Writer Dye is a project that has Playdough reimagining lyrics from iconic songs of multiple genres and molding them into entirely different songs. Playdough reinterprets songs from Bob Dylan, Coldplay, Led Zeppelin, Johnny Cash, Queen, Modest Mouse, Digable Planets, The Beatles, Bon Iver, The Strokes and other classics. Writer Dye features top shelf appearances from OhNo, Von Pea (Tanya Morgan), Copywrite, Theory Hazit and Adeem. Expect a strong emphasis on song writing as Playdough continues to challenge his own wordplay and delivery. It's an artisitc approach to songs you probably know, but what other emcee could flip this concept like Playdough does?

Writer Dye will be available for FREE download on 10/22 at www.iamplaydough.com. For a short time limited edition pre-order packages with an exclusive Writer Dye shirt and CD are available here.

Road Dogs!
"Thank you so much for keeping up with me over the years. Your support made my last album "Hotdoggin" my most successful album yet. You've enabled me to tour the world and do independent music without any label support or financial help from anyone. I wanted "Writer Dye: Deux or Die" to be a free download to keep my music in front of people that might not be familiar with my music. Everything that goes into making and releasing an album is expensive. If you're the type of person that likes to support music and artists that you enjoy please consider ordering the pre-order package. If that's not your style please donate what you can and download the digital version on 10/22. There's not a lot of places for an indie hip-hop artist to spread their music so if I'm going to continue making songs of high quality I need my Road Dogs to help spread my music by word of mouth. Please tell anyone that might dig my music by forwarding this e-mail, Facebook, Twitter, blogs, Instagram, pigeons, doves, smoke signals or on the street. This album is cheap for you but expensive for me, I hope you love it! Thank you for all the support and please remember to pray for me. One God, One Truth, One Love, One Way."
