Boston’s M-Dot turns in a gem with “No Money Down”, a track that really emphasizes that there’s nothing free in this world. Every artist, DJ, emcee etc, needs to pay their dues, as well as realize the time when their dues start to pay them back. It’s something that was told to me over the weekend by Mr. Cartoon who spoke at Saint Alfred’s on Saturday. He talked about his days doing “free” tattoos in the sense that he was not charging for the work, but that he used every opportunity to show off his portfolio and add to it thus making his free work pay off. He also talked about the day that he set his first price, and how although he may have needed the money, he never lowered his price just to get a client. Anyway, this post is about M-Dot, so check out the new music after the jump. Mr. Cartoon interview coming soon.
