Unreleased Track 'Immortality' + Kickstarter Update

New Unreleased Music
SUBSTANTIAL - IMMORTALITY

With less than a week left for the #SubOnWax Kickstarter Campaign, I've decided to make this once "SUBporter Exclusive" song available to everyone for supporting the campaign. This is one of several unreleased tracks from 2008's Sacrifice and because I am a man of my word, I will still gift everyone who backs the campaign another previously unreleased track from Sacrifice

ABOUT IMMORTALITY
I finished this song back in the Spring of 2006 and it was originally suppose to be the last track on my sophomore album, Sacrifice. Unfortunately, I lost contact with the producers (The Deffenders) when it was time to finalize and release the album a year or so later and it's remained in the vault ever since. Back in 2011, I got the song remixed by M-Phazes, but when he sent the beat, I loved it, but felt like it didn't work as well as the original track. So instead, I used the remix beat for Grateful on my third album Home Is Where The Art Is, which is why the song themes are similar. 

11 years later, this is hands down one of my favorite songs I've ever recorded. Now it's yours! By the way, it should be available on Spotify, iTunes, Amazon, Tidal and everywhere else by the weekend but you can download it right now exclusively on Bandcamp.


KICKSTARTER UPDATE: As of 12AM (EST) last night, we are 86% backed with 6 days left! We're almost there!

Lastly, I recently had the pleasure of sitting down with Crowdfunding Cast to talk about my new Kickstarter Campaign. Listen by clicking below.

That's all for now. I'll see you soon but talk to you sooner. - Substantial

NEW RELEASE: Substantial & Marcus D (Bop Alloy) 'Present' [EP]

Substantial & Marcus D (Bop Alloy)
Present [EP]

Explicit Version | Clean Version

After releasing EPs with both The Other Guys (The Past…) and Algorythm (Always), Substantial releases his third EP, The Present, with fellow Bop Alloy producer, Marcus D. Together, The Past…, Always, and Present will prepare fans for Substantial’s forthcoming full length LP The Past Is Always Present In The Future scheduled for release later this year.

Producer Marcus D says...

Since Present technically belongs to Substantial’s series of EPs, The Past is Always Present in the Future, we treated it as more of a solo project than a Bop Alloy joint. Sub has a clear vision for the EPs leading up to his full-length album and he was gracious enough to let me produce the entire thing. Present is different, but undeniably us.

Present features recent singles, Party With Purpose and The Sub Way and includes vocals from Steph, The Sapphic Songstress, Precious Joubert (Sound of the City), as well as a debut with HiPNOTT’s latest signee Intelligenz.

PRESENT [EP] OUT NOW
iTunes | Bandcamp | Spotify | Amazon | Google Play

Also available, official Bop Alloy Logo Snapbacks are still in stock for a limited time. Grab yours today.

Prolific beats, creative lyrics and features from Tanya MorganSubstantialLikwuid and more, Feast of Legend will prove to be a fundamental addition to any Hip-Hop catalogue. Save room for dinner, the Feast is upon us.
