You can get Good Boy at any major digital music retailer. It's on iTunes, Spotify, Amazon, and a whole shit-ton of online retailers. That's all well and good; as a truly independent artist I get my fair share of the royalties. Financially, it makes no difference to me where you buy it.

But for you there are certain advantages to buying here at the source. Here are a few:

• The sound is better. The mp3s you're getting here are ripped directly from the true master, not a "glassed" copy of the master. Even the CD, while it more faithfully reproduces the true audio experience, was "stepped on" by the company that printed it. Also, I encoded these using VBR which is a better alternative to iTunes' 320 bitrate standard. Bitrate is only one measure of quality, and not the best one. If the bitrate varies during encoding, it optimizes the compression, allocating more storage to complex sounds and less to less complex sounds. So the sound quality is noticeably better here.
• You get the album art. Yeah, you get the cover at iTunes, but here you get the same print-ready high-resolution pdfs that were sent to the printer.
• You get access to premium content on CharlieHipHop.com, including notification of exclusive shows that aren't on the public calendar.
• You're paying me directly so you can be sure I'm getting your contribution to the cause: simply to make enough back to get in the studio and produce the next project.

I mean, go ahead and buy it on iTunes if that's your thing. It's seven bucks in the kitty either way. But there are distinct advantages to buying your copy of Good Boy right here, right now.

Peace,
