THE FORTY FIVE LP

For years, every episode of the DOD45 Show has ended the same way: the best underground hip hop artists alive telling their stories while Tai draws 'em live. Somewhere past episode 100 the show became somethin' bigger than a podcast... so Tai started asking his guests one question: you got a verse for me?

Turns out they did.

Over 6 months of beats, verses & phone calls later, the Forty Five LP exists: 45 brand new tracks from over 60 rappers & producers, made FOR this project, pressed across 5 slabs of 140g black vinyl. Each record in its own full jacket, original ArtByTai on the front & a collage of past guest artwork & photos on the back. All 5 slide into a custom slipcase. Mixed by DJ Zole. Stitched together by Mr. Dibbs.

These aren't leftovers or throwaways. These are collaborations you've never seen before & likely won't see again... pairings that only happened cuz this show put these people in the same orbit.

Every episode ends with a drawing. The companion book collects every one of 'em... the artwork, the guests & the show notes behind the album. The whole visual history of how this thing came to exist, & the only place it lives is this campaign.

Available as an add-on to any pledge.

This is a preorder, not a hand out the hat situation. Tai's original drawings in the collector tiers pay for the pressing... the vinyl price is just what it costs to put the box in your hands. 45 people get it BELOW cost. If the campaign blows past the goal, every box upgrades from black to colored vinyl, no extra charge, & the surplus pays the people who made this sound right.
