Montauk Project Films ( Los Angeles, California), just announced the soundtrack lineup for it’s debut feature length film, “LITTLE BLUE PILL“. It’s a comedy about an unlucky hipster who accidentally takes two Erecta (Erectile Dysfunction Drug) instead of Aleve and goes on a day of misadventures. Sounds like some funny shit.

What’s really dope about this is the fact that, writer/director, Aaron Godfred discovered two of the artists for the film’s soundtrack on this blog.  The artists are, Anonymous Twist and Afterschool Special. Rather than go the traditional route of licensing established popular music, the film’s producers opted to search the Internet for fresh, new musical artists to lend tunes to the movie. By doing so the filmmakers were able to have greater creative freedom in shaping the film with the music selection. “We couldn’t have put together the musical selection that we did by using conventional means,” says producer Dave Szamet.

Director Aaron Godfred adds, “We are really excited to showcase our rocking soundtrack of up and coming artists. Some of these bands are going to make it big and we think its great when filmmakers and musicians can collaborate to bring their work and passions to life. It’s a win, win for everyone.”

It makes me proud to know that this blog is becoming a conduit of greater opportunities for artists and other professional people profiled here. So I encourage you all to continue to network, collab and expand this independent hip hop community.

If there is no way, we’ll make one!

I love when something like this happens. I was pleased to hear that two artists that I profiled on this blog, hooked up and collaborated to create some good hip hop music. Chicago’s Pennjamin Bannekar of Project Fr3sh and Producer D.C. from California,  hit me up to tell me that they had some hot music in the works. Naturally I was excited. They didn’t disappoint. Check out their joint, “The Come Up”
