This has been stayin' in ma mind for long now i feel i should let it out & get ya opinions heads.

The idea is peops formin' street teams in there areas. hope y'all know what a treet team is?
A street team is an organization of few individuals whose job is to promote artists in there urban area.

Now this is how it's done, if an mcee has a job that is out in the market & want to sell it in some areas or towns, he can't really do that without the help of some people who are in the area & knows about the behaviour of the people about a particular music. Now, this street team will know how to reach out to individuals livin' in there area, thy must have schemes thru which they reach they people; a kinda underground or grass root marketin'.

street teams know what sells & how to sell to some people & knows the music that appeals to some people. Before this team is formed, i think little aducation on marketin' need to be aquired & idea on how to set up a street team can be gotten in the web. It's done in the states & i think, naija is a better place to do this cos it's gonna help som individual artists who don't have the chance & are not favoured by this our so called marketers.


Am always mad to know that some peoples music don't reach in some areas where peops are hungryin' for it.........on how to make money with it, i'll psot bit up later after surfin' the web on the issue.

a street team already exists in nigeria.its name is FAST TRACK ENTERPRISES.
this is a network of a "runners" that has been built over the years.
presently certain labels and artists are already using the outfit to push their works and image more directly to the grassroots.
it also has a pool of dj's and on -air-presenters that it has established a friendly relationship.
any serious artist is adviced to hire the services of Fast Track.

i honestly thought those typo isht ezisted in lag or PH or some of them big cities that got lots of rappers
but where i'm @ we dont have that personally i'd love to organize such but men it's like impossible in my area
i'd give a left arm to be in a real live cipher :lol:
just kidding if i did what the ufck would i hold the mic in?

[mr rehd]

no bribe..maybe payola for some dj's(wat can i say naija sucks!!).
i'll leave to have ur own experiences trying to do wat u gotta do to get ur self heard.
just know say for naija some people dont give a shit how hot ur shit is...they'll just sit it unless it becomes a runaway hit.
"SERIOUS" means willing to invest in themselves.

[apopyalips]

dr rhed....it's nice though but on the payol ish, it's normal cos that's how it's done in other countries
@therapaddict: meyn, i'll like to when i finish ma ish....just finished ma programme & i'll be hittin' the lab to finalize ish.


why don't we kick start this street team ish in our area..shit is a hustle, there're many ways to publicize ish & sell, it's all about puttin' heads down & thinkin' about it......

Now, if y'all will agree, we can form a AHH street team.....we can be the board of directos whateva & map out strategies to do it am ready anytime......

some schemes are:

t shirts
hand bills
graffiti
organizin' shows
hokin' up with radio DJ's & PJs'
& more

[nebuchadnezzar]

@ apo**lips,u kno that's some true talk,it's time somethin start off somewhere far from Alaba OR right in the centre of alaba that would look in the good interest of straight hiphoppers doin it from the heart ...................all it needs his relationship,chips and most of all dedication on the part of the front forces..................... I DOwn 2 BLAZE IT Y'ALL

[apopyalips]

True talk neb, like luchiano said, CD's should be sold like gala & that's true talk......let's take over from alaba distributors cos them don't know who needs what..i need real response to this not some typin'. Who know's, our era maybe a take over era just like the crunk era & ish..i read how master p brought south side music to where it is, i must tell y'all, the nigga is a straight up husler to the bone....he wasn't raech before or inherited ish jsut like the popular assumptions. He did it with his wife & that's legitimate hustle. u don't need to sell crack to people that'll get high & rob u to be a hustler...ya opions y'all. peace.

[siege]

yep yep............ to make this work really well, we all need to meet and talk........ thats the only way we can really start this off

the spray paint will really be needed for grafitti

shit is tight men, but like i said , it'll take a whole lot more than postin on dis thread to get things moving, we need to sit and talk, we need kep playas to come up and hold a meeting, from there the playas can now pass the message to other peeps. We need a round table meeting. Feel me?
