Count Bass D “Art for Sale”

“My record company is jerkin’ me… in a million ways that I can see…”

This song is a great representation of what artists are encountering with record labels today. Dwight Farrell aka Count Bass D aka Dwight Spitz, from Tennessee, isn’t your typical southern rapper. His influences of Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, Herbie Hancock, MF Doom, and J Dilla are prevalent in his lo fi grooves. Art for Sale is the title track from his album released in 2006. I always love it when I hear cats without a real singing voice sing to a track. … and conscious too?! What more can you ask for?

Check out Count’s latest album L7 which dropped a couple of days ago.
