Pretty cool. A fan lent it to me last year. I didn't even know it existed.i bet more fans would dig if they knew!

I ironically just started shipping all orders placed in the last week or so today; I use stamps.com and was waiting on mailing supplies and ink cartridges to come in! But your order will be arriving this unless u are international, then customs can vary but its coming no doubt!

Yes I did! Early voted Friday as I knew I would be out on tour on E-Day!

Awesome, we should talk! Best way to reach me directly with these kind of inquiries is via the contact page on my site- http://neosonicprod.com
Please hit me up there so i can give you some pricing ;)

As of now, who knows... i would love to collaborate with Raheem & Wes again, they gave me my start initially, so keep the faith and believe me, i'll make it known if there's a proper part 3!

Yes, ironically i just tweeted earlier that I'll be doing a run with ran in 2 weeks from 11/4 - 11/17, not sure if MO is on the tour schedule, but we are still filling in a few dates ;) That Race Wars tour was epic... what a run, we had a blast meeting everyone on the road!

Yes, its happening, rest assured, We are in talks with some people to make it BIG! Look for an update from us before's month's end! but the plan is for it to drop by Spring of next year ;)

Thanx for asking about iMANGANation 2... its been on a my shortlist for awhile, i will be dropping it next year, it'll be FREE and focus more beats using samples from my fave anime series & movies + some sound clips of course! As for Panacea, we will be working on new music in between myself & Raw Poetic's solo/side affairs, we got some tricks up pour sleeves ;)

If you are referring to the little sound before the beat changes, its from Street Fighter 2010 if i recall, as is the loop that comes in for the second half of the song. Ironically, a lot of the other sound effects come from other games- i.e. Street Fighter 2 ;)

1. A Tribe Called Quest - Midnight Marauders
2. De La Soul - De La Soul is Dead
3. The Flaming Lips - Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots
4. Anita Baker - Rapture
5.Nujabes - Modal Soul

For hip-hop, A Tribe Called Quest - Midnight Marauders, for non-hip-hop... I'll go with The Flaming Lips Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots, that album sonically is beautiful!

Awesome, thank you so much! Feedback keeps me going and I'm glad those listening are enjoying ;)

Great question. Outside of @rawpoetic & @megaran as they are both very dynamic and always keep me sharp & intrigued, I say Lupe Fiasco, Blueprint, Phonte, Edan & Doom are some cats who stay pretty progressive & are always evolving thus keep me interested.

Nope. No formal training. All by ear but I do plan on taking actual lessons as I want to become more versatile & not always rely on talented friends who are traditional musicians.

Working on iMANGANAtion Vol. 2 this summer but more immediately will be a FREE instrumental EP I'm doing with @TheFindMag end of the month called "Beats From The East"

Sorry for the delay, must of missed this, i would say i regards to your question, hmm... maybe a mixing issue as i never had issues with the audio sounding different before & after upload to Soundcloud. if it doesn't sound different before, i would say try uploading using another browser but i suspect it could be something in your mixes, try turning down the kicks or using or compressor so they still punch but don't distort. Hope that helps!

Thank you for the compliments! Funny that album came out over 2 years back & people are still discovering it. A great feeling & glad we made it free so it's easier for more to discover.
