A Reason" - A heartfelt solo song by Ebanks. This was recorded in the early hours of the morning, approximately 2 AM.
P.S. According to another sound engineer involved with the session, additional recordings continued after Give Me A Reason. The session wrapped up around 3:30.
See you in a few weeks!
UPDATE 1.02
"Where's the next couple of songs?"
I decided to address this question since we've received multiple inquiries via email asking about this, as well as some other related questions which I'll address below.
Initially, the next batch of songs were supposed to come out on New Years Eve or New Years day, but we've had some circumstances preventing us from meeting that deadline:
- For starters, the Great Cow Father reconsidered his position and requested that we edit out his verse completely or not upload "ALL FOR THE TAKING", after learning we planned on releasing the full verse anyways
- We are currently in a dispute with Ebanks regarding "08152022 Give Me A Reason" (we will refer to this as 08152022 for simplicity). Ebanks has requested that we remove this one as it's very personal.
- The hidden feature on "ALL FOR THE TAKING" also reached out to ask for their part to be trimmed or edited out. We are currently working to come to a compromise with them.
As you can see, releasing songs that may not even make it to streaming services is not our highest priority at the moment.
When will the next songs come out then?
We appreciate your patience as we work through these various challenges and will provide updates as soon as possible.
UPDATE 1.1
"Bump & Grind (Ebanks Mix)" IS NOW AVAILABLE
Check out the new version of "Bump & Grind" featuring Ebanks' unique twist!
We wanted to give you something while we work on the rest of the songs. Here are some status updates:
- Regarding "ALL FOR THE TAKING": We are currently working on a compromise with the Great Cow Father to get this song out, though negotiations are ongoing.
- After extended discussions, Ebanks has agreed to let us release "Give Me A Reason". However, he requested that we include a warning label on it.
- The hidden feature has decided to allow us to keep their feature, however they've asked for us to NOT reveal who the artist is. It will remain a mystery for now.
With that said, we're still working on the rest of the songs and will update you as soon as we have more information.
Oh, and before I go, we've included a surprise video in the songs section... check it out!
Update 1.1.1
Minor Improvements
"Bump & Grind" wasn't in the state I initially intended when I uploaded it.
I went back into the FLP to fix that, so it should sound how I wanted it to now.
Additionally, the video should now be accessible.
Update 1.2
THE NEHEMIAH PACK, PT. 1
It is with great pleasure to announce the release of the Nehemiah Pack, featuring new songs and exclusive content!
Here's what you can expect from the Nehemiah Pack:
- 4 new songs; These songs include:
- "NEHEMIAH", a song about Ebanks's current life status with help from a very special guest.
- "Farm on the Hill", from The Great Cow Father featuring Ebanks. It's taken some time since we announced it would be coming as we had to make some last-minute changes.
- "It Seems Like You're Ready", a cover of the original song by R. Kelly. This is a cover that holds special meaning to Ebanks, and he was happy to let us include this.
- "INTERNET", a song originally intended for Ebanks's sophomore album but was cut due to time constraints.
- Exclusive content, such as a special video for each song in the pack and transcripts from interviews with the artists involved in the pack.
We are very excited to share this pack with you and hope you enjoy the new songs and exclusive content!
Though, there is one thing...
What is it?
We aren't quite done with Farm On The Hill and INTERNET yet, they still need some finishing touches. NEHEMIAH and It Seems Like You're Ready, however, are complete and ready.
