I always laugh a bit when rappers ask me, surprised, where I found their music. I think I'm the only one searching out local rap on my own without shaking hands and meeting people at a bar/party/school.
Imagine how connected the artist network would be if other artists did too.

I found all the online promo you do. Your hash tags worked to get my attention, then your music was something I liked so I engaged and played it on #ATSIC. The online social media grind works if DJs aren't lazy.
The reality is no one looks.

I'm not a DJ. I host a show, but really I do this to help good artists get heard instead letting the mainstream ruin Hip Hop. Hopefully, it gets my music listened to the next time I drop something (that might work one day), & builds a network of artists to collab with
Once I dig through the heaps of broke guys rapping in autotune about how they go skrrt wit yo bitch for the 12 384 time, when I find an artist I like, the sad part here is that many still can't be bothered to engage. The ones who do, I play, retweet, and build with.
Rappers think promo means a flashy video, a feature they paid 500 bucks for, a bunch of streams they paid for, and paid position on some playlists or review accounts. Personally I don't want fans who are dumb enough to be tricked by that kind of marketing. Shit looks tacky to me.
The guys I'm sending shots at in this thread will read this and say "I got money from these skreets for promo, and I'm too busy fuckin yo bitch and skirting away in the whip to be on social media all day".
A bunch of bots streaming your shit won't get you on #ATSIC tho.
