I'm going for mainstream with these tracks, these just some of my newer stuff.

I can't really help the monotone but I'll take the advice on the other 2 critiques

Honestly this makes me want to go harder. Now I want to prove you wrong
Yes, you can. Look at Uzi, Tyler, Nicki. All rappers that don’t have stand out voices but they do something extra to make it ‘pop’. You sounding like the average black male rapping is working against you. Maybe find a new mic. Experiment with them. Not every mic is for everybody

You right I was being scary

YG Ali

here is some new stuff. It hasnt been mixed yet and I might make a few more changes
I heard the China Molly track. It was cool could be mastered better. You got a Cash Money AP beat everybody on those, song sounds like the climate.

Have you shot videos? Have you reached out for features? You can reach out to an established artist whose on but not huge like a Madeintyo, SahBabii, Loso Loaded. Especially if you working on your tape I think having those type of features helps.

It’s gonna cost you a couple grand but hey :manny:, trying reaching out to artists from other regions too.

Dye your fake dreads, do gay shyt and go off on anyone that think you gay, find out who the big homie is of your local gang and pay him to claim the set, select a 90s hip hop legend to diss, wait for DJ Akademiks to cover you and you on:ehh:

If you have to ask then you shouldn't be doing it. Just bc you can make music doesn't mean you should be doing it for a living especially if you have to ask online in a thread like this.

You dont have to be a rapper for this to happen to you..
being a rapper means you'll be out more than the average individual...it attracts hate.
Most of the old new york rappers that got robbed/get robbed aren't hood rappers...in fact, nikkas were robbing bow wow and other soft breh quite often.

I actually got quoted for features it aint that high actually but I wanted to wait until I monetize or get a fan base

I can shoot videos on my own

Who you reach out to
paperlovee is a upcomer in ATL and he is best friends with my nieces brother. He said 250 for a feature but I wanna talk him down

Also I know some rappers who are with slaughter gang and PDE They might do it off the love but I dont think they have a fan base either. They just get love cause who they affiliated too but the verse around 200 too
