Red Cafe Explains Mixtape Title

Monday, May 24 2010 10:35 AM EST | Posted by: B.Dot | Posted in: Blog, True Story

Red Cafe explains the meaning behind his new mixtape, No Witnesses. See his point of view? Tape drops Wednesday.

“They don’t know how many people I employ, the families I feed, the many trips to the bank to make deposits, the hard work I put in the studio or the hit records that I have wrote for other artists, or the grind I been thru throughout my journey that wasn’t my fault, etc,” Red Café tells Sermon’s Domain on the concept. “I don’t have Witnesses. It’s not my style to broadcast these things.  If it doesn’t make sense I just keep it moving. That’s the concept of No Witnesses. I don’t need a co-sign to continue to do what I do for the people that love me and people that do recognize.”
