MC C.B. the brand.

Whats my edge, its a question many many people have asked. In short its a fancy way of asking,"how can you be marketed?". Its a bit crude and i cant help but feel objectified at the very idea of being "sold", alas Que sera sera. I choose to do music as a professional and this is what professionals do.



As an underground rapper, it is hard doing all the things that need to be done with only yourself to look at if things go array. Recording, performance, and the ways things are going, production all fall on my lap. This creates a lot of issues, aside from the simple fact that im only human. I have reached out to my manger on the subject. I have yet to receive word, but the tone a context of my email was simple.

We must try Harder.

Its the only way i can create an "edge" for myself. My music honestly means nothing in the eyes of the public, They dont KNOW me. So they dont care enough to buy a ticket or spend time checking out my music. Only through various promotions will i be able to gain real fans, and some sort of "edge".



SO i must do something to make me known, a few ideas a podcast, giving music away for free. Basic things but nothing that can help me on the level that i need it to.

Depressed is the lost artist, trying to find his way.

  1. Wow, powerful man. I can definitely relate. Trying to get people to notice you so that you can get those other people with the big checkbooks to notice you is frustrating.

  2. So true. It would be fun to open this up by asking your blog fans to suggest ways you could get noticed.
    Hmmm? Have you considered going platinum? Blond.
    Just kidding, if I had the answer, all my books would be published by now.
