Minus P’s "Welcome to the Heights" has been out for a bit now and it is a very good album. In many ways it is a great debut album.
This is not your fashionable, flash and glitter rap / hip hop sound. This is not your everyday drop. At a listen you can tell there has been much thought and preparation along with life experience put into this drop, and Minus is willing and eager to share it with everyone.
I wanted to know how the drop is going and what kind of feedback Minus was getting on the album, so I reached out to him; (and that again proves he is very fan friendly), to get the word directly from him.
Robert – Sup. Hope you are well and blessed.
Minus – Thank you, can’t complain at all, hope everything is good with you as well.
Robert – Well a lot has changed for you since we last spoke at length. The album ‘Welcome to the Heights’ has been out now for about a month now. How has it been accepted?
Minus – The reviews for it, the feedback from buyers, people who listen, everything has been lovely. And I’m glad too because I put so much into it, that it feels good for people to finally see the whole product, and be able to understand what I was trying to do all along.
Robert – So how has the ‘feedback’ been on the album?
Minus – As far as reviews on websites and magazines I’ve gotten all sorts of positive embracement, the lowest review was by rapreviews.com and that was a 7/10, and they called it “A work of art”, so you can only imagine what the rest of the reviews are like. As far as from fans and people who have bought it, its all love from day one, everyone who buys my album already believed, I put most of the album on my site for preview, so people already knew what they were getting into and they got it.
Robert – I remember The Cadillac Song was receiving air play. Are any of the other songs off the album hitting the air waves?
Minus - To be honest no, and is not because of stations, I really have not pushed other songs other than the Cadillac song to stations yet. The ones that are being felt the most however from the album other than that one, are “remembering you”, “Right here” and the title track “Welcome to the heights”.
Robert – I remember the last time we talked at length was right before you where going to drop a track you told me was called ‘Call Me’. I noticed it isn’t on the album. Did the title get changed or is it in your cataloged stuff?
Minus – Yeh that track, I had it done already, it’s a good track too on the story tip, but the mood was too dark for the album when it came down to it. I wanted my album to have a positive vibe overall, even when I was talking about subjects with negative connotations, I wanted it to be a bright album. Another thing was I wrote the track as a story track about a real life friend I got, and when he heard it he asked me to not to put it on the album, because the subject was still very hurtful to him, so I respect that, maybe in the future people will be able to enjoy that.
Robert – Are you pleased so far with the way things are going with the drop?
Minus – No man, I’ll never be pleased, that is what keeps me pushing harder. Do I like the love I’m getting? You bet man; it’s great to have something solid out in the world that no matter what you do will be part of you and the people who cherish it. IT’s strong.
Robert – I noticed something that sorta really got my attention on the ordering of the cd. You offer your own ‘bootlegged’ copies. How did ya come to that decision?
