When this came in, K-Nuggets, after listening to the full album (you can read my review of it here), I 100% freaked out. I never expect my albums to show up at my door within a week of me ordering them, but when they do, it is honestly the best thing ever. I am not going to lie, Poet | Artist is probably one of the best albums that I have ever heard start to finish. I know it rips our hearts apart to talk about it, but it truly is phenomenal, and we all need to just truly appreciate it.
I do a lot of my album shopping on Music Plaza LA. Additionally, if you have never used Music Plaza before, this link will get you an extra 5% off of your first purchase!
You can also order a copy of the album from an eBay, as they typically have good prices. Plus, with eBay, you can save a little bit of money by using the E-Bates extension on your browser, as it will save you 2% on all album purchases, which definitely adds up.
What is E-Bates?
E-Bates is a cashback site that gives you money for purchases you may have already made. They even have an extension for multiple browsers so when you go to a website that uses Ebates, it will automatically pop up the cashback button to make sure you are saving money. I use this all the time, and I got over 80$ back from them for purchases I was going to make anyway. That’s about 3 more albums I can buy!
If you’ve never used EBates before, you can use this link to get $10 when making a qualified purchase of $25 when using EBates. You will also get whatever percent cashback is being offered from the site you are purchasing from. Sephora, typically has 4% cashback, through here. Sokoglam typically has 3%. These percentages Many other major retailers are on there as well.

K-Crack Scale: 500 mg
So I ranted in my previous post about how everyone needs this album in their lives because it is just that amazing. This could be another rant about how you need this in your life, but I will tell you instead to just go read the post where I talk about the whole album, song by song. Honestly, this album being released, reviewing it, and getting a copy of it, helps me feel a little bit more OK with everything that has transpired here. What we need to do now, is really just to support his family and the organizations who try to help prevent suicide from occurring. All proceeds of this album do go to those organizations and his mother. If you can only own 1 K-Pop album out of all the K-Pop albums out there, this is a good one to own. It is worth every penny.
Let me know what your favorite track was in the comments below, K-Nuggets!
