Strait up 5 Tips that Effectively and/or Independently Manage Your Publicity

As an Independent artist of the DJ persuasion, I can attest to the importance of media visibility. It is how I get jobs and prove to talent brokers who may not be familiar with what I do, that I'm recognized as a taste-maker and a topic expert and as such they should pay what I'm worth. For me, it's super important that I get good publicity, and have a good reputation because that is how I get booked.

5 Tips that Effectively and/or Independently Manage Your Publicity:

Do the research

Research the places and people you send your art to. Make sure your music matches the station/show's format. Internet radio may not require clean music. Terrestrial radio stations usually are FCC compliant and need clean music. Depending on where you send them and who you send them to, there are different requirements and preferences that would increase the likelihood of air play. Do yourself a favor and do the research.

Fish where the fish are

College, internet, community and public radio stations are most likely to play your music and do interviews. Corporate stations require more things in order to put you on their station so you will have more success submitting to said media outlets.

As an inaugural posting here on Underground Central, can we take it back in the day for a moment... It just feel appropriate to begin with Do you know this man?Its an old picture i know but he doesn't look any different. #Blackdontcrack.  Albeez 4 Sheez. Odds are you know about me because of him.  I'm sure you might have heard of him as a rapper/entertainer, DJ, event/TV show host, dancing machine, international man of jokes, mystique and shenanigans. I bet he might have even put you on a time or two and at the very least you have seen him preform at any number of venues in the area and outside of the state. If you haven't seen him preform you are clearly missing out.  Really, how did you miss him? He's any where that hip hop thinks about going in the city and opened the door at venues that had not invited hip hop in. Señor 4sheez produces the BOXX for crying out loud? THE BOXX!!!!!!

 If I haven't seen him do it, I'd be questioning if he sleeps.....and was he sleeping when I saw him? Or was he just laying there with his eyes closed, making pretend snore noises waiting for me to sleep so he can get up and rap, or dance or write jokes or edit film or create a dance thats bigger than dabbing OR other wise do something productive! Albeez, why would you  joke with out me? i love jokes and I'm funny as fuck!!!!! Also I DJ and we could be doing DJ shit together. I'm just saying.
