I’ve already expressed my excitement for the release of Crown City Rocker’s upcoming album, The Day After Forever (September 29th via Gold Dust). And ever since I posted the artwork x tracklist, I’ve been patiently waiting for a preview. Well that time has finally come as I got my hands on the first official leak…

Dear Joe Budden fans
*
I am writing to inform you that Amalgam Digital, Inc has yet to make an official announcement of an actual release date for Joe Budden’s “Escape Route”. We are just as anxious to release the album as you are to support it however, we have no album in our possession to release.
*
I understand there is some confusion with fans surrounding the release date of this album and most are under the impression that the album was to be released today on the AmalgamDigital.com digital download store.
*
It is important to understand that the agreement for this album between the company and the artist has been in effect for a long period of time preceding the tour that the artist recently embarked on along with his group in which has kept him very busy along with other recording commitments.
*
The album was tentatively scheduled for a release in July and our aim was to release by mid July however, the album was never assigned a specific date as there was a strong concern with the artist delivering the mastered album on time.
*
The album is now 5 weeks past due and no one at Amalgam has a copy of the album, tracks, or session files. Joe Budden has informed the company that it will be sent over this week and that he still requires our assistance mixing and mastering the release which will require yet more time. We estimate that once Joe actually delivers the album the process of mixing and mastering could take up to a week. From that point we will aim to make the album immediately available in the AmalgamDigital.com store shortly thereafter.
*
There is also a strong misconception that Amalgam Digital is solely a record label.
That is far from fact as Amalgam Digital is a primarily a genre specific digital retail store and destination site that carries many independent artists and record label’s digital content however, the company also boasts a record label by the same name in which Joe Budden has signed too for several projects. “Escape Route” is a full length release and not an EP. This commercial release will serve as a precursor to “The Great Escape” which Amalgam Digital plans to release on CD and Digital formats later this year.

I have to say, a lot of these responses strike a real chord with me but some peoples responses seem to get a bit too aggresive if you do not correspond with their feelings.
