Young Scolla – “Built For It” (Prod. SMKA)

1.

Young Scolla meets SMKA is the new album from Detroit based artist Young Scolla and producers SMKA. All of Scolla’s mixtapes from Sign Of Greatness: Tale Of Barack Scobama to his latest Built For More: Journey To Tears & Triumphs have been high quality and he is set to be one Detroit’s top artists of 2011. SMKA and Scolla are doing something a little different with this album as well. I’ll let them explain this part.

We are attempting to do something fairly unique in independent hip-hop. To date, we haven’t seen the hip-hop community embrace, or even really attempt, to use crowd funding as a platform to create an album. Possibly too many MCs are focused on getting signed, or breaking a single on the radio, instead of trying to build a fan base and monetize their brand/music. Hip-Hop artists across the US are trying to make a living making music, but very, VERY few have been able to turn their passion into profit. We see Kickstarter as an opportunity to create a high-quality album without the necessity of a label or sponsorship. If successful, we also hope to show other independent hip-hop artists an alternative path, outside of labels and sponsors.

Support a new brand of hip-hop, even if it is only $2. All the money is going to a good cause. Plus some of the deals they have for donations are pretty good. Donate to Young Scolla Meets SMKA here.
