    For the past 4 years up until this year, I've been procrastinating a lot. Due to factors in my personal life and my lack of confidence in my own music, I haven't really done anything with it. This year I decided to snap out of it and get my grind on. I'm starting small now, but I got a movement behind me. Just need some finances and a bigger fanbase, and I can get things rolling. 25 btw.

    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.


    honestly thats the game right there ... everyone starts off wack and unknown ... only the strong will make it past that point tho ... but thats hip hop everyone goes thru it .... even guys like Jayz ... so your not going to be exempt ....!!!!!!!! thats the "challenge" of the game outside of the other bs you gotta deal with on your come up

    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.

    thats whats up lil nigglett lol keep grinding your on the right path and got your whole life in front of you ....

    This is A.G.Cubano. He used to be in front of hella different types of clubs and bars on cold ass San Francisco nights. From hip hop to house clubs. My patna was into different types of music. So I would run into A.G. quite often. While I was passing out flyers for different events he was passing out flyers n selling CDs.

    A.G.%20Cubano%20-%20Shase%20Paper.jpg

    now he's Maybach Music Latino. I enjoy watching the grind.....

    in a sense its a good thing ...

    ive been fortunate enuff to not have to think like an artist ... and got to analyze alot of why people do what they do ...

    but @ the end of the day your town isnt much different from any other town or city accross america ... imo we only differ by population ...

    but imo take advantage of those insecurities that you see ... ie ... i did alot of parties cause i notice the local promoters were getting

    more love than the local artist were (really local artist were getting no love) ... strictly cause they thru parties and could possibly get you
    in the parties for free if you happen to befriend that local promoter .... and what i really found out most people just want to hang around

    the guy or girl who knows where its poppin @ ... every party i did i had @least 4-5 chicks around me ... just to be around me ... imagin what

    i could do with that kind of love as an artist ... its fake ... but if your an artist trying to make moves ... TAKE ADVANTAGE OF IT !!!!!!

    What do you want me to add?

    all my songs get views plays and d/l's

    I actually have people off the IC listening to my tracks...

    My first mixtape was a d/l

    my next one will be a d/l and a solid copy I would sell for 3$

    Im going to copy 200CDs and push em and if I can sell em fast then I'll copy another 200.



    I would do shows cause that's a good way to get a fanbase.

    Can't say I haven't had hoop dreams w/ this rap ?

    but now it's more therapeutic than anything
    cuz I'd say about 90% of the time when I'm listening to music it's some ? I did (beats or songs)


    Ima re-record "808 & Smoke Breaks"
    finish "Rap Or Die: My Life On The Line"


    then I'm retiring from rap (like I've done something lol) & jus gonna focus on these beats, cuz I love makin a beat more than writing a rap lately

    I have a home recording set-up that I use and invite anyone down to use, (not a lot of people have this equipment I guess) and that allows me to network with different artists, groups, and fans through working with that person. The internet is important because I feel it's the first stepping stone to something bigger, as a lot of the other promotional stuff just takes along time. As for selling music out of the trunk, I feel like that's a dying trend.

    I make damn good beats (98% of them sample free) and don't give them to anybody. None of that trap style ? either. I let people hear them though. I'm just looking for a rapper I actually believe in to put them behind.
