Manifesters: The First 40 Releases


Yesterday Manifesters released a single which marked our 40th release to date. As far as milestones go there’s no significance, and in the grand scheme of things, our number of releases essentially has no meaning. In all honesty it’s really nothing more than a testament to how much I write and record. But for anyone who has read my blog posts before, or knows me personally, I’m all about breaking down the numbers.

1993 – Started rhyming
1996 – Started taking rhyming seriously
1998 – Started going by the name, Versifier
1999 – Started Manifesters
2000 – Started recording
2001 – First release

Releases to Date: 3-1-01 to 5-12-20 = 40

Release Type
Albums = 7
EPs = 9
Singles = 11
Compilation Albums = 10
Waves = 2
Mixtapes = 1

Release Mediums
CD = 5
Digital = 35

Released By
Manifesters = 14
Versifier = 24
Oxcyde and Versifier = 1
DayBreakers (Versifier & Hypnose) = 1

There are a total of over two hundred and fifteen unique songs contained in the forty releases. And that number does not include any guest feature songs released on another artists’ album, or tracks made for other’s compilation or mix albums. Additionally, there are twenty six Manifesters/Versifier unreleased albums which were never released to the public, as well as over one hundred song that were written but never recorded. All in all, there are currently over five hundred Manifesters/Versifier songs in existence.

Needless to say, there’s been a ton of music made over the course of the past twenty years.
