No big point explosion like is sometimes seen but Alluswe has been steadily moving up on thesixtyone.com. The R&B genre doesn’t seem to move as quickly as some other genres on the site.
The numbers:
Currently sitting with 72 points, 13 playlist adds, and placing at #39 of 61 R&B artists. There’s a big jump in points after #36 and a couple of other tiers as you go up. Alluswe is aiming to crack the next tier.
As far as ‘activity’ goes, Alluswe places 5 songs in the top 30 for R&B (Note: talking about ‘activity’, not points). Last week’s activity chart was crazy with 5 Alluswe songs in the top 6.
Out of the band’s songs, “So Good” currently has the most bumps
Fermented Spirits is a band/project that we (myself and HajiHaj of Dumhi fame) started about 4 years ago. We started working on Demystification at that time. Demystification features guest appearances from Houston emcee Soulbrotha, Flud (dumhi, Imperial Poets), Monica Stephenson, and Von Pea and Donwill of Tanya Morgan.
We each had a number of things going on in life and other musical projects, but after many starts and re-starts, the project has now been pressed up. Here it is, in its entirety, for free. It’s also available for purchase on iTunes and Amazon if you’re inclined to show your support in that way. There are also physical copies available (see artwork below). I don’t want to fill up this blog entry with detail after detail, but….if you’d like to know more, please stop by the Fermented Spirits Myspace page.
And most importantly, I would love for you to comment on the music (good, bad, whatever)!
