Background

[edit]

Ascension Pending: #WatchMeWork was originally slated to be Bigg Khrisco's first double disc project, but this was changed due to both discs sounding "Completely different" from each other causing the artist to make disc one and disc two individual projects instead.

This will mark the first album from Bigg Khrisco since the dissolving of the De'Andre Music, Incorporated imprint.

Editions

[edit]

It was announced by Bigg Khrisco that the project would be released as two different versions; The Standard Edition and the Deluxe Edition. It is unknown if these projects will be released on the same day or at different times.

The Standard Edition will contain 16 all-new original tracks, whereas the Deluxe Edition will contain the full Standard Edition as well as five bonus tracks and an additional full-length EP. The EP will be titled "Where Do I Begin?", dedicated to the artists late Grandmother who passed March 9, 2023 containing 4 Cover Songs. It is unknown if there will be any other differences between the two versions of the project.

Artwork

[edit]

The Artwork for the project was created and designed by Hellacious Pixels, a division of Hellacious Enterprises which is a subsidiary of Various Astonishments, Inc. (formely The VISKRI Group, Inc.), the parent company for Merck Movement Entertainment, Hellacious Productionz and Crime+Rate Recordz.

The Standard Edition cover art is an abstract art piece of a white background with gray clouds, symbolizing the artists ascension into the sky as a storm is approaching. This signifies that the artist recognizes the turbulence that he will face while on his rise to the top. No rain or lightening signifies that the ascension is literally in its beginning stage.

The Deluxe Edition cover art is just an inverted version of the standard editions artwork, which is a black background with the same gray clouds, signifying that the ascension does not only take place in daytime, but night as well.

The artwork for the "Where Do I Begin?" EP included in the Deluxe Edition of the project is a picture taken of the artists late grandmother dancing with her sister, the artists late great-aunt.

"Thats one of my favorite pictures because it was taken during my grandmothers birthday party that the entire family had an ABSOLUTE blast at! The Memories from that night will forever be cherished by ALL of us!",

said Bigg Khrisco in reference to the picture.

Release History

[edit]

An unmixed version of the song "Groove Wit Me" was released via Merck Movement Entertainments DJ Donkey Kong Davis' YouTube channel on October 8, 2024. The visualizer was released 4 days later on October 12, 2024.
