It's time to drop that next single or service the community with a new beat pack but question is how do you get the word out? If you haven't built a significant audience and not just social media how do you effectively make an impact? The answer indeed is found in your marketing plan and the budget baby! This is normally where the conversation goes left and stories of having it or not is constantly brought up. Well do you have at least $30?
Never before has anyone held the title of “Tight 32 Champion” as long as Naj Murph. Each month since January 2018, Naj has been entering the Tight 32 Contest declaring his spot on the throne. The combination of his New York attitude and high-caliber bars definitely make for entertaining and engaging music.
The Tight 32 Emcee and Producer Contest is entering its third year. I wanted to share where I think the gifted are missing their shot at maximizing the opportunities presented through the IdOMUSIC & Patchwerk Recording Studios platform.
August is a month for planning and executing the blueprint for the Fall. We are entering the last quarter of the year and as we start to take tally of our wins and losses there is an important question to answer: "What is next for me?"
The follow up to our Tight 32 Finale which took place back in January finally aired this past week on The Complex Network. The monthly contest united all the winners from 2016 and battled it out in Patchwerk Recording Studio's A Room called Studio 9000. Our Tight 32 engineer Latrez McClam loaded up each artist matched with producer to recite their 32 bars. Every artist was able to receive the tracks days in advance before the session so nothing but bars were being served.
As we prepare for our contest today it is important for us to share the stories of the winners who grace our platform. This month we had a couple of milestones take place. The producer segment featured our first female producer hailing from Brooklyn, NYC who is not new to winning trophies as well as a talented emcee from Ahoskie, NC winning the contest at our first live Tight 32 performance. What I mean by live is we hosted the competition at our monthly showcase IdOMUSIC at Apache Cafe and let the audience decide the winner. Shout out to Rodrick R.O.C and Ms.Madli for representing. Check out their interviews below and come see them rock the stage at Opera Nightclub tonight!
In preparation for our upcoming IdOMUSIC TV programming we will conduct a casting call seeking personalities, host, and djs. It is important for us to find the talented individuals who have a love for music and love to engage in conversation when ever possible. This is what we do on a daily and excited to bring others into our world.
The monthly contest designed for hip hop producers and emcees took place Thursday, November 17th at the legendary Patchwerk Recording Studios. 12 emcees signed up and only a few were able to complete the task of spitting 32 bars within the 15 minute time frame. The winner of our producer portion Kangaroo809 was the selected winner of the month beating out 12 other producers for the monthly title. This is actually Kangaroo's second time winning this year. Each emcee took a different approach and delivered heat. We want you to check out the verses and let us know who was the best out of the group. Simply leave comments below.
Finally a contest for emcees who's only crime is they can paint pictures effortlessly. The disclaimer I give every artist who comes in for our monthly contest conducted every last Thursday of the month is come correct. You are given 15 minutes to werk on thirty two bars with a professional engineer in a real session. Real session meaning you can punch in, stack your vocals, insert ad libs, and more. Whatever you gotta do to make your 32 bars legit is what we are focused on.
I created a video to outline how Patchwerk Recording Studios contest called That Tight Thirty Two On Thurzdayz werks. Let it be known this contest is for the emcees and producers who can bring the heat.
