14KT – “Five & Ten” (Video)
September 5, 2013
14KT declares that this is straight from the heart; straight from head to mouthpiece into the mic for the most part. “Five & Ten” is the first track off 14KT’s album – “Nickel & Dimed” – which is what he is tired of being.
“I wrote this off of the frustration of releasing instrumental projects in my profession. I’ve been approached/treated MANY times in very unprofessional and disrespectful ways. I wanted to be a voice for all of my producer peers who deal with this frustration and to serve as a notice for up and coming producers/beat makers.”
Message! Respect the beat architect (aka the beatmaker). Check out the visuals for “Five & Ten.” Animation by James Reitano and TFU Studios.
