Count Bass D has been the quintessential underground hip-hop musician for the past twenty years. This film seeks to explore the work, inspiration and motivation of an artist who has gained international attention and acclaim, struggled through setbacks and false starts, and who, over the years, has inspired an entire generation of independent artists still searching for recognition themselves.
How does an artist’s spirit evolve and endure over time? Having reached professional heights, but still forced to grapple with the realities of working class America, Count Bass D occupies an advantageous position to speak on art, life, family, and articulate the strange priorities unique to those who abandon stability and certainty to chase dreams.

Here is the Press Release:
Brooklyn, NY – The terms “independent” and “underground” have rarely epitomized another musician more than hip-hop journeyman Dwight Farrell. In a candid new documentary, the versatile instrumentalist, lyricist and producer speaks about his 20 years making music under the rap moniker Count Bass D.
FULL COUNT follows the artist in his day-to-day, into the studio and on the road immediately after significant personal upheaval relocated him to Atlanta. Featuring new interviews and footage, Count Bass D opens up bearing hard truths about music, family, and the necessary sacrifices when you make music and inspiration your income.
Fresh from releasing five instrumental albums named after each of his children, Count always seems to have another project in the works. “I just keep putting one foot in front of the other. That’s my secret,” says Count. The longevity of his independent music career continues to impress.
An intimate portrait film, FULL COUNT is a glimpse into the tumultuous existence of one of the preeminent independent and underground musicians today, and one who has helped redefine those terms for countless other musicians who have followed.

And if you don’t listen to something because someone is gay, then you’re stupid, on top of homophobic and closed minded. It’s like people not listening to r&b because it’s the music of colored people. Dude, this is 2012. Let them mofo’s live, bro. They don’t want you or me. Mo p*%#y for us.—– Reply message —–I’m not sweating it like that.. I’m sure it’s great music and I would’ve been more amp to check it … But damn “coming out” a week before your album drops is no better than getting into a fight with Drake 2 weeks before your Album drops!! Publicity stunts make me weary music can’t be good if it can’t stand on its on merit. But this is the world we live in.. Not hate at all whatsoever … Just don’t dig the sensationalism of the game… Neil Patrick Harris is gay but still a good actor… he isn’t using that as selling point… He just does undeniable work…then again the album sold well over 100,000 units in its first week so what do I know ?
You be the Judge …
