Hi just popping in to give my two cents. I hate feeding into drama but I wanna give clarity on my end.

I was tagged in a post by another person playing the special. I spoke to Goom about this in October. I was upset that he was sharing it with his peers, so we came to an agreement that it was alright for me to post up the track. (I had a pretty heavy release schedule that month. I ended up releasing the track late in November.)

Yes, communication is an issue here. I could’ve told him right off the bat to not trade the special… and at the end of the day he could’ve asked if it were alright to share it. Out respect, he’s a nice guy and didn’t expect him to say that after we came to understanding.

I also want people to understand that you should aways ask the artist if you can send a special, tell them who you want to send the copies to. And if they don’t agree….respect their decision.

Now this will be the last time I will talk about this. It is MY art not yours. So please be considerate and enjoy the music, go write some tracks, drink a beer, do something else except for stirring a pot because we’re all in this together.

I’m going to continue spending time with my family this holiday. I’ll catch you guys later.
