Aye I was just wondering how do you guys promote yourselves outside of the world wide web?
If any of you do shows could you post some footage?
Any flyers you could share?
Are any of guys selling your product out the trunk infront of walmart?
Any interesting stories in regards to your career?

i guess i have a lil bit of a base, i have a FEW people that support me, the plan is to eventually press up some cd's and pass em out round here, prolly wont do shows in my town tho(too much violence), but maybe surrounding towns if possible, also gon try to see about gettin shirts with my crew's logo on it and tryna sell em to promote the brand, back when i was in a group we did pretty much the same minus the shirts, and we did a couple shows opening for hurricane chris and playa fly, but as far as solo, still gotta lot more work to do

Do you sale CDs?
I remember when I used to work for target I met this dude who was pushing his groups CD. He was from a town called Stockton which is a hour away from the Bay Area and Sacramento. This was like 2003. In 2008 I moved to Stockton. Seen a guy from the same group selling the same CD in front of a MetroPCS store. He was slight shocked when I told him I had copped his ? 5 years earlier a nice lil distance away. -

Nah, I ain't did that yet. Just trying to get some songs together for a set and hit the stage hard body. One of my high school class mates is on Warped Tour with his band right now and was like "spot on the bus for you bro." -

heres a few more independent stories I got.
A.G. Cubano is signed to MMG Latino. Before I was old enough to get into clubs I would just hit up joints with friends passing out flyers in San Francisco. I would see him in front of clubs passing out flyers and selling CDs. He also posted on another hiphop site. That ? ended up landing him a deal with MMG.
Berner is another artist from San Francisco. He's got a song/ video with Big K.R.I.T., Wiz Khalifa, and Chris Brown called "Y.O.K.O." He made a appearence in Drake's "Motto" video. Behind the scene footage E-40 says Young Money said they only wanted bosses in the video. He started off being called wack n ? . But he was able to do joint albums with Bay Area stars like The Jacka and Messy Marv. He also stayed n touch with fans/ haters on a hip hop forum site -

He own a cannabis club in San Francisco. Rumor is he started getting dope features for only a ounce of good ass weed.

Berner networking game is crazy. Went from being a joke to one of the top ? in the bay area music scene. All pretty much from networking. He put out collab albums with people who could carry his ass on the beat and it turned into a video on mtv and monthly videos on worldstarhiphop.

I wish the game and Chris Brown would post here...to see how much we clown them ? .

All rappers include your ages in your post

My crew & I get hard copies printed up for all of our projects. We don't sell them or anything though. We use it more so as a networking tool when out & about. A person you meet is a lot more likely to listen to your music if you have a physical copy to give them as opposed to just giving them a link or telling them to google/datpiff you; b/c you can never trust that they'll go home & do it or even remember to.
Besides, at this point money isn't even a motive for us musically. We just want to be heard. Keep providing dope tunes & the cash will follow.
As far as shows I do open mics whenever & wherever I can. I tried out & made it through for Apollo auditions last month. My Apollo performance is mid February.
I just turned 19 last week. -
Erthing he just said...Except the Apollo ? , and I'm 22...Got a open mic on the 16th...Poetry slam on the 11th...
