There’s too much excellent music in this world that gets overlooked.

An album series idea. Every four months, go through all the waning major label CDs from the preceding quarter that never got off the ground and pull together the gem songs from these albums. The distinction here is that these artists are not indie at all. They all wanted to be hip hop/pop stars, but it just didn’t work out. The music might still be damn good.
