 James Kelly, aka LMNO (Leave My Name Out), a member of the underground group the Visionaries, announced recently that he'll be dropping a 10-pack of his most prolific work this month.
Early this year, LMNO took on the challenge of producing 10 original albums in one year, a feat no other musician has conquered to date. His drive to craft music with a meaning inspired him to accomplish the nearly impossible. Since the announcement, he has delivered seven of the 10 albums before August 2010, composing and recording day and night to complete the final three albums in time to release the 10-pack collector's edition this month.
A certified studio fiend that records daily, fans and fellow artist circles alike clamor about LMNO's work ethic and passion for music.
LMNO chose 2010, the 10th anniversary since his debut album release, as the year to begin revealing his seemingly infinite catalog: 10 new albums in 2010, all released digitally, along with a monumental collector's CD 10-pack, self titled James Kelly, designed and packaged by LMNO's Long Beach neighborhood friend, Jonas Bevacqua's company, Lifted Research Group (LRG).
"This project was special because of everyone that was involved," said LMNO. "I have a lot of respect and love for each producer, as well as all the artists that featured on each album. Once LRG and Up Above Records agreed to do this project, I knew it was all possible."
On the 10 albums, LMNO collaborated with a slew of talented producers, including Georgia Anne Muldrow, Kev Brown, KeyKool, and DJ Babu.
"I've known and worked with LMNO since high school, and he is by far the most prolific MC I know," said Up Above Records president KeyKool. "So far, only the producers and artists James works with have been able to witness what a studio monster he is. But this 10-pack solidifies the LMNO legacy and lets the world see his true talent and passion. As contributor and fan alike, I couldn't be more proud and impressed by the epic project: James Kelly."
