What used to be the best ways to get famous, or at least get some fame at all, in the Hip Hop game? The number one thing artists used to do was send in demos to the famous record labels and hope that someone notices you out of the millions of demos sent in every year. If you wanted any recognition at all, you probably had to perform countless shows locally as well. You could have went to the local radio station and hoped to get played if the DJ liked you. Luckily, today holds a completely different Hip Hop industry. Nowadays you can create an even bigger buzz using tactics that are ten times easier. This article will show you some great ways to build your buzz!

The number one thing you must do as a Hip Hop artist today is generate a buzz online. The number one place people listen to new music is the internet.
