In this Mixtape Marketing Podcast Episode #16, I introduce you to Demarcus Thornton from Getrightmusic.com mixtape and hip hop blog. [2:01}
Demarcus has been in the music business for a long time and has seen all the ways how up and coming artists are trying to promote their music online.
I brought him on the show just to give us an insight on what a mixtape site and hip hop blog can do for rap artists today. 4;33
I was very curious to get his insight to see what the proper procedure is on How to Get your music on hip hop blogs and how to get featured on these rap blogs.
Wondering If getting featured on rap blogs was worth the time and effort.
Demarcus prides Getrightmusic also very personal blog with independent rap artists. 8:22
His staff likes to build relationships with artists, that look like they have placed real effort in the marketing of their own music.
Getrightmusic provides a lot of services that are free of charge for independent rappers but also has options for those that want to pay for a higher quality of service and guidance.
His mixtape site and the rap blog isn't as big as the live mixtapes or datpiff hotnehiphop, but places more focus on the music and the artist compared to other popular mixtape blogs that focus a lot of on gossip. [@ 14:38 ]
What are hip hop blogs looking for in an artist?
To get you music featured on hip hop blogs and to get your music heard now the day you need to be consistent.
You need to be able to prove to these music blogs that you have motivated your own music too.
These hip hop blogs want 1 thing, and that is traffic to their website.
If you can prove that you have some sort of following or music promotion strategy, these rap blogs will more than likely feature your music on their websites. @[21:01]
The main problem Demarcus sees with up and coming rappers they just have music with no plan of how to promote it. We understand that music marketing is not everyone's strongest, but you have to have some sort of plan to release the mixtape. [29:44]
One of the best things a rap artist can do is to build a small team of people that will help him or her with the marketing.
I rappers don't have the budget to do this then they need to start hustling and find collaborators so that in the future they can build their own team.
You have to learn the basics of music marketing and music marketing to get people to listen to your music.
The gatekeepers of the music industry are though and you need a thick skin to survive. If you really want to submit your music to hip-hop blogs, start building relationships with writers of these mixtapes sites rap blogs.
