If u got no real fans and are just starting out dont post snippets and then drop it later, drop your song then make a vid to it and post

[@Windyiswanted]

@@Nigel80uno great clarification 💯

[@deadroses6666]

bra ive been posting snippets then dropping nd the snip got more views than the actual song i've been doing it wrong

[@Nyxcovert]

Ts hard 😂

[@lanceanese]

😂 I be telling folks this and they be calling me stupid like be fr u posting snippets talm bout “100 likes n 30 comments and I will drop” like they got fans

[@BondorX]

Needed this 7 years ago

[@Windyiswanted]

Start now slime

[@afewmil]

also dont sleep on refining your sound (yk music starting of as a hobby first) then dropping every now and then, then once u get to a point id say yea start dropping to raise your chances. i jus hate hearing rushed sounds and unfinished music because i can relate especially, ive taken too much time jus building my sound to now be in this phase now so yea. i deadass feel like mfs be uncomfortable wit they own shi cuz they know it doesnt "compete" (it is subjective) but they still drop, like bro jus take your time. W vid. W 400 subs too btw

[@kyeneoffearth]

once u get tuah point ??

[@6ixdoc]

yo wsp twin, im ngl I've been in the underground for about 4 years and i started when i was 13. i had highs and lows multiple times and 1 thing i would recommend is also trying to drop at least 1 time per week and promo that song before and a lil bit after you drop it (also try to keep away from dropping to much eps/albums cs the solo tracks will help you blow up a lil more)

[@shadowxtulhybridtheoryep]

I feel like this advice isn't even only for underground rappers. this can apply to any up and coming artist, and that's honestly better tbh.

[@lanceanese]

Collaborating with producers help to especially if they have a yt channel n they put yo name on type beats u get fans like that too dont see nb talking about that

[@nnearkira]

[@WickedPawndotcom]

I have a website for my music because imho it stands out more than any content funnel for the type of fans I want to reach. It really does feel like nowadays all you have to do is stand out and the more aspects of your name that stands out will compound. I know there's methods and I know there's mistakes but if you know something is going to work don't expect it to last

[@Genki.Z7]

Dang the dreadheads are putting me on game, I'd better listen.

what if you more chopped than Dabo, and you can’t do snippets

[@Windyiswanted]

@@Juneofive77 put some video of a Nga dancing and use ur song in the back

[@twinuhm]

Being chopped is way better then not because 95% of people on TikTok, instagram etc are attractive so you will stand out

[@seffuncken]

how u more chopped than dabo gang it cant be that bad 😭 no hate towards dabo tho he fire

@@EV1LJ0RDANS never compare slime

[@lonelyvmp]

The first advice is good but you’d be surprised how many small rappers with 200-1000 followers (and prods) charge for EVERYTHING. It’s impossible to find genuine and realistic ppl

[@ogtrueskate]

what beat is on intro ?

[@Pârtiii333]

🗣️🗣️🗣️yessir🫡

[@HeIsEternal-]

I already lost the making friends part and promotion . I’m an extremely anxious person and very antisocial. 😂 I’ll get a vibe to go all in then I listen to someone else’s song and get bummed out then say fuck it and watch anime instead of record ☠️

[@WickedPawndotcom]

My reasoning is that I started making music with the people that taught me FL studio and over time as I got more excited they started caring less and less all the while one of them still wants to act like a teacher and act like they know what they're talking about and then when you hear their music you're just like damn that was trash

[@Prodbykashie]

Rule number 5 don’t have a ego at 2000 - 10k followers

[@WickedPawndotcom]

Yeah u right u need to have it waaaaay earlier than that 😭

@@prod3kero that’s cause u gotta work on ur sound. Make sure u have good enough music or good enough beats so that people can fw you. And also look for people in ur genre too, discord is a great place to connect

Rap has been out since the 70s gang, there's no possible way to find a "new" flow that hasnt already been accomplished in todays musical world. Everybody copies everybody even Jay-Z copied a flow before he blew up now look at em twin..
