Ghanaian rapper Edem has disclosed his upcoming album would not be made available for free unlike fellow rapper Asem did.
Speaking on his plans for his third studio album with Giovanni Caleb on the Late Night Celebrity Show on eTV, Edem revealed he was not going to be charitable.
According to yfmghana.com. the artist is quoted as having said;
“Unlike Asem, You know Asem gave away his whole album for free and that’s a kind of 50 Cent stunt. When 50 sent his album to Jimmy Iovine and he said he wasn’t interested, 50 put the whole thing online for free. But I am not giving this album out for free. With Volta Regime and Mass Production, I was giving free copies to almost every one I met including Police Officers, Taxi Drivers and Presenters. But with this album, every copy has to be paid for.
“With this album we have tried to make the entire album an experience. The intro is very classic because it draws you into the album. The packaging is great, and when you listen to the songs in order, it feels different to when you listen to it as singles. It’s not just an album, it’s an experience.
“It’s twenty five songs, it’s an mp3 album, nineteen featured artists, eleven producers; that’s what Books N Rhymes is made of.”
Editor’s Note
Asem per my checks did not release the entire album for free as he sent out full download links to an email blast (which I was a part) which contained only media houses with the intent of reviewing the album and not for uploading.
