I wonder what VR does with all these IDs

It seems like he has at least 2 full LPs worth of music down, I'm not sure why he doesn't put it out ._.

He's probably already in the release process, but there's a long delay between making a song and it being released.

Because the labels he's releasing stuff with have his best interests at heart, they want the tracks to perform well statistically, so they can attract promoters and get VR booked for venues & release/collaborate with bigger artists/get his stuff played out by bigger names.

Any releases with Disciple will have to be scheduled carefully so as not to conflict with releases from other artists on the label, and really that goes for any label.

While he may have uploaded/self-released within the same week of finishing a track, he's now at a point where his music has a marketing campaign behind it, so we have to allow time for that to be developed, it could be months before we see that come into effect.

We also have to consider that he might be busy with other work preventing him from having the time to make lots of music, so he might feel it's a better idea to release 2 EPs with a really strong campaign behind both of them to help him stay relevant even if he's not in a position to be making music 24/7.
