Mixtape 101

We exist in a world where everyone thinks they are a music artist and should release a mixtape / album. I came accross a few pointers recently on the web.

Presently the Mixtape market is very over saturated. There are too many mixtape projects being released freely into the marketplace without any defined purpose or mission. The end result is nothing but clutter!

CLUTTER MUSIC equals Sub par, mediocre, throw away music. And this is what most rappers are putting on their mixtapes.

“Clutter music” clogs up the market place and brings down the intrinsic and monetary value of other quality music in it’s lane.

The sad thing is that most indie rappers have no idea why they’re giving away their music for free. They are just following everyone else. SMH.

And the fact is that Most Rap fans don’t want FREE music. They want GOOD music that appeals to their emotions. And they will pay for it if it’s marketed right.

There’s a big difference between FREE music & GOOD music and some rappers confuse the two. Give the fans what they want and they’ll show support.
