Hey all,

I think most folks that read the forums know I've not grown up with Hip Hop, but recently I've been trying to broaden my listening. I've listened to a lot of the Hip Hop on the site and have put together a radio station featuring some of my favorites Hip Hop picks here:
http://www.unsignedbandweb.com/music/play.php?mode=radio&id=264
or see all radio stations here
http://www.unsignedbandweb.com/music/bands/1424/radio.php

Again, I'm coming at this as a Hip Hop "newbie", but the playlist reflects some of the stuff I found grooving, or particularly interesting or musical. I plan to update the playlist over time, but I wanted to hightlight the artists on the initial playlist.

Could be a good thing?! If they been signed that is......don't know if our publisher would approve (that's if he knew we were here handing it out for free!) but till we get signed I'd rather UBW got to hear it first. After we get signed will no doubt have to yank everything off........and then set up an alter-ego to keep on getting the real people's opinions. Beats getting smoke blown up your arse by A&R anyday! Wink

UBW is primarily my hangout, but if I was a band I'd want promo mp3 to be out there anyhow. Why fight so hard to get music heard on radio but not make it available online? BTW - many bands disable the download feature if you don't want people emailing your tunes around the world.

Some labels won't ask you to pull y' music. After all it's free promotion...the love anything with the word FREE in it. Just disable the download like Smili said.

Yep. That's me. jj love or janetjackson love. If you tired of these rap cats with all their drama, come and chill with with a suave singer like myself. Listen to my single, Nobody loves you (like I do), and relax.

Secret Society Sound is a pretty solid hip-hop group. Nice grooves, especially Kabal - Waisted.
