LES PREUVES, new EP boom bap French rap 2023
I am Le Druss. I decided to make this musical project my main activity for a few months. Because I want to put every chance on my side to make it successful! I believe it very strongly and I tell you everything in this page! I started rap, late. But I didn’t come out of nowhere. French rapper and druze at the same time. You can hear it in my verses. Summary The new EP "LES PREUVES" already has 6 master titles. By clicking on the image above, you will access the first title temporarily hosted on the SoundCloud platform (in an unmixed/mastered version). Listen up! In total, the EP will have 9 tracks. What do I say, 9 nuggets!: ) Each song has a duration between 3'12 and 4'20, which is an album of about 35 minutes. The EP "LES PREUVES", once mixed/mastered, will be released in digital format on the music platforms Spotify/ Deezer/ Amazon Music/ Apple Music and Youtube / Facebook / Instagram (the 1st clip). If we reach 150% of the campaign’s goal, all contributors, starting at €50 contribution, will receive a Vinyl copy at the end of 2023! (France, Europe, US) If we reach 200% of the campaign’s goal, all contributors, starting at €30 contribution, will receive a CD-format copy at the end of 2023 and you will choose the song of the album that will be the subject of a 2nd clip! It will also send a very, very strong message in the music industry, while most projects reach just 100%. Why a crowdfunding campaign This KissKissBankBank Project is not there to help launch another album. This is a chance to make this launch a complete professional and community event, with: even better mix/mastering and production quality of a real official clip for the first time, live concert dates and a legitimacy to integrate the best playlists in its category I am quite convinced that rappers are the new poets of our time. Not all, obviously. But I hope, with my words, to contribute to this movement. For this EP, the music selected in the style Boom Bap Rap (i.e. Oldschool style) comes from France and England. A first single will be released on August 21, 2023. This single will give a taste of the EP coming out on September 21, 2023. A release that will be accompanied by a concert Live à La Base - Saint Nazaire (44). Other dates will be announced soon in Nantes and Paris. Some people even whisper that a vinyl is being prepared. As for the rumor that Beyoncé said she was interested in a feature with Le Druss, and that he would have answered preferring Eminem, that remains to be checked. Other surprises await you, but you can’t tell everything at once. Take part in the adventure to follow the news! About the artist and his approach Le Druss is a mix between "Druze", my original ethnic Lebanese, and my civilian name "Jean Dussetour". Druze + Dussetour = Le Druss. Not just an origin, the Druze state of mind is reflected in the lyrics of my songs: keep your promises, confess your mistakes, refrain from gossip, be authentic, show solidarity. I started French rap at the end of 2017 between Paris and Maurepas (78). In 2019, a first album on Soundcloud "STARTUP LIFE" created a certain surprise in the entrepreneurial community in particular. 2,000 listens. Original in the approach, this album (not mixed) remained technically rather wobbly:-). From 2020, I developed visual projects to feed a Youtube channel (music videos) which exceeds the 20,000 views accumulated. Not bad. But can do better. In February 2022, the first album (9 tracks) "MA TERRE" was released on the platforms Spotify / Deezer / Apple Music / Amazon Music. Designed in France between Saint Nazaire and La Baule (44), some regional press coverage accompanied the event, such as Ouest France or Les Echos de la Presqu'ile. This step gave me a lot of strength, the opportunity to learn and the desire to progress. 30,000 cumulative streams on Spotify and a peak to 1,000 listeners per month. Not bad. But can still do better. When it comes to reaching a goal, it is often a matter of content quality. That is quite normal, I am aware of that and I come back with a level up. It’s also a matter of time to get over it. Making music, good music, takes time (I’m entering my 6th year). To take a step forward, it is much a matter of entourage. At the beginning of 2023, the team has grown with complementary profiles (coach/ bassist), and the existing team since "MA TERRE" (sound engineer/beatmakers) continues to support. It’s time for "LES PREUVES"! A more mature album/EP in terms of flow... a sound that does good! (Do you like the cover? it was made using artificial intelligence (credit: MidJourney AI)) - - - Project Schedule: • August 2022 - March 2023: Writing Lyrics • November 2022 - February 2023: production selection (instrumental versions of songs) • December 2022 - April 2023: Studio recording of mockups • May - June 2023: Kisskissbankbank campaign, social media promotion and press • June 2023: mixing and mastering in studio in Paris and Saint Nazaire (France) • June - July 2023: shooting of the official clip • August 2023: release of the first single on music platforms and the official music video • September 2023: release of the album and first concerts! • December 2023: release of the limited edition Vinyl (if 150% objective) and the CD-format + 2nd clip choosen by you (if 200% objective)!
Allocation of funds
Doing things right costs so much money, I can’t do it without you! The creation, the beatmakers, the equipment, the studios and their sound engineers, the graphic designers, videographers, the organization of the concerts to receive you well, etc. represents a budget of 8,000€. I break my piggy bank (4,000€). The first 6 tracks of the EP are already recorded as a model at the time the campaign in which you are participating begins, some rights on the instru are paid, a first mix/ mastering is launched, some down payments to the studios and some promotional fees. Still €4,000 to be financed and here is how the expenses are divided: TIER 1: €4,000 (100% of the objective) If we hit that level, it’s just awesome! The EP will be released with incredible quality, surrounded by many beautiful energies, we will make a beautiful event on all the digital platforms Spotify/ Deezer/ Amazon Music/ Apple Music. "Live" sessions will take place, which has never been done before. More surprises will be revealed but I’m not saying any more for now! TIER 2: €5,400 (135% of target) If we break the first step and hit the Step 2, then this is the front door for the production of a limited edition of Vinyles manufactured by Diggers Factory. All eligible contributors will receive this beautiful signed Vinyl object. It will be the gift that everyone is tearing under the tree at Christmas 2023! TIER 3: €6,000 (150% of the objective) We love, we are crazy, we dream and we make a second official clip of the song of our choice. Because clip production is decisive to reach the largest possible audience. The selected song will be chosen by survey among the campaign contributors. It will be released in December 2023, at the same time as the Vinyl! TIER 4: above €6,000 The surplus will be given to an association acting through music to a young audience to promote social inclusion. And we will contribute to bring out new talents!
