Moss: Any suggestions on how a newcomer should get their music placed on radio, clubs etc?

Mic Wise:

• 1st of all the music has to be worhty of spins meaning quality of lyrics & sound has to be acceptable before any true musician/music lover will give your music any air time.
• 2nd get ya songs in the hands of the Dj’s they have the power to break your record to the general public. Dj’s cover alot of ground locally, as well as regionally…from clubs, parties & mixtapes. A must to build relationships.
• 3rd promote….promote….PROMOTE. Get out in the city….stay in their faces!!! College campuses R an ideal place to start…highly populated with open minded & influencial ppl. If u create a buzz…they’ll request it on campus thus creating a DEMAND for your music.

Moss: Where do you see yourself in the next 5 years?

Mic Wise: In the next 5yrs I see myself being responsible for some of the most trendy art, hottest fashion, film & music
