(From the bottom of my heart…)

THANK YOU!

Your DIRECT contributions allow me to keep at it and flourish with this independent artistry! I humbly ask for your generosity here because, unfortunately, the music/entertainment INDUSTRY (like most of big business) still exploits its artists and talent…most large corporations continue to sacrifice people in order to maximize profits. That’s why YOU – the people, the patrons of the arts, the feel-recognize-feel (!) – are the ones I choose to rely on.

For every $1 you give here, I’ll retain 87¢. Compare that to streaming sites (e.g. Spotify, Apple Music, etc.) where they require OVER 4 MILLION streams PER MONTH just for an artist to earn a minimum wage; it’s not sustainable, it’s certainly not fair.

While I support every artist’s decision to operate as they see fit, I believe in maintaining Personal and Artistic Integrity, Expression and Creative Freedom as a Creator (and Human Being!), and refuse to submit and cash-in with content beholden to soulless advertisers, run-of-the-mill corporations and shady special interests.

I push forward as an independent (and interdependent) community enterprise, and I’m an underground MC through and through. This choice/course-of-action compels me to bankroll my operational expenses (including but not limited to – Recording, Licensing, Mixing/Mastering services, Equipment, Graphic design, Video production, Marketing/Promotions, Distribution, Web hosting/services, Online solutions & more) myself and grassroots style, in order to deliver you the highest-quality, substance-driven content you’ve come to expect (and can always count on me for!). What that also means is the moment you decide to DIRECTLY kick me $10 (or any amount!), you are further strengthening my ability to sustain and grow, so that I can better serve you AND our community (*Added bonus – you know exactly where your contributions are going!).

That said, I recognize there are MANY ways to lend your support other than just cold-hard paper (*for example – one of the BIGGEST ways you can support is to sign-on to the PAK-1’s VIP Mailing List if you haven’t already!), but the monies definitely helps – keeping the lights on and the records+videos+messages coming.

So, if you can swing it, please consider making a contribution at this time! But more importantly, please keep vibing with PAK-1 and his artistry, and enjoy the powered-up ride while you’re at it 😀

Always with Love, Light, Appreciation & a Thousand THANKS!
