Dear Cancer & Death, 
Fuck you.

Sincerely,

Interview with SYFFAL

Here is an extremely serious in depth interview I did with the homies at SYFFAL. And by “extremely serious in depth”, I mean utterly foolish, unserious, and shallow. Enjoy!
Cryptic One interview

Listen/purchase(free) Crypstramentals Volume 5: Lost Tracks (2002-04) by Cryptic One

To those that peeped the album, much much thanks peoples.  Been so long since Ive released anything Im not sure what constitutes a good opening day these days plus its my first digital only release, but making the front page of bandcamps “hip hop best selling digital” releases cant be too bad of a thing.  Pretty humbling to see all the people that made the choice to pay for an album thats free.  Surely wasnt expecting that at all. Thanks to the few blogs that picked it up without me pushing it to them.  Literally did zero promotion outside of social media and even that promotion was thin at best.  If you can even call it promotion. Transitioning back to releasing music after 9 years away from it is pretty strange, especially when the release is such old material, and even more so since the landscape of releasing music is so different this day and age.  Response has been good so far, cant wait to actually put some truly new music out there. Have a few interviews lined up, and a few reviews on the horizon so stay tuned for those TRUTH INSTRUMENTALS

TRUTH

INSTRUMENTALS

Its tuesday eh? Another unused beat from a decade ago #throwawaytuesdays

a little early… but its here

the album that was lost, now is found:

http://crypticone.bandcamp.com/album/truth-whole-truth-half-truths-lies

and the instrumentals

http://crypticone.bandcamp.com/album/crypstramentals-volume-4-truth

details as promised… tl;dr

to prevent myself from getting too long winded (yeah right)… i bring you bullet points mofos! (long winded bullet points, but whatevs, deal)

  • Truth: Whole Truths, Half Truths, & Lies album drops next tuesday 4/23
  • Crypstramentals #4 is the instrumentals to the above mentioned LP and drops the same day 4/23
  • Crypstramentals #5 drops the following tuesday 4/30.  These are old instrumentals some of which are already on soundcloud
  • FYSM drops early may
  • Remaining stock of Atoms shirts from storage will be on bandcamp by the end of next week… limited sizes and colors… pictures soon
  • all releases will be on bandcamp
  • Currently no plans for physical releases at the moment, but not ruling it out
  • Truth is the “lost” album recorded in 2004-5.  it is unchanged from the original recording.  Only change is that the mixes were mostly all done over (had no choice)
  • FYSM is all new material of me rapping over old records and straight loops.  Its a 9 song EP and it is done and i like it
  • ATOMS record is pretty much done, working out the details, and working on the mixes.  Hopefully a summer release
  • all of the above solo MUSIC releases will be FREE on bandcamp.  To get said releases for free you enter a price of 0 and put in your email so I can spam you in the future.  You can also enter a price above zero, which is always welcomed and appreciated.  However, you can not enter a price less than zero.  I am not paying you to download my music, nice try tho
  • Solace in Solitude (my production album) is on hold til I can locate a vocalist that isnt bat shit crazy.  Or at least til I find one whose insanity is compatible with my own insanity.  Im probably the problem… any shrinks reading this?
  • FYSM stands for Fuck You Sue Me, mostly, but really it stands for a million other weird acronyms that lurk in my head.. 
  • FYSM #2 has already been started
  • Also Im in the initial stages of writing my next proper full length LP
  • bandcamp: http://weareatoms.bandcamp.com/
  • facebook: www.facebook.com/cryp.uno
  • twitter: @cryp_uno
  • tumblr: you’re already here
i think thats it…. for now… i need a drink

Throwaway Tuesday continues… Die Crying from 2002ish, unused

Next week… and more

  • my lost solo Truth LP next week… finally
  • FYSM is in the last stages of mixing as we speak/type… early May release
  • remaining stock of Atoms shirts for sale on the bandcamp page next week
  • Crypstramentals 4 (Truth LPs Instrumentals) next week
  • Crypstramentals 5 (old never used instrumentals) in 2 weeks
  • all the music releases above will be “pay what you want” AKA free… enjoy
  • ATOMS EP is recorded and mixing has begun

more details to come in a more extensive post soon…

and before I go… another HUGE thanks to all the people that supported via the bandcamp page… pretty humbling to see people that choose to pay for releases when they can put $0 in for the price and get for free… even when the payment is $1 its appreciated and very humbling… thanks yall
