NEW ALBUM COMPLETE NOW WHAT?!!
SO I HAVEN'T POSTED ANY ARTICLES UP IN A WHILE, AND A BIG REASON FOR THAT WAS I RAN OUT OF THINGS TO TALK ABOUT LOL....THAT AND I'VE BEEN BUSY CONSTRUCTING A SOLID PRODUCT FOR A SOLO PROJECT OF MINE THOUGH. I DO HIPHOP I GUESS U CAN SAY ITS A CROSS BETWEEN CONSCIOUS, AND EXPIREMENTAL COMMERCIAL HIPHOP (ATLEAST WUT SHOULD PLAY ON THE RADIO)
SO I HAVE A SOLID 13 TRACKS DONE READY FOR A LIL POST PRODUCTION MEANING, INTERLUDES AND INTROS/OUTROS...WHICH IS ALMOST COMPLETE...
NOW I HAVE THE MUSIC, BEING THAT I'M UNSIGNED WHERE DOES THIS LEAVE ME? NOWHERE. BESIDES HAVING TO DESIGN AN ALBUM COVER WITH INSERTS, I HAFT TO COME UP WITH THE MONEY TO PRESS UP ATLEAST A 1000 CD'S IN TIME FOR THIS WINTER. BEING INDEPENDENT HAS ITS BENEFITS BUT WHEN UR BROKE NO INVESTORS ITS A BIG DISADVANTAGE. THE STORY OF MY LIFE AND MILLIONS OF OTHER TRULY TALENTED RECORDING ARTISTS OUT THERE.
THERE ARE PLENTY OF WAYS TO MARKET YOURSELF FOR FREE ONLINE, DO THE RESEARCH SO ATLEAST YOUR PROJECT WON'T BE AT A COMPLETE STAND STILL, AMONGST THE MORE COMMON LIKE MYSPACE, FACEBOOK, SOUNDCLICK, REVERBNATION, SOUND CLOUD, ETC.... I FIND THAT ALL OF THOSE SIGHTS ARE GREAT BUT THE REAL HUSTLE IS BUYING FRIENDS...I MEAN WHO HAS TIME TO REQUEST FRIENDS AND POST BULLETINS ALL DAY?! FOR THE INDEPENDENT ARTIST LIKE MYSELF THAT IS NOT A LUXURY I CAN AFFORD BEING WORK, FAMILY AND STUDIO AT NITE PRETTY MUCH COVERS THE 24 HRS BECAUSE AS MUCH AS I HATE TO DO IT BUT SLEEP TAKES ATLEAST 4-6 HRS UNFORTUNATELY
AN EXAMPLE ON WHY PAYING A SLIGHT FEE TO GET URSELF 10,OOO FRIENDS ON MYSPACE IN A WEEK IS, I'VE HAD AN ACCOUNT FOR ABOUT 5 YRS NOW AND ONLY HAVE 700 PLUS FRIENDS AND 11,000 VEIWS, THATS ME BARELY REQUESTIN FRIENDS BUT POSTIN ALOT OF BULLETINS AND A COMMENT HERE AND THERE...A BUDDY OF MINE JUST OPENED AN ACCOUNT PAID MAYBE 50 BUCKS AND HAD 10,000 PLUS FRIENDS IN A MATTER OF A WEEK WITH OVER 6,000 IN VEIWS IN 1 WEEK!!! SO DO THE MATH, AT THAT RATE YOUR LOOKING AT GETTIN UR SONGS PLAYED MORE THAN A MILLION TIMES IN FIVE YEARS!
NOTHING BEATS PROMOTING ON THE STREETS FACE TO FACE WITH YOUR FUTURE LISTENERS THOUGH, THE INTERNET IS A GREAT TOOL BUT PROMOTING UR ALBUM NATIONALLY IN THE STREETS IS JUS AS EFFECTIVE IF U HAVE THE ABILITY TO. LUCKILY FOR ME MY JOB WILL ALLOW ME TO DO JUST THAT FROM N.Y. TO CALI TRYING TO SELL EVERY 1 OF MY THOUSAND ALBUMS!!!
BOTTOM LINE IS IF UR AN INDEPENDENT ARTIST NOT GETTING ANY YOUNGER U NEED TO USE AS MANY DIFFERENT TOOLS AS POSSIBLE TO YOUR ADVANTAGE, KEEP GRINDING AND KEEP YOUR EARS OPEN FOR GBEATS' SOLO ALBUM "OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE" IS COMING TO A CITY NEAR YOU!!
