The Rose Tint is the second solo studio album by New Zealand rapper David Dallas. It was initially released as a free download on 11 May, 2011 through Duck Down Music, Dirty Management and Dawn Raid Entertainment, serving as his first release since signing to New York City based Duck Down Music.
Production was handled by Fire & Ice, Dan "Exile" Mawby, 41, P-Money and M-Phazes. It features guest appearances from American rappers Buckshot, Freddie Gibbs, Tayyib Ali and Kid Daytona, as well as New Zealand artists Che Fu, PNC, Pieter T and Jordache.
The album was nominated for 'Album of the Year' and 'Best Urban/Hip Hop Album' at the 2011 New Zealand Music Awards, and shortlisted for the 2012 Taite Music Prize, considered impressive feats for an album released as a free download.
Release
The album was released as a free download on 5 May via DatPiff and Dallas' official website on 11 May, 2011. Dallas' explained the reasoning behind releasing the album as a free download, stating: "that's ultimately what you need, you want people to hear it. You think, would you rather a thousand people heard it or would you rather sell it to one hundred?".[3]
The album was downloaded more than 8,000 times within its first 24 hours of release and by November 2011 had been downloaded 50,000+ times.[4]
Due to demand, a retail deluxe edition was released on 8 November in North America and 14 November worldwide. It debuted at #3 on the New Zealand Albums Chart.
The deluxe edition contained four new Fire & Ice-produced tracks: "Feel Like Oasis", featuring Kid Daytonna & Tayyib Ali, "Not Enough", featuring Jordache, "10 Foot Tall" and "Couldn't Walk a Mile", a new M-Phazes remix of "Til Tomorrow" and an additional Disc 2 containing instrumentals of all tracks on the album.
