This is basically the situation. Jewel's and Hero just now got their own studio set up, so that should expedite the recording process.
But you gotta realize that Jewels just doesn't pick random beats, rap over them and dip.He's actually in the studio helping make these instrumentals.
Listen to Glimpse of Destiny and tell me you could produce something that maximalist and complex in less than a year with not only zero resources, but also having to deal with everyday life.
Outside of the music It's pretty much only me doing the design. A huge vision takes time to realize with such limited resources, but we make due.
You wanna know why Jewel's isn't bigger? Ask the gatekeepers in the Chicago hip-hop scene that ****. The **** are you supposed to do about being blackballed? The only thing you can do is continue dropping great ****, and let the product speak for itself. It's been an uphill battle with these people, but after 3+ years the scales are starting to weigh in our favor. It's all behind the scenes, but the effort definitely hasn't gone unnoticed.
Edit*
And another thing. You wanna compare Dom to Jewels? Look at the amount of projects that have been dropped. Both are at around 6. The difference? One person is from a city that embraces each other's music, and the other is from a city that does whatever they can to kill whatever movement you have... If Jewel's was from LA he'd be dropping his second studio album by now.
...on a brighter note I still wanna get Jewels over to EAE...soon 
but what does that have to do with anything???? like who cares what he is wearing
^THIS.i been knowin jewels for a minute , never lazy. and a lot of yall dont know but chicago has such an elitist attitude towards itself its gross . there are people that personally feel some type of way about jewels and will go out of their way to not support for no real reason . trust me . when you dont run with certain crowds and refuse to dumb down and conform to certain people , it makes it that much harder and by nature jewels just aint that kinda guy . but for what hes doing , its gonna be a situation where people are going to have to come to him and hes not going to be forced to reach out to other people . which is exactly the kind of situation you want to be in . . .This is basically the situation. Jewel's and Hero just now got their own studio set up, so that should expedite the recording process.
