South London-hailing seven piece band Clement Marfo & The Frontline have been working their up through the music industry, causing a storm on the web and a TV screen near you for over the past year. The band who have been picked as one to watch on several music publication including MTV have so far released three singles “Overtime featuring Ghetts,” “Mayhem featuring Kano,” and most recently “Champion,” and were set to release their highly anticipated debut album.

Unfortunately, with no official release date in sight, leading man Clement Marfo has run out of patience with music label Warner Bros. and has taken it upon himself to release some album material from as far back as 2009, in the new #FuckTheLabel zip. file.

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! I am tired of all this bullshit

— CLEMENT MARFO (@ClementMarfo) August 14, 2012

for too long I have kept quiet and played poker face, pretending that everything is okay

— CLEMENT MARFO (@ClementMarfo) August 14, 2012

I started this whole thing simply for the love of music! My escape, my way of expressing my emotions, my way of relating a story with others

— CLEMENT MARFO (@ClementMarfo) August 14, 2012

I once remember the love & excitement of creating original music – where there was no briefs or someone telling you to make a song like this

— CLEMENT MARFO (@ClementMarfo) August 14, 2012

Some folks think I’m some any newcomer but if you do your research I’ve been doing this ting from eaaaaarly

— CLEMENT MARFO (@ClementMarfo) August 14, 2012

All of this didnt happen overnight, I’ve never been spoon fed! Everything you see is from the ground up – brick for brick with my bare hands

— CLEMENT MARFO (@ClementMarfo) August 14, 2012

I’ve been through it all… the pirate radio sets, performing at raves, bars, clubs, universities for FREE! Money wasn’t on my mind

— CLEMENT MARFO (@ClementMarfo) August 14, 2012

I remember I use to fall asleep in seminars and at work… KO’D! Drool o the keyboard and everyting because I was doing what I truly love

— CLEMENT MARFO (@ClementMarfo) August 14, 2012

I thought fuck this! Why am I going to do something half hearted? Why am I turning up to seminarswhen all I can think about is music

— CLEMENT MARFO (@ClementMarfo) August 14, 2012

I quit my job, dropped out of University and saved up to £4,000 to follow my heart!

— CLEMENT MARFO (@ClementMarfo) August 14, 2012

There’s alot of manufactured girl/boy bands out there engineered by label execs & I can promise you this Clement Marfo & The Frontline isn’t

— CLEMENT MARFO (@ClementMarfo) August 14, 2012

One thing that surrounds my whole life is SERENDIPITY! As a believer of God, I believe God works in mysterious ways and engineers this plan

— CLEMENT MARFO (@ClementMarfo) August 14, 2012

Dion and I were the founding members of this all ish. I wanted to dabble in Rock, he wanted to dabble with Rap! Purely for the love of music

— CLEMENT MARFO (@ClementMarfo) August 14, 2012

Kojo is a STAR! I noticed it from the moment I heard the songs on his MySpace profile page – and to this day I’m humbled to share the stage

— CLEMENT MARFO (@ClementMarfo) August 14, 2012

Stacey, Rich, Jonny, Dan are all FRIENDS of Dion! None of this manufactured ‘I like the look of her’ – these guys are REAL FUCKING MUSICIANS

— CLEMENT MARFO (@ClementMarfo) August 14, 2012

What I’m trying to say here is… There is no secret stories behind us. We may look completely different but we all share the love for MUSIC

— CLEMENT MARFO (@ClementMarfo) August 14, 2012

Together, we have written 60 BUMBACLART SONGS! We’ve been told it’s not gonna work, theres too many of us, but we continued to keep marching

— CLEMENT MARFO (@ClementMarfo) August 14, 2012

Most of these songs you hear now were written in 2009, before we got signed to a major label! Where the love for our music became poisoned

— CLEMENT MARFO (@ClementMarfo) August 14, 2012

Fuck the politics that so often surrounds the craft and drags it down into corporate, money hungry bullshit

— CLEMENT MARFO (@ClementMarfo) August 14, 2012

Apparently, we are not connecting with our audience…. what does that even mean? The label are so quick to come up with fucking excuses

— CLEMENT MARFO (@ClementMarfo) August 14, 2012

With that statement, you are insulting everything I have worked hard for and the people I do connect to! If you bought my music, we connect

— CLEMENT MARFO (@ClementMarfo) August 14, 2012

Labels are slow are making decisions! This album was created a long time ago and still the world are yet to hear it

— CLEMENT MARFO (@ClementMarfo) August 14, 2012

If I have connected with you in some way whether its a conversation, a song, live peformance – tweet me with where you’re from #fuckthelabel

— CLEMENT MARFO (@ClementMarfo) August 14, 2012

Every day I am dealing with politics! If I wanted to be a politician, I would of bloody studied politics you mongooses

— CLEMENT MARFO (@ClementMarfo) August 14, 2012

Seriously, if i connected with you! Tweet me from the ends you are repping with #fuckthelabel I want the world to see how many know wa gwarn

— CLEMENT MARFO (@ClementMarfo) August 14, 2012

You are my fans! Times have changed… The street is the A&R! The street tell you what’s hot! The street makes your jobs easier

— CLEMENT MARFO (@ClementMarfo) August 14, 2012

I was told this album will be released Autumn/Winter and still there is no release date! It’s bloody August for goodness sake @warnermusic

— CLEMENT MARFO (@ClementMarfo) August 14, 2012

Most of the songs on the album were written in 2009 before Pass Out, Do It Like A Dude, No Regrets, Read All About It

— CLEMENT MARFO (@ClementMarfo) August 14, 2012

Earlier this year we were tipped for @mtvuk Brand New for 2012 alongside Angel, Lana Del Rey, Conor Maynard, Lianne la Havas etc

— CLEMENT MARFO (@ClementMarfo) August 14, 2012

Subsequently tipped for @t4witter Rising Stars alongside CoverDrive, Stooshe and many more that have gone on to do great things this year

— CLEMENT MARFO (@ClementMarfo) August 14, 2012

I refuse to be one of those acts that were tipped and suddenly disappear due to label taking long with decisions. I refuse to disappear

— CLEMENT MARFO (@ClementMarfo) August 14, 2012

Do you know how many talented artists we lose every year due to the label changing up the style they were interested in, in the 1st place…

— CLEMENT MARFO (@ClementMarfo) August 14, 2012

Labels are always on a long ting! Do you know how many people are still waiting on invoices… #fuckthelabel

— CLEMENT MARFO (@ClementMarfo) August 14, 2012

I am a strong believer in making my YES my YES and my NO my NO! It is called making a DECISION instead of sitting on the fence

— CLEMENT MARFO (@ClementMarfo) August 14, 2012

…and with this I have made my OWN decision! My fans want to hear songs from the album and so they will! #fuckthelabel hulkshare.com/m596ugzpnk00
