ARTIST SPOTLIGHT: Boogey Robinson - Come Shine





CHI:  Quite possibly 1 of the dopest artists in my city is Boogey. Boogy Robinson drops a conscience banger with the new "Come Shine". I find that some artist's have natural the soul to pull of the level of dopeness! On "Come Shine" Boogey attempts to shine the mirror in the eyes of rappers, fans, the industry, and society iteself. All done over a smooth beat for the upcoming EP "27 Miles".



"Trayon Kyibahri Robinson (born December 19, 1987), better known by his stage name as Boogey Robinson (Often stylized BoOgEy RoBiNsOn™), is an American Hip-Hop recording artist from Chicago, Illinois.


In May 2012, Boogey announced that he would teach himself how to Rap and that he would be forming a Rapgroup, Known as GRINDorDIE. with his Cousin Yessir. In January 2013, Boogey announced the Group had been dissolved due to creative differences.


With his originality and creativity, as well as the emotion he conveys in his music, Boogey has amassed a large cult-like following among high school & college students."

I HATE REVERBNATION... BUT ITS VERY USEFUL


-www.reverbnation.com
When I first discovered Reverbnation.com 3 years ago, I thought it was a nice platform to promote my music. I thought "Hey I can upload my pics, music, videos". Reverbnation has been the best true music social media network. Though, it has it's faults here's why if used right, Reverbnation can change an artist's career!   
By now you must be confused by the title of this article and ask yourself how can I hate something this cool? Over those years I began noticing that I stopped by the site less and less. Here are few reasons why I stopped updating my reverb account:



  • Confusing Home Page
  • Navigation is to jumbled
  • Not Good for network in real time
  • So many inactive accounts 
  • Nobody checks their inboxes
  • Too many gadgets
  • Media player has errors when you embed into personal blog
  • Facebook and twitter makes it waaay easier to network live with others 


Realizing the things I hate about reverbnation have just made me change-up how I use it. There are still some great features that are very useful for independent artists. Reverbnation has 1 of the largest and most detailed list of musicians, DJ's, venues, and opportunities all around the world. I choose to use it as my own personal Roledex.  







The artist list was essential in constructing my 1st regional tour last year. Reverb has a powerful local database that allows you to search by city, by country, and genre. 
I was able to network with like-minded artists in nearby cities simply by making a targeted search. Then I reached out to all of them 1 by 1 on other sites like facebook and twitter.









That's just 1 movement you can launch using Reverbnation. There's also a Gig Finder that has a full list of local venues anywhere in the world you wanna rock! Again it's best to reach out to venue owners off of the site: phone, email, fb, or twitter. - @babyfacemonster















HOW TO USE NEW WRISTBANDS TO BOOST MUSIC DOWNLOADS




This is probably the coolest way I've found to sell cds at your next event! This year, CDbaby has come out with these dope wristbands that you can customize to drive your fans to download your new single, mixtape, or album.






How many times have you woke up with a slight hangover from a good night of clubbin to find that you still are rocking the wristband or stamp on your hand that the doorman placed on you upon entry of the club? It happens alot to me lol...


Why not use that as a way to market your music and drive downloads? 


I plan on experimenting with this for my next album listening party. Instead of using the same old generic hand stamp I plan on rewarding fans by having my doorman to place my new album on the hands of everyone who pays for entry of the event. 


Throughout the live show I'll make announcements to everyone in attendance that the music they are hearing live tonight can be purchased (or free downloaded) from their wristbands. I'll leave them with the choice to buy the hard copy of my album which I'll be selling at the event all night or download the next morning at home when they're semi-sober.  - @babyfacemonster


To get your own wristbands order here.

6 BLOGGERS SHARE KNOWLEDGE ON MUSIC SUBMISSION


 
While writing my new book "Digital Hustle", I had the rare opportunity to speak with blog owners across the US. They shed some light on the Do's & Dont's of blog submission. Hopefully these tips will be helpful to independent artist's looking to gain music more exposure. 
 
 
 
 
 
___________________________________________________________










Q: What is a good way to get your attention?



A: The best advice to artist looking to get their music posted on my site would be to have information organized in submissions, good music and keeping your grind consistent.

 
 
Q: Would you say you'd post an organized artist alot faster than an un-organized artist?

 A: Absolutely! I get so many e-mails and it's easy to miss the more unorganized ones, so an artist who takes the initiative to be organized is showing that he/she is serious about what they do.
 


-Curtis Carey www.chicityhiphop.net

Q: How do you feel when an idiot sends you an email without properly using "Bcc" showing the 100 other blogs it forwarded to?


A: This is a major NO NO. I get these emails often. An artist sends me their bio/tracks to me along with 30 or more other people. This is just a lazy way to get your music heard. I understand you will send your music to several people. Look at it like this. If you send your resume to 30 different companies in one email, do you really think you will get a response??? Hell no! All the people I know, along with myself, just DELETE the email every time and flag it as spam. You just blackballed yourself. 





Q: What is a good way to get your attention?


A: Be original and humble - accept criticism - not to big in the head to listen.





-CrunkAtlanta, www.promotewho.com




 ___________________________________________________________








Q: What is a good way to get your attention?



A: As a magazine, we're always looking for clients with a unique and international brand. Throughout the arts community we've noticed an amazing untapped resource of talent who have taken their brands to the next level independently. When someone is passionate about what they do, they not only represent it well, they tend to stay in your mental, even after the experience is over; they encourage you to want to know more.



This industry is so competitive that whatever you do needs to be done at the most professional and attractive level possible; may it be music, fashion, art, modeling, entrepreneurship, etc. Artists who are trendsetters, out-of-the-box thinkers, and create something that we haven't seen before get our attention the most. A loyal fanbase and an attractive website/portfolio tends to go hand-in-hand and should be the main focus for any newbies on the scene.



Independent media is a great tool for creators in the arts. Support all avenues of promotion and always be sure to network with those in the industry who take an interest in your talent.

Q: What is a good way to get your attention?



A: The best way to get my attention is to create your own lane and attract my attention. Creating a following on your own is so important. Simply emailing me with your new music will 99% of the time not even get opened up. There is just too much of that going on. You need to be creative and have a different marketing plan set.



Q: How many people write for your site & how much time do you personally invest blogging per/wk?


A: Currently there are 5 people who write for the Get Right Music. We are always looking for more content creators. Personally, I invest about a few hours per day to blogging, but my attention is always on the site, so an exact number would be hard to state.



–Jesse, GetRightMusic.com

Q: What advice can you give for an artist looking to get posted on your site?


A: When posting to my site, DigitizedHiphop.com. Send an individual email not a "BCC" to make it more personal. Also send your music in a "Sound Cloud" format or "You Tube", to digitizedhiphop@gmail.com.

-Shawn, Digitizedhiphop.com



 
 
___________________________________________________________
 




Q: What advice can you give an artist to get posted on your site?


A: My advice for an artist trying to get posted on the site is to make sure you include information about yourself and the music in a clear and concise manner. If I have no standing relationship, make sure to introduce yourself and not just send me a song. Many sites have different forms that they require to have the music sent to them but including an attached MP3 and a place to stream it online will probably cover almost any site's requirements. I don't always have time to download every mixtape I receive but I do listen to everything.

TOP 10 WEBSITES FOR HIPHOP PROMO


 

How do you promote music on social media? That’s a good question. The answer varies from site to site. There’s no easy shortcut to networking online, but it needs to be done, because the benefits are huge!  
 


· It's cheap


· Touch other continents from the couch


· Build Buzz


· Boost Sales


· Search Engine Optimization


· Raise exposure Level


· Become a tastemaker
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Now that you know what's to gain, here's a list of sites you should be heavy on, & how to use them: 


 
 
 
 

1. FACEBOOK
Current Users: 1.1 Billion



I love you fb! The marketing strategies are endless.  Facebook is so popular, because it’s just an all-around cool place to go. It’s where you can keep in contact with family, friends, old high school buddies and a host of other random people. What most people don’t realize is facebook is also a good place to get people interested in your music, book shows, promote an events, coordinate plans, and network with 100’s of your peers without even trying.






2. TWITTER
Current Users: 500 Million
You know what twitter does. It's a direct contact to just about anybody on the planet Earth. In addition to just plain networking on twitter users can compile "Lists". Lists allows users interact strategically with other users based upon their job titles.






3. HOOTSUITE
Current Users: 6 Million



Hootsuite is the bridge between 5 different social media networks. It allows users to easily manage twitter, facebook, google+, foursquare, & linkedIn. It's a life saver. You can post new music simultaneously to all sites & even set calendar to automate you year's music marketing campaign!    





4. LINKEDIN
Current Users: 225 Million
LinkedIn is like facebook for businesses. It's the ultimate place to network, because it's the 1 platform where you can quickly identify who everyone is. On LinkedIn your profile is your resume. It's a place to find like minded people, promote your brand, get a job, get a sponsorship, find a partner, ect. 
 
 
 


5. GOOGLE+
Current Users: 343 Million


Google+ is a facebook copycat. The reason it's #5 is simply, because of how many google users there out are. Almost everyone has a gmail account or searches using google.com therefore creating content on the same network makes for great SEO rankings for you or whatever you are promoting. 






6. INSTAGRAM
Current Users: 130 Million
I'm not big on Instagram, but it is quickly becoming a trendy platform to promote. Instagram allows users to upload photo & easily add dope effects. After photos are tweeked users can then share with built-in Instagram community or share with the world!






7. REVERBNATION
Current Users: 3 Million

Reverbnation is a 1 stop shop for artists of all genres. It is the best social media network specifically for the promotion of independent musicians worldwide. Here users can make a profile, share new music, promote events, find events, find local opportunities, & there's even a large directory of local & national artists ranked by popularity & buzz.  






8. *NEW* MYSPACE
Current Users: 33 Million

Myspace almost didn't make this list, but I saw a commercial the other day that changed my mind. They've gutted the old useless navigation & replaced it with a new sleek design. Myspace is the original social media network geared towards music promotion & it's on a comeback! More info here.






9. SOUNDCLOUD
Current Users: 180 Million
Soundcloud is an unique music social network that allows you to easily upload your new music then share with Soundcloud's built-in community or share with the world!






10. TUMBLR
Current Users: 216 Million




 
Tumblr lets user create their own blog, website, or artist site using cool templates. The good thing about promoting here is that you can make your own posts to share with the built-in Tumblr community or the world!
