Thats where the money's at. Thats what I'm going for. I could care-less if I get some dap around the hood. I want BIG Checks. I wont sell out though. I want to win awards for my talent. Underground Street credibilty is cool but most cats that aint commercial aint got much money. Fuck that! I'm tryin' to get paid. If you work at Mcdonalds, why would you work there? Is it to have street credibilty for making the best burgers? No, its for the money ..... This aint no different. Its not a hobby, its my life and I don't work for free.

I don't worry about radio play, although I wantit. I just want to do good music. Tha air is where tha money at. But without tha good music you can't get on tha air. If you got you skillz you'll get there. Dj low2 what part of philly you from. Have you ever tried to get on 99?

1 play doesn't do much, except for boosting the ego.
It doesn't matter how good you are, unless you choreograph a massive call-in WHILE you have a record representative in town for you it might make a budge if you are an unknown. Usually the record label will call the stations and look into how "real" a call-in was, and if there is continuous support for the song. If you have a song that is played and it can be tracked officially by AirCheck you might make headway. That all involves significant investment.
Radio promotion is big business, undercutting a lot of the small people. A song in the USA usually has 1 million dollars in independent or label promotion behind it, depending on how the record company splits the costs between its own in-house department and the indie promoter that is subcontracted.
I could get into specifics if anyone desires.
Sincerely,
God
