thoughts to help da god

[uh-oh]

so yo, my new tape is all but finished, waiting on the artwork and might make a few more beats, at the moment i got like 25, gonna cut down to like the best 15 probably. so i might make more to see if i come up with anything doper

here is a preview of the artwork i got the dude doing.



but yo, i noticed with my last tape, albeit coming out of nowhere and me not really promoting it, i got a sharp PLUMMET in downloads and sales. basically people forgot about da god after my 3 year hiatus of not making beats at all. it got little to no views and etc

now i got my other tapes on various blogs and shit, but i've lost those contacts, and this release is when i drop the "uh-oh" alias basically and just go by my name, so i don't even have the waning strength of uh-oh to give me any help.

basically whats some ideas for me to get this heard by as many people as possible. i know you guys ain't really apart of the world of actually making music but i figured i'd see what thoughts you guys have.

because me just dropping it on bandcamp and my website, and sharing the links here and on facebook to my like 132 friends ain't gonna cut it haha.

basically any forums you know of, whether they are active or not, link them in here, and i dunno just places i can spam with it and so ON

[uh-oh]

i should have resized that pic. APOLOGIES

[sral]

you dont get promoters who put together PR packages over there?

thats your best bet, but they'll want paying

they usually have at least 20-30 blogs etc they get your ish on

what about the social network run by anonymous (minds.com ?)

might be worth a shot

as far as rap/hiphop forums try rap-royalty.com, maybe even places like rmbva.com and otbva.com - they seem to be the biggest as far as hiphop goes? maybe niketalk.com, boxden, sohh or w/e it goes by now? they seem to be some of the biggest forums out there with a hiphop section

reddit maybe?

another good thing possibly (for you) is to start up a youtube page showing people how to make beats - get subscribers etc and build up a fanbase that way? shitton of How-To vids maybe

[Amen.]

baron should be your agent.

but he right.

youtube the way to go. plus if you get enough subscribers and views, they may start paying you to drop vids nigga.

start getting bread for something you enjoy doing. cant lose.

stand outside of walmart handing out sample mix joints, son.

[uh-oh]

word im mainly talking self promotion

youtube pays off of ads. anyone can make youtube money if you got the views

im more just looking for places online to spam it. im out of the forum game so i dont know whats active and shit like that. but word good lookin out bros keep the suggestions coming

[Amen.]

try an SPAM craigslist as well.

you know hometowns always got them wannabe rap stars.

shit I know out here, about 10 per block.

niggas even throw concert/shows at the subway station, for nickels and dimes lol.

[Mr. J]

Join a group on Facebook. use soundcloud breh. upload the tape to datpiff
once you gain a little following the rest should follow nicely.
Youtube is always good. I'm sure if you use an artists' site they got forums most likely
I used to hop on jbtv til the site went down for good and I kinda just left
I'm sure you'll do good breh. You are the master of your own destiny bro...















hook it up with a Mr. J beat though I'll make @Genocide look like a suicide...




Geno since you are here, respond bro. Or at least send a verse

[Geno]

Dog i been promoting your bandcamp site to all my rapper friends on fb and shit. Not sure how many peeped u.. bug i put the effort out.

Whens the new tape dropping? I nees that shit

[Geno]

Also @uh-oh
Hig up rap-royalty.com
bodybagssent.com

Ummm datpiff is a great idea for you man.. not enough dope/original beat makers there from my experience. They will eat you up there.

Plus when the new tape drops i will also push/promote any links to your shit for you. You my manz like that

A lot of active audio heads r there ( on rap-royalty.com ) and i guarantee youll get some love for your shit. Plus ive already shouted you on every track ive dropped over an uhoh beat so they know whats good.

Serious.. head over there and drop. Just know this.. they are response natzis.. so anything you post make sure you drop reply links or they will lock ur thread... its good but ncs is way more layed bak in that aspect

[uh-oh]

yea they locked my shit with the last tape i dropped becausr i didnt meticulously breakdown there shit in my feedback lol

but word good looking out bro. the tape will be done pretty much whem the arts done. thats how far hes gotten since sunday. still has to draw me and finish it up. thats just a close up of the drum machine because thats what he has drawn but ill be in it fully at least my upper half

keepin it simple black and white basicaly just ink on a white backdrop

[uh-oh]

but word @Dre im not looking for rappers. ive got dope dudes wanting beats and shit already. i just want more views downloads and shit like that. more exposure. im more of a fan of licensing my shit as background music than working with artists

but people need to come across it for that

[Geno]

That joints fire bro. Specially if homeboy drew it up. I thought that was just somethinb u found on the net. Dope

And were. Theyre natzis like that until youve become more familiar with everyone. Then it lightens up a little

[Mr. J]

don't run from me @Genocide :(

[Amen.]

word..

That's why I said spam craiglist. People on that shit religiously.

I'm sure you'll get listens, possibly even a few purchases.

But at least it will bring some exposure to your material, the more people click and listen, if that's what you're looking for.

[Geno]

Lol @Mr. J
I didnt understand what you meant. Still not sure what your saying lol

[Mr. J]

Lets collab or something bro...I'm bored

[Sharp]

Yeah I got a thought

Send me shit so you can have the hottest basslines

Then I tell a few people

That's like 10 views right there

[Amen.]
