While K-Murdock is off supporting Japan as part of the "More B.A.R.K..." Tour, you can help us at Neosonic Productions support too via purchasing the release Smooth Talking: Twilight Edition, which K did in conjuncion with Japanese-based label River City Music Entertainment this past Spring.
The album, entirely produced by K, features NEW, exclusives tracks with emcees who have made a name for themselves in Japan like CYNE & Theory Hazit, as well as remixes for groups like Bop Alloy & the Jazz Addixx; There's even a few rare, soulful gems featuring international singers like Wayna Wondwosen & Anya Stewart that have never been available prior to this release.
Most importantly, portions of the sales from this project go to the Japanese Red Cross Society as donations for the disaster relief the country is STILL dealing with! Thank you...
K-Murdock & Random are readying themsleves for their trip to Japanthis week as part of the "More B.A.R.K.

For those that don't know the real missive behind the tour K-Murdock & Random will be taking part in next month, basically all the artists invovled are going to Japan to help reboot their struggling economy that has done so much for US artists- especially those invovled in the nerdcore scene like Ran & K, who are inspired by the video games & anime the country exports! In the coming days leading up to the trip, the fellas are aiming to raise $250 in order to help them with costs such as cabs, trains, etc. Any donation of $20 or more will even get you a souvenir- just let Ran & K know what you want and they'll try to find it; Click on the picture below to donate... thank YOU!
