A letter from D.A. & Chester French
Hey everyone,
It’s D.A. from Chester French writing to you here from Jacksonville, FL. We just landed here an hour ago after spending 24 of the most exciting hours of our lives in New York, where we finally, after 5 years of work, released our debut album, “Love the Future.”
This morning I woke up and was blown away to see that the album, without any radio play, was #3 on the iTunes pop charts, only behind blockbuster acts Lady Gaga and Dave Matthews. As of last night we were the #13 album on iTunes overall, and at this moment we’re resting at a steady #15. If we can break into the top 10, however, we’ll be able to take our (and Star Trak’s) movement of creativity and quality music to the next level!
We’ve already announced that if we get in the top 10 on iTunes we’ll release a song that no one has ever heard before. But I wanted to take it a step further for you guys since our BBC and Ice Cream-loving supporters have been with us from the beginning. So here’s the deal:
1) Buy “Love the Future” on iTunes by clicking here: http://tinyurl.com/ccjnwy
-If you already own the album, buy it as a gift for a friend, co-worker, or family member (the button to do this in iTunes is right below the normal purchase button)
2) Forward your email receipt to bbc@chesterfrench.com
3) If we get into the top 10, be it today or a month from now, we’ll pick 10 folks who emailed us their receipts and send out 3 FREE BBC or Ice Cream Hoodies and 7 FREE t-shirts.
Pharrell, Chad, and we had to fight long and hard to release this record since it is not a conventional major-label album. We wrote, produced, and engineered it by ourselves and it is truly the record that we wanted you to hear, unadulterated by marketing executives or monetary motives! Since I know that many of you are artists and creative thinkers yourselves, we’ll be gratefull if you buy the album and with that purchase cast your vote for authentic music and creativity. Those ideals are what make us love Star Trak, BBC / Ice Cream, and this whole movement that we’re lucky enough to share with you.
And if you’re not yet familiar with our music and have been wondering about the two nerdy white dudes riding with Star Trak, you can get our free album, “Jacques Jams, Vol. 1: Endurance” at: http://www.chesterfrench.com . We produced this whole free album and it features collabs with Pharrell, Pusha, Jermaine Dupri, Diddy, Janelle Monae, Common, Wale, Mickey Factz, NORE, Jadakiss, Kardinal Offishall, Cassie, Solange, the Mad Rapper, and more. Consider if a free sample of what we do, and please feel free to burn as many copies of it as you can to give to friends and family! We need the word to spread and are super thankful for your help!
Thank you guys again for supporting us. Let’s show the world what Star Trak is all about.

CF is so Dope!!! The promotion strategy was already cool, w/ you getting your fans directly involved with the mixtape but this BBC giveaway is the definition of incentive. LTF is one of the best albums of the year… & Chester French has really helped me build my ENDURANCE. Get Familiar w/ Jacques Jams & then LOVE THE FUTURE!!!!
ABSOLUTELY ANYTHING FOR MY BOYS CHESTER FRENCH.
Like I’ve said in the past, as I am saying in the present and as I will say in the future. I WILL FOREVER SUPPORT YOU DUDES. I am going on iTunes right now and I will send you boys my receipt within an half an hour. OK?
I LOVE MY BOYFRIENDS CHESTER FRENCH!!!
Your lifetime supporter,
Electrifying Electra (O:
