^^more revenue for dom p & bugsy that way (they get everything you pay for the mp3s, iTunes would take a cut)
they prefinanced the album - it's their own label - and promo campaign (there's one, maybe more vids for the Dom P joint) themselves so they've got to maximize revenue to recoup
this is also why there was only a limited batch of physical copies available, they didn't want to be overstocked
if you have a closer look at the napalm bandcamp page you'll see that you can only order physical copies of Dom P's previous 2 albums. they could sell mp3s too of course but it wouldn't make sense in their case since they pressed too many physical copies and need to keep on selling them to recoup on costs of pressing etc
for fans all of this is very interesting in terms of being able to complete your collection. I was talking to Dom P online a few months back cuz I wanted to purchase some of his back catalogue and they have stacks left that they are eager to sell. same goes for bugsy's first album
napalm is operating on a very small margin in terms of means of investment so they have to think very carefully about how they proceed with each release. they can't afford to overproduce. this is also why they pay so much attention to what the fans want from them (i.e. type of beats, type of features, and now recording a joint album on the fans' request)
in case you are still looking for the songs
https://napalmmusic.bandcamp.com/ (bugsy's album)
the warpoetry bandcamp page has been taken off line. as I understand it from Dom P posts on FB his album can no longer be purchased, not even in digital form
bugsy's album will be going the same route in a few months
peace
