SOUNDCLOUD REMOVED MY TRACK: WHAT CAN I DO ABOUT IT?

Image
Pretty much every upcoming  songwriter  in the world is on SoundCloud. And sometimes, your track will get removed without warning. In this article, I'll explain what you can do about it. SOUNDCLOUD IS IMPORTANT FOR MUSICIANS, BUT WHY DO THEY REMOVE YOUR TRACKS WITHOUT WARNING? There's no doubt that SoundCloud has become one of the best platforms for sharing your music and allowing fans to connect and engage with your tracks. Tom Leo, founder of  YouKnowIGotSoul.com  says that he seriously questions any music submission that is not accompanied by a SoundCloud link. I agree that SoundCloud has grown to be a trustworthy brand, and artists who host their music on SoundCloud appear to be more credible than artists who just send MP3 attachments in their email submissions. (Seriously, don't do that!) We know how much work goes into the creative process. Just think of all those countless studio sessions where night turns into morning, and you have to go to work straight from the st...

Music career or expensive hobby? How do you distinguish between the two? Which one do you have? The first step is being honest with yourself. We've heard it thousands of times before. A common answer to this simple question. So, what do you do? "I'm a rapper" – millions of aspiring people, worldwide. Rapper is the lowest common denomination, especially here in NYC. But you could easily replace that with singer, producer, songwriter, DJ, etc. Now ladies, be honest. What's your reaction when you hear a guy say that? dating-a-rapper Is it fair?  Probably not. But guess what – it's reality. NOBODY CARES The hardest thing to do as an upcoming musician is face reality. Here's some brutal truths: Talent doesn't determine your success To an extent – neither does hard work It costs a lot of money to make things happen The landlord doesn't care about your dreams Don't expect people to care about your movement until you can portray certain aspects of succ...

HOW TO BECOME A SONGWRITER IN 2021 (AND ACTUALLY MAKE MONEY)

Image
There are many people chasing empty dreams in the music industry.  They will endlessly pursue the societal glory of landing placements for major artists, meanwhile the reality of the songwriter grind is that most writers never get to work with Chris Brown or Drake. The independent songwriter hustle is extremely taxing – mentally, emotionally, physically and financially. Don't believe what you see on Instagram. You will need to sacrifice friends, family, romantic relationships, vacations, partying and most aspects of regular life if you're serious about turning your dreams into a reality. Very Important Note : Just because you're "working" in the music business, does not actually mean you will get paid. If you can't grasp the concept of working for value exchanges, you should quit while you're ahead. While there are other songwriter "hubs" in North America such as Los Angeles, Nashville, Atlanta, and Toronto – this essential guide comes from the p...

HipHop-N-More New Video: Conway The Machine – 'Scatter Brain' (Feat. J.I.D. & Ludacris) https://hiphop-n-more.com/2021/06/new-video-conway-the-machine-scatter-brain-feat-j-i-d-ludacris/ Jun 8th 2021, 19:32 It's been a couple of months now since Conway The Machine dropped his La Maquina album and it's an early contender for the album of the year conversation for me, at least in Hip-Hop. You can check it out here. This afternoon, the Griselda MC puts out a visual for 'Scatter Brain', a standout from the LP which features a pair of great verses from Atlanta rappers J.I.D. and Ludacris. We were speaking to KD about this song and he said Luda sounds good enough to put out another album. We can't help but agree. J.I.D. had the best verse for us though. Check out the video below. The post New Video: Conway The Machine - 'Scatter Brain' (Feat. J.I.D. & Ludacris) first appeared on HipHop-N-More. You are receiving this emai...

Today it has been announced that the rapper is pairing up with Live Nation to open a new live-entertainment venue in Toronto called History. It has been in development for over three years and is set to be finished later this summer. It will be a 2,500 capacity venue and plans are for 200 concerts and events to be hosted there per annum.
