The love for mixtapes will always be here . The fans love to get offered free music from there favorite artist . Rappers also use the mixtape game in order to stay current . If fans don’t hear from artist in a long time, sometimes that emcee name will die if you didn’t have any skills . Mixtapes are the key  to stopping that from occurring  . “How To Be An MC” was a mixtape series created  by producer named “J.Armz.” J.Armz  has been putting out this mixtape for new rappers to use. I have recently discovered another mixtape series that’s same to “J.Armz.” This mixtape is called “How 2 Be An Emcee” it was created  by an  emcee   named “Kurty Durty.” Instead of  making   a whole mixtape full with instrumentals , he raps over the  beats provided by “J.Armz.” The young kid is a very talented emcee , I can see Kurty Durty with a major deal in the near future. Mixtapes can help promote your career in a massive way. Take the new artist J.Cole for an example. he started with one mixtape, it was so good, that it landed him a deal . I’m sure it happened for more than just him, but he blew up within a couple months. If that isn’t inspiration, then I don’t know what is. Mixtapes are very significant to boosting your career. You want to make a good impression the first time, don’t just throw out any home made music. Make sure the songs sounds a little professional, I recommend using pro tools to record your music . What I don’t recommend is giving away free distorted music , where all the levels on the verses are off. You want the audience to come back to your music, not run away.
You can shapea wide fan base with one mixtape. Let’s be honorable, people love free music, that’s why they download it. Don’t be afraid to give away free music, take Lil Wayne for an example. Lil Wayne has given away tons of free music and remains the most relevant rapper in the game currently. Mixtapes are a big key to your success, don’t sell yourself short. I can assure you that using website like “www.datpiff.com” and www.thatcrack.com will create you a good buzz in the industry.Making it in music right now is not an easy task, everybody wants to be a rapper. Everybody wants to be a rapper, but everybody can’t rap, it’s as elementary as that. The reason it’s so hard because A&R’s are tired of running into the ones that can’t rap. It makes it hard for the ones that can rap. Every once in a while, a hot MC get his big break, but not very often. If you have raw talent and truly believe you can make it, then don’t stop for no one. Continue to pursue your dream, I’m rooting for you.
