]]><![CDATA[Our Relationship w/ You is Appreciated!]]>Wed, 15 Mar 2017 21:48:02 GMThttp://www.locustfist.com/news/our-relationship-w-you-is-appreciatedPLEASE READ IN FULL if you Support Our Music & Ministry

Peoples! We need your help. The SOTL crew have been putting in MAD WORK to get music to you. You say you want it... we been giving it!

We are INDEPENDANT artists and RELY completely on YOUR SUPPORT.
-That Means we are Humble People- Wives, Husbands, Parents, with Jobs and Responsibilities - Just like Yourself. It is with great honor that we have been given a 'platform' to create music & share it other people. It is with great Joy that our Hiphop has reached so many people and shared the Gospel in a relevant, impactful way in our music culture!

-That means that we have NO budget to complete these very expensive albums and rely on YOU to buy/financially support what we put out SO WE CAN PUT OUT MORE. Everything we make on these albums goes right back into making more. Studio Equipment is not free - Time Spent on mixing, mastering, perfecting the Songs is not Free - Everything has a Cost Attached to it. Your Financial Support makes sure that we can CONTINUE to do what we do. It simple Mathematics, and we Thank you for your Support!

-That means we have NO promotional funding and rely on YOU to promote what we are doing. We have been told that with no promotion from a 'major label' we will never get this music out to the masses. But a short look at human history will say that is wrong. EVERY REVOLUTION STARTED on 'THE STREETS'. Jesus Christ was not signed to a major label. In fact the 'major' players of His time tried to shut his 'album' down BUT the word of mouth promotion he received from his 'fanbase' caused His ministry to go worldwide to this day! YOU are our Promotional team and we appreciate that!

You are our BEST Bet!

If you have NOT bought the newest releases from the SOTL crew, please take a listen and do so if you like what you hear.

If you HAVE purchased the releases... PLEASE share the music and availability info with others in your circle of friends & fam.
​
We LOVE you guys and make Rap for YOU!
What we need from You, honestly, is to BUY the music we create and SHARE it with others.
And KNOW that you are appreciated for being our support and Promotional Team.
We wouldn't have it any other way! Locust is US!

Our goal is always to make music that encourages people toward Godly-Living and your financial & promo support goes a LONG way to insure that we can keep doing so.
Thank you for your Support!

from Jeremiah DIRT: I went into the Qumran Cave Studio today after my early morning meditations and there He was. He was posted upon the window curtain like a sentinel guarding a host of gems. And I immediately understood what treasure he was watching over. In that same studio is the master sessions to Shadow of the Locust's upcoming album, "a Mighty Army Cometh". I knew the Locust on the window shade was there as an oracle to tell me it is time to finish what had begun.....
