NEW MUSIC AND CLOTHING ON THE WAY, SHKSND SEEKS COLLABORATORS

I AIM TO BE INDEPENDENT UNTIL THE DAY I DIE

SHOCK NATION (ME) - INDEPENDENT
SHK - INDEPENDENT
SHKSND (SHK SOUND) - INDEPENDENT

NOT A CHANCE IN HELL YOU'LL CATCH ME SIGNING MY LIFE AWAY TO A LABEL

LABELS KILL ARTISTIC INTEGRITY AND CREATIVE OUTPUT FOR THE SAKE OF PROFIT, THEY WANT THEIR ARTISTS - OR SHOULD I SAY SUBJECTS - TO CREATE WHAT THEY DEEM COMMERCIALLY ACCEPTABLE

THAT'S WHY THE LABELS ALWAYS HAVE A&R PEOPLE ON ARTISTS' CASES, THEY WANT TO PROVE THAT A SUCKER IS BORN EVERY MINUTE AND WHENEVER AN ARTIST 'STEPS OUT OF LINE' THEY 'CORRECT THEIR IMAGE' BY WHIPPING THEM INTO BEING A CORPORATE JUKEBOX LIKE THE SUITS WANT THEM TO BE

THEY TREAT MUSICIANS LIKE CLAY WITH HOW THE MAJORS SHAPE THEM INTO WHATEVER IS TRENDING JUST TO MAKE A QUICK BUCK, BIGGEST EXAMPLE IS HOW THEY PICK UP RANDOMS OFF THE STREET AND MAKE THEM INTO THE NEXT BIGGEST SENSATION OVERNIGHT WITH VARYING SUCCESS

HMMM THAT PROCESS SOUNDS FAMILIAR I WONDER WHY

THE SUPPRESSION OF CREATIVITY BY LABELS AND A&R PEOPLE IS A MODERN REPEAT OF WHAT WAS ONCE SEEN IN THE ANTEBELLUM SOUTH

KEEP PUSHING THE NOISE OUT

OWN ALL OF YOUR MASTERS

KEEP YOUR CIRCLE TIGHT

TRUST NO ONE ON THE OUTSIDE BECAUSE IT IS NOT WORTH THE RISK
