my brother and i signed up with The RapFest and have a bunch of promotional material in the works. one of the perks of the rapfest in particular is their cipher series that airs on mtv jams. they also blast songs and videos to affiliated blogs etc. so far it has gotten us some views and EP sales. performing a lot also helps. we've been slacking on that but it does wonders esp if you have merch to push at the time of performance.
