So what is new out there for this week? Well lets see there's Rhymefest's "Blue Collar" album. Rhymefest once again is another rapper, who is better lyrical and has more to say then 90 percent of the rappers out there. So why doesn't he get any radioplay/love? Well it's simple, the labels don't promote their artists properly. I always wonder what exactly do the record labels do? If I was a running a label and had artist, who I believed is better then most of the artists out there, I would be promoting the crap out of them. I would be making phone calls to MTV, radio stations, and the magazines out there. I would have a street team with flyers, and now that were in the year 2006. I would promote using the internet as spreading the word via blogs such as this one. It must not be as simple as I think. Cause if you were the label wouldn't you be following this plan. Well maybe the traditional ways of promoting i.e. MTV involves what the kids say "payola". Now I don't doubt for a minute that this tactic is a big part of the music business. Never the less this can be changed and this website is out to do that! So how you ask? My goal is to promote artists that I feel in my humble opinion that are putting out quality music. So from this point on I will set out to keep my ears to the "streets" to what is out there. I will tell you what you should be checking for and hopefully get you to go out buy the album!
