As i was riding and listening to DJ Analyze do his rush hour mix and i heard a artist named Da Phuture (*Spelling) and then come to find out that another artist on Raheem’s label 36b Music Group. Out of all the labels or those that call themselves “labels” i honestly respect their approach to this music s***. As a independent its tough to get heard but they are definitely getting their records to radio to expand their audience.

Da Phuture is the second artist to get burn and from 368 (Phil Ade to be first). Some indie artist and labels say “F*** Radio” and yeah that’s cool but if you can get it on radio…..why not? Ok ok ok I know and we know its about relationships but the record your pushing has to actually be GOOD ENOUGH for radio. And the record by the Phuture is format ready and good enough for the radio/mix show.

The internet is only going to take you so far and as i know the radio can open you up to SO MANY MORE listeners you couldn’t reach via internet.

GOOD indie labels are far and few in between and 368 is a GOOD one. Some other indie labels in the area, haven’t and couldn’t get their artist on the radio if they were tried paying (PAYOLA). But those labels will remain nameless because well……we are going to keep this post CLEAN!
