Chuck D and Flavor Flav want your money. Conscious hip-hop pioneers Public Enemy wants to release an album entirely funded by donations from their fans.
In return for investing in the project, fans will get albums and meet-and-greets. Using website SellaBand, Public Enemy set a goal of raising $75,000 through donations. They tried this once before with a goal of $250,000, but they topped out at $67,000. Now they’re giving it the old college try once more.
“We have learned that the fan-funding model is still not fully developed and, as a result, a $250,000 fund-raising effort, while possible, will take too long to accomplish…As a result of our SellaBand experience and all that we have learned, we now believe that a $75,000 fund raising target will fulfil the needs for a new recording project and is much more appropriate for the strength of the existing SellaBand model and the current economic climate.”
How about recording the album with your money and then just let fans buy it? Certainly that’s a method that’s worked in the recording industry for ages!
