MIXTAPE: Getting Hit By Cars & Still Living... Literally

Here it is... Illest Rhyme Droppaz - Getting Hit By Cars & Still Living... Literally

Released Saturday, February 27th, to coincide with the fundraiser for our bud Greg Welch, who was hit by a car & suffered several life threatening injuries. We already sold physical copies, with all proceeds going towards the cause. With help from a lot of others, we were able to raise over $11,000. Special thanks to Wendy Scimeme, Kristen Anderson, and everyone else that helped out with the fundraiser!

Some words from the Cap'n...

In support of our friend Greg Welch, the IRD crew has brought together a compilation of songs that represents Greg's traumatic experience, his struggle against sustained injuries, and his "never quit" attitude that will bring him a bright future. The first song "I Can Not Wait" is a celebration song of anticipation and hope of Greg returning to his home in Stony Brook and to be around his family and friends. "Remember Back in the Day" is another feel good track to remind us of the craziest party in our high school history, WelchFest (I'm sure you remember how awesome that was or... maybe not). "The Journey" and "Phoenix Rising" represent Greg's battle with life threatening injuries and his fight to live a normal life. "Get Wild" and "FuNkHoUsE" provide some more party music to celebrate Greg's life and all the joy he brings to us. "Dreams" ft. Lanni G (which will be on the new album, THE FETUS) is an uplifting song with a strong message to make your dreams become reality. This fits Greg's story so well because doctor's told him he had only 48 hours to live, he lived. Doctor's said his arm was going to have be amputated, he kept the arm. Doctor's said he may never leave a wheelchair, he's walking today. Greg's determination and this song should be motivation to help anyone achieve their goals. Finally "Dare to Be Great" is an instrumental for those people who aren't satisfied with being average and taking risks to do something great for this world. The beat provokes thoughts of going beyond your limits to achieve something never thought imaginable. That is where Greg is, because after beating the Grim Reaper in a knockout, drag em out war, you can only imagine the successes he will have in his future. The other tracks are just great music and help guide the album along fluidly. This project came together on very short notice, but I hope you enjoy "Getting Hit By Cars & Still Living... Literally". Use this music and Greg's story as inspiration to beat the struggles of life and enjoy the beautiful moments as well.

One Love,
CPT.
