TO EVERYONE KEEPS ASKING WHERE MY MUSIC WENT, WHY RANDOM ALBUMS HAVE BEEN TAKEN DOWN AND WHEN IT’S COMING BACK TO DSPS, I WISH THE DISTRIBUTERS WHO REMOVED IT WERE AS INTERESTED IN ANSWERING THAT QUESTION AS YOU ALL ARE ASKING IT.
OVER THE PAST FEW MONTHS DISTRIBUTORS HAVE TAKEN DOWN RECORDS IV'E MADE AND RELEASED YEARS BEFORE AI WAS EVEN AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC. ALL THOSE RECORDS CLEARLY HAVE RELEASE DATES, APPARENTLY THE PEOPLE REVIEWING THEM DON’T CARE OR HAVE THE TIME TO DIFFERENTIATE.
I’VE SPENT COUNTLESS HOURS AND SLEEPLESS NIGHTS WORKING NON-STOP & BUILDING THIS CATALOG AND AT THIS POINT TO MUCH TIME HAS BEEN WASTED MONTHS WAITING FOR ANSWERS. MY LOVE FOR MY MUSIC AND THE RESPECT I HAVE FOR EVERYONE WHO LISTENS AND SUPPORTS DESERVES MORE.
IT’S EXHAUSTING TO HAVE YOUR WORK TAKEN FROM YOU THEN BE EXPECTED TO POLITELY WAIT FOR ACCESS TO IT, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOUR NOT A BIG ARTIST & HAVE TO DEAL WITH THESE COMPANIES GIVING US PENNIES AND ARE STILL GETTING DECIDING WHETHER YOUR MUSIC BELONGS ON THEIR PLATFORMS WHEN WE THE ARTISTS ARE WHAT THEIR BUSINESS IS BUILT ON.
I CAN’T GIVE YOU A DATE FOR WHEN THEY’LL GET BACK TO ME BUT I CAN GIVE YOU SOMEWHERE ELSE TO LISTEN.
BUILT MY OWN DSP.
EVERYTHING I’VE EVER MADE TILL NOW AND ALL FUTURE RELEASES, REMASTERED BY ME IS LIVE NOW. THE APP IS AVAILABLE ON IOS NEW UPDATES, BUILDS & ANDROID VERSION IS COMING SOON.
THANK YOU FOR STILL ASKING WHERE THE MUSIC IS. I INTEND TO KEEP THE ANSWER IN MY OWN HANDS.

私の音楽がどこへ行ったのか」「なぜランダムなアルバムが削除されたのか」「いつDSPに戻ってくるのか」と繰り返し尋ねてくださる皆さんへ。削除したディストリビューターたちが、皆さんがその質問を投げかけるのと同じくらい、その答えに興味を持ってくれたらいいのにと思います。
ここ数ヶ月、���ィストリビューターたちは、AIが一般に公開される何年も前に私が制作・リリースしたレコードを削除してきました。それらのレコードにはすべて明確なリリース日が記載されていますが、審査担当者はそれを気にも留めていないか、区別する時間すらないようです。
私はこのカタログを構築するために、数え切れないほどの時間と眠れない夜を費やし、休むことなく働き続けてきました。しかし、この時点で、回答を待つために数ヶ月もの時間が無駄に費やされてしまいました。私の音楽への愛、そして私の音楽を聴き、支えてくださるすべての方々への敬意は、それ以上の扱いに値するはずです。
自分の作品を奪われた挙句、その作品へのアクセス権を得るために礼儀��しく待たされるのは、本当に疲れることです。特に、大物アーティストでもないのに、こうした企業からわずかな報酬しか受け取れず、しかも「自分の音楽が彼らのプラットフォームにふさわしいか」という判断をまだ下している最中であるのは、本当に疲れる。私たちアーティストこそが、彼らのビジネスの基盤なのだから。
彼らがいつ返答してくれるか、具体的な日程は言えませんが、代わりに聴ける場所を一つご紹介します。
独自のDSPを構築しました。
これまでに制作したすべての楽曲と、今後リリースされるすべての楽曲(私がリマスターしたバージョン)が、現在公開されています。アプリはiOS版で利用可能で、新しいアップデートやビルドが提供されています。Android版も近日中にリリース予定です。
「音楽はどこにあるの?」と今も尋ねてくれてありがとう。その答えは、今後も私自身が握り続けるつもりです。
Discordに参加して、アプリの最新情報や最新バージョンを入手してください。アプリを作っている人が多すぎて、Appleのアップデート配信には時間がかかりすぎるからです。

man. Sway was my absolute GUY! This Is My Demo should be in museums. That tape was the soundtrack to life in secondary school. Rest up man, what a hero. Long Live Sway Dasafo ❤️
Had the honour of exec producing the visualisers for Bellah’s Critical Condition and Burning Desires from her ‘State Of Emergency Vol. 1’ EP. ‼️

My short film, Supernigga, got rejected every major festival but got 400k views on YouTube organically in a month and had A24 and hella studios begging to make the feature. Moral of the story is there is no one path for all. I choose the internet over festivals.
Record labels never want to spend money on music videos because they cut down on immediate profits, but it's short term thinking. In the long run, an iconic music video provides cultural framework for an artist's longevity. Capturing them in their prime gives future audiences a way to experience the song through the performer at their best. Yes you can hear the songs whenever you want, but watching Michael zombie dance to Thriller or Britney naked with diamonds to Toxic are experiences that make those songs come alive decades after they dominated airplay. The artist has time traveled to future generations (this is why quality matters). There aren't many record companies that are patient for that kind of pay off, because there aren't many record execs who have that long of a shelf life anymore. Everyone has to answer to the next quarter but the artist and their music has to answer to forever.
His dickhead antics aside for one second someone who’s life revolves around Reddit Uk drill page hasn’t heard K Trap ft DoRoad Youngs Teflon - RRR ? Yeah right man
TLR’s made some valid points over the years about rappers cosplay-ing etc, but saying “I’ve never listened to a Youngs Teflon song in my life” is just ignorance 😭 even hinting his 100k views might be fake is crazy
He’s been putting in 17+ years with real bangers 😂 a UK Goat 🐐
ppl really just wanna feel good and that period felt good, a lot of memories and nostalgia and wavey songs... some low hanging fruit too but some real timeless riddims
the way i lived the barfest era and saw them uni parties evolve into vehices for what became uk afroswing, same people partying became artists and consumers to a movement we created in real time ... that was wavey. what a time.
so the culture didn’t die if it’s respawning into these new genres u mention then?
maybe i missed it but i think u lack the insight on how afroswing impacted afrobeats before the piano era
uk ppl devalue their own creations too much, whilst the rest of the world is inspired.
a lot of music is now a competition on who can be the most ‘authentic’ or ‘real’ or ‘vulnerable’ . but sometimes the biggest emotional truth is just in music that can make u feel powerful and swagged out . it doesnt happen a lot lately . so important for music to make u FEEL COOL
I’ve never seen the whole community collectively celebrate a Grammy win the way we all just reacted to @durandbernarr which is really a testament to someone being so deserving of recognition. Congrats! & Congrats to all the other well-deserved winners and nominees!!! 🥳🎉
