Melvin2011 was a good year for me. I grew as an artist and a person. I visited a lot of places that I’ve never been and pushed myself to be something greater. I’ll never feel like I did enough, but looking back I did do a lot. Whether you’ve been following me since Soundtrack to Greatness or just heard of me the other day, sit back and relax as I break down my favorite moments from this year.
NO GAME 7 VIDEO
This was my 1st video I had ever done and the 1st time people had heard from me in awhile. It was kind of like a reintroduction.
Dee Goodz – Gotta Have It from CASSO on Vimeo.
This video got A LOT of burn on some of the most popular blogs in the internet world. (2dopeboys, OnSmash, AllHipHop, HipHopDx) The fact that I produced the track and got so much recognition really helped to push my brand.
TMTE LISTENING PARTY
This really helped to propel TMTE and generate a buzz for the project. We had a lot people to come through and show love and everybody had a good time! Shouts to the good folks over at Phatkaps for opening up the spot and letting me use it.
