Moving to North Carolina to pursue my music career

Posted by Vinstigator - September 22nd, 2008


Last month I made a news post about my music career. This month I'm here to tell you that I'm taking it one step further and I'm now moving to North Carolina! Over there I'm going to have my own studio, so I'll be able to concentrate on my music more. I'm gonna have my own place as well with my new girl. So life is going to be awesome from here on out. Also I talked to Benny Hoffman yesterday on the phone about me being on his upcoming "Benny The Gent" album, which comes out September 2009. In case you don't know, his last album "Listen To My Demo" sold a few thousand copies and he made a pretty good profit off of royalties alone.

And that's pretty damn good for an underground artist. Especially when you consider that Eminem's Slim Shady EP sold roughly 5,000 copies when he was an underground artist. So I'm really excited to be on his sophomore album. Oh and I forgot to mention that he also lives in North Carolina. In fact, he lives pretty damn close to where I live so collaborating with him in the studio will be a much easier task.

Also my friend and fellow recording artist Heatt will be performing at the 2008 Latin Grammy's at the Toyota Center in Houston, Texas on November 13th. I don't know if this is going to be postponed due to hurricane Ike but so far it seems the show is still on schedule. Here is the description they have for this event...

"All of the major industry executives will be in the building to see Heatt perform live. Def Jam, Interscope, Powermoves, and more will be there! This will also be aired on Univision live!"

This is a big opportunity for Heatt and I wish him luck. In case you don't remember, Heatt and I worked on a song together entitled Don't you know I have enemies?. It became a smash hit on the audio portal. It's one of my most bookmarked songs and also the one that has been praised by critics. Basically it's the song that put me on the map in the audio portal. Speaking of audio portal, I will be working with a couple of audio portal artists. Maer808 has been making beats for me lately and they are AWESOME! I told him that once I went mainstream that I would take him with me. He is seriously an underrated artist and needs some exposure.

Well that's basically it for now. My next news post will most likely be in my new house in North Carolina. Everything is packed and I'm now ready to go. I'll probably leave next monday, or maybe even this week. But for the rest of the week I most likely will not have access to a computer since I'm packing that up as well. I just wanna thank everyone for their support and encouragement. Newgrounds has been a great way to promote my music and I look forward to submitting even more songs when they are completed. I have a LOT of songs in the works so expect a lot of good things from me in the near future.

Where will you be living at? I live in North Carolina myself :]

I'm moving to the city of Greensboro

For better or worse, good luck! And try to have fun on the way, ya?

I will definitely have fun on the way. Thanks!

Alright! Nice to hear you're living out your dream. :) Not many people can say they get to go out and cease their destiny like you're doing. I wish you well on your new life down there in North Carolina.

Well when you pop into Newgrounds rest assured you'll always have friends here waiting. :3

Thank you lol1337a! You and a few others have been real supportive of my music career and it has inspired me to continue! And don't worry, I won't forget about you guys no matter how famous I become :)

I've lived on the east coast forever and I say it sucks. Actually just anything between DC and New York and everything between N.C. and Florida.

Congrats yo and sell those records. Hope you get consumed by the life and all you care about is money.

Well I'm not really in this for money, but for passion. I mean I'm not gonna lie, the money's good. But even if I wasn't making any money off of my music I would still continue to make it. Anyway thanks for the comment Thomas!

Well dude, I wish you luck! You gave a big steep.
Also, please remember me when you get famous and if you ever launch a CD I will buy it :)

Wish you luck and have a nice time in North Carolina :)

I won't forget you, trust me. And thanks for saying you'll buy the CD! Tell your friends to buy it as well to help support The Vinstigator :D

i live in NC.

That's cool man. I've noticed quit of few Newgrounders live in NC... myself included!

Nah forget passion, do it for the money. IF 50 cent can have his own video game then why can't you. I mean who wouldn't want a video game made after them that involves a homeless guy who dies, but didn't die, but is really an FBI agent and you end up doing his daughter, and have Slim Shady as a dirty cop, and Tony Yayo running around telling you to steal peoples wallets......

Shut up.......... someone else in this world could have beaten that game.

That would be pretty damn cool if they made a "Vinstigator: Bulletproof" type of game. And you're right about the money. But like I said, even if I wasn't making any money I'll still be making music. Just like how I'll keep making flash animations long after I'm famous. But don't worry, I'll be making some good money off of this music ;)

Don't even make the music. Steal, all the greats do it.

You know honestly, I keep trying to joke around and say things like "sell out" but like an ahole you keep responding with something a serious person who is completely focused on his goals would say.... Eh good job man, proud of ya. But I am messin with ya with the whole sell out thing, but if you get that oppurtunity, DO IT!!!!!!!!!

Are you talking about sampling? I have no problem with sampling, especially if you can improve on the song. But singing the same exact song without changing the lyrics... I just find that pointless. The only song that I actually approved of doing that was "Killing Me Softly" by The Fugees.

But everyone else who has remade an old song without changing the lyrics... I think it's just pointless and a quick way to cash in. But anyway I'm working on a new song entitled "Basic Questions". It's coming out pretty damn good and I'm almost finished with it. I'll let you know when I release it to the audio portal!

My boy Vince bin real busy!! Damn i cant wait to hear the new material from you. Toomany wack ass mumbling rappers sucking all the dick they can to reach front page! LOOOOL!

Well if it isn't my boy Big Bad Lejin! What's up man? Yeah I got a lot of tracks in the works and they're all hot! In fact, some of them can even rival some of the shit on the radio. I've been really busy in the studio as of late and so far everything's going good! Also, can't wait to hear what you got in store for us! Keep making those hits Lej!

Oh so this is what you have been up to lately, finally moved on from flash movies? I haven't heard any of your songs yet, I'm gonna try and listen to one, I'll leave ya a review.

I'm going to continue making flash movies. In fact, I have one in the works right now. I'll let you know when I post it!

No sir the real music/Rap business is here in California...Hence the great Tupac "California love". Yeah come back man we miss ya! I saw pic's of greensboro and It looks sad man. come back to sunny cali. YOu are west covina material. hence you WEST CO songs. Vince belongs here in Cali.

Actually some of the most popular rappers are from the south like Ludacris and Nelly for example. Also I got a travelling job and it is awesome! I'm making 500 a week and they pay for your hotel when you travel. Right now I'm posting this from a suite hotel in Atlanta. There's an indoor pool and everything! So right now I'm living the life. Anyway it's check out time and I got to get back to work ;)

yo man hit me up when you CUM back. I need to tell you something call me. come back asap!

im coming to greensboro and kicking your ass.

I seriously laughed out loud at this comment lol
