Who favorited?Ras Kass Looking For Donations From Fans To Release New Album
by on February 19th, 2010
West Coast Hip Hop veteran Ras Kass has announced that he is the final stages of recording his still untitled upcoming LP.
Ras will be looking for help from his fans to put the album out. The studio time for the album has already been paid for from proceeds from his previous release The Quarterly. Kass will look to the fans for financial support to help produce the physical CDs of the album as well as 500 vinyl records.
With the help from fans of his music, the West Coast MC hopes to raise $3,800 in the next 2 months. Depending on the amount of money donated by each person, Ras Kass will give an incentive for the donation. Fans who donate $15 or more will receive a hard copy of the album, as well as their name published on Rass Kass’ website Savetheraskass.com.
Individuals who donate $1,000 or more will receive a limited edition set of lyrics to Nature of the Threat, handwritten by the rapper, a signed copy of the CD, a vinyl press of the new album, limited edition t-shirts, a phone call from Kass, a special producer credit on the album, as well as a shout out, and to top it off, for the fans who pledge a $1000 plus will get free entrance to any Ras Kass show this year.
As of this time, there is no official release date for the untitled project, but Ras is hoping for a spring release.

This nigga need money for an album, and on top of that, isn’t even all that relevant. I thought I heard it all………
Look at it this way, if your a true Ras fan either you: donate $15 get a hardcopy of the album, and help out one of your favorite artists out who used the money he made from his last album to bring this one specifically for you, OR you sit around and wait, hoping he gets enough money to press hardcopy’s of the album, and if that does happen then you go down to the nearest record store and spend $15 buying the album anyways.
The $1000 donation is pretty ridiculous though, anybody who donates that is either stupid as fuck or the biggest Ras dickrider ever.
put me down for $2000 lmfaoo
means if you owe ten dollas you aint givn me 9… wtf
HaHaHaHa
I think he’s being smart about this, it’s a new way to “promote” an album. And think about it, he can easily raise more that $3K, I mean thats a drop int he bucket to some of the people he’s worked with in the past. This smells like a business ploy, how are we to know how much he actually raised?
my questiion is what is wrong with his hair in that pic? looks like a really short duke…lol
