Other News:
 | "STONE CIRCULATION" (April 2002) |
Stone Circle are currently putting coming towards the completion of their debut project. Manifest, Nine Lives, Braynz and Mic Concise have put together something definately worth looking out for. More news on that soon come.
| "PIQUE DEPARTS" (March 2002) |
It is with regret that we announce PiQue's departure from the Social Misfits roster. PiQue requested this in an effort to resolve personal dilemna's regarding his musical pursuits and has our full understanding and blessings. He remains committed to being involved in current plus forthcoming Social Misfit projects and our affiliation with him remains fully intact. Meanwhile, he is currently finalising the release of a proposed forthcoming maxi-single he has co-executively produced. We wish him the very best.
| "THE SOCIAL DOCUMENTARY" (JANUARY 2002) |
By now we hope that most (if not all) of you will already have the Social Misfits album in your collection. If not you can now acquire it directly from us through this site - checkout our shop page. Many of you asked us to add this feature so we hope you put it to good use... smile
In the meantime the album is getting widespread love and we are very pleased with all the positive feedback and reviews we have received. Stockists are currently concentrated in within the M25 region but we are busy working to get it beyond that orbital border.
| "WHATS HIS NAME?" (JANUARY 2002) |
We have also been putting finishing touches to Shiesty's long-awaited debut album. The good news is that it is now nearly complete and sounding real tight. Soon as we take care of the post-production and pre-marketing, you will be hearing it - trust!
The album contains a whole heap of freshly recorded tracks and some of his favoured earlier tracks have been revisited (reproduced and/or revocalled). For instance the much-loved "Black Stallions" (as featured on the Social Misfits album) has been vocally reworked and now includes contributions from Da-Essence. Those who heard "Lives & Times" on the cover-mount CD of Hip-hop Connection (HHC) will be pleased to know that this demo-version got re-vocalled and has a fresh mix-down that retains all the qualities of the demo but with additional sparkling highlights.
Amongst the new songs are songs like "Social Misfits Theme" featuring the entire Misfits in a 4 minute track - hot!!. The album title track, "Self Titled (Whats my Name?)" set things-off like a scorcher and his and various self-produced cuts like "You Ain't A Thug" and "Law External" will set your speakers on fire. Guests on this future classic include, Stone Circle, Veganiro, Malarchi, Black Gypsies, Fyza and Mizola of Overseas Edition fame. Its been a long time coming but "The Self Titled Album" hits the street early 2002. Hold tight.

(January 2002)
Firstly hope 2002 proves a good year for you all. As you can see we have kicked into the year with style. Sir Prestige took a minute off the mixing-board to take care of this version so if anything does not work blame him.... smile. On the real, we already know a couple links STILL ain't happening (i.e the sounds and pictures files) like they should but he is working on a solution so do not forget to return later and check out our music in the Sounds page - meanwhile you can check out our music at www.peoplesound.com - and if you like what you hear you can buy directly from us at our Shop page... smile. Meanwhile, we got a few things cooking up right now but its too early to talk about these so come back later and read this space... Lets just say some major discussions are currently underway and we about to step on a whole new plateau. |
