This is my advice for all those artists out there who want to get their music heard, but don’t know the best way to do it. For those who don’t know who I am, I go by Em Dub and I’m the founder and editor in chief of Thizzler On The Roof, the spot you need to be at if you want the latest Bay Area hip-hop/rap songs, videos, mixtapes, etc. I’ve been running the site for a year and a half now (10 months seriously) and I’ve seen all aspects of the online game from a blogger’s perspective and from a promoter’s perspective (from promoting the Under The Bay episodes we do every week). Don’t worry, this isn’t a Bay Area specific guide: if you follow these steps you should be able to have some success anywhere (unless your music sucks).
I’m gunna break it down into 2 parts, because at different stages in your career you’ll need to use different approaches. And this is just for getting your music buzzing online; there’s a whole other set of tactics for getting a fanbase in the streets that I’m not going to get into right now.
So, with that said, part 2:
Artists with some buzz
