On this episode of artist advice we discuss the various ways that you can promote yourself offline. Not everyone will find your music or art online, so you have to be creative and open to new experiences.
Note: This episode was recorded prior to the protests during quarantine.
The world is literally on fire at the moment and they say the show must go on but in this case I think we all need to pause for a second. The show cannot go on at the moment. I have made the easy decision to pause ALL projects for the time being. I do not take being part of the hip hop community lightly and I have witnessed racism in my own life. I’ve dated many black men in my life and with my own eyes seen racial discrimination with police, at the workplace, in school etc. Many times had I not been there, the situation would have escalated. I may go in depth on my experiences at some point but now is not the time to make this about me.
Now is the time to fight for real, lasting change in the world. I am with the fight and I hope you understand why I’ve made this decision. When the dust settles and we begin to rebuild, I will be here to review and promote your music again. But for now, we need to focus on justice for all black men and women.
This week we talk about the various ways to network in the industry. Stay tuned for a potential part two.
Today we head back over to Vegas for the song Party Favors which is said to be the new summer anthem (if we can even go anywhere during the summer).
The song and artists are brought to us by the Slaps on Deck production team. They are originally from San Diego, CA but are currently based in Las Vegas. The team was founded in 2017 by Notch P and Fashow and focuses on West Coast talent.
Party Favors Review
Song Title: Party Favors Artists Names: Daygo Matt, Slim 400, Paper Chaser
The song is a bit rough around the edges. The artist on the first verse just needs to work on his breathing and delivery. Second verse I would work on the inflection of the voice. Verse three the artist seems the most well prepared. As far as production value the beat is well put together and is set up to be a summer vibe. The lyrical content also aligns with the themes of partying and summer vibes. Take a listen for yourself and let me know your thoughts by checking the song out here: Spotify Youtube
