One of Hip Hop's most colorful characters and gifted emcees Kool Keith formerly of Ultramagnetic MCs has decided to harness the power of the Internet. He recently dropped an album called 'Black Elvis/Lost In Space' and felt that it simply hasn't been getting the proper promotion. This is especially daunting when you consider that Keith is signed to Ruffhouse/ Sony one of the most powerful record labels in the world. hence Keith has taken to emailing fans from all around the world asking that they 'step to' his record label and demand they pick up the pace and make Kool Keith a household name... Here's a copy of the letter I received the other day...

Dear Fans,

This is Kool Keith. This is my first time writing you all personally, because this is a serious issue. I love all my fans, but I am a little bit angry with my record company. Aren't you mad? I am on a big label, but I am getting no promotion.

The label fucked up a lot of stuff that you kids want to have access to. The video should be on TV for you kids to see. The video was done before my tour. You can call and email the following people to ask them what's going on. My project is available, but I know it's hard for you not to get any of the material, and latest updates.

You should really e-mail these people constantly, to give you the information that you need about the Black Elvis CD. Visually, radio time, show updates, and next singles and albums. You can email these people 24 hours a day, and you will get a response. Write in your complaints about the album not being seen in your local stores, or wherever you can't find Kool Keith product.

Email these people and tell them why you're angry that you haven't seen my new video. Email these people 24 hours a day nonstop, you will get a response. Ask for wigs, product, posters, videos, radio,and etc. And that's it.

Here is who you can ask what:

Why is Kool Keith getting no Promotion? Why is Columbia Records not supporting Kool Keith? Why is nothing getting done?
