This is Marc from Walkup Records – Bigga Haitian’s label and production crew. My co-producer Brett Smith and I just came across your great review of the Focus Riddim review. I’ll send it to Bigga too, and he’ll be happy to see it. Thanks for the great words about Bigga and the other talented artists. I’d love to know what you think of the new Bigga album we produced, Sak Pase. If you have a chance to reply with your email address, I can I attach the artwork and a “one-sheet” with album description, quotes, etc. In the meantime, credits are below, and here is a link to download the music: http://www.sendspace.com/file/mhp2tp

Thanks for checking it out. Let me know if you have any trouble downloading, and looking forward to your feedback. Regards from Bigga, Brett, and the Walkup crew.

Peace,
Marc
