I know how radio works too and know DJ's, honestly it varies, in the biggest stations usually it is pre planned on the prime time shows but there are also individual DJ shows or radio personality shows where the playlist can be more personalised by the DJ. I have got music played for artists on big national radio and other stations and it was through getting the personality to hear the music and them liking it, through personal connection or interaction or a professional submission which is then where whoever decided what they want to play. There's also a difference to adding something to a regular playlist and giving something a shot. It's so broad and long to explain in 1 quick post, but it varies. Sometimes people's fans make a DJ with control check an artist, if they keep hearing the same name over and over again or from a source they trust, or if they like a song that fits their guidelines that was from a plugging company or a manager with some credibility or pull. I don't doubt at all the authenticity of this, not everything is payola, I know this because I have personally never payed somebody to play an artist I've got on the radio, but there are companies that can plug to try and get regular rotation at many of the stations. Jay Z used to pay people to play his shyt I believe though, I think he would insist on paying people for things too, I think Jay was really paid before music. For artists I'd recommend making connections and networking regularly and being highly professional, cordial and reliable. Personality really goes a long way, a friend of mine is currently getting radio play all over the world and their great personality is definitely a part of it, another friend is getting bigger all the time and now has a say in shyt and influence. It's much better when you're genuine though, I can't play no bullshyt ass kissing games, I just have to be genuine and upfront, thankfully some do respond to that, some as we all know though want to be bribed and ass kissed, some play the game and do that and feel it's for the greater good, personally it's not something I'd want to do, I'd rather create our own avenues and also build with people that are genuine about the music or building. Always a good idea to hit the clubs personally or your team do it, if that's the type of music the artist makes. A friend of mine said recently networking is 1 of the most important and necessary factors in the buisness and I agree in a sense and see what he meant. Dumb dudes fukk up their networking cause they can't act properly with integrity, smart dudes network and keep it real and regular. Good to build, but if you prevent your own building your trapping yourself and limiting your opportunities and as a striving artist every genuine opportunity to build should be utilised if possible, grind got to be hard and heavy.
I made the radio brehs, the feeling is really better than sex.. almost

Coli beef is serious. We need this battleWill personally PM you the radio interview / spins in NY I do on the 6th. No payola, no "relationships with promoters" stuff over here. You coming at the wrong one, fukk boy. This ain't even a real accomplishment to any artist worth his weight in bars, and relatively easy ESPECIALLY THESE DAYS.
IDK why you even addressing me or why you still seem to think someone doing you a favor or by you knowing someone and getting a spin equates to bring a good artist, when Lil Yachty is on the radio daily. Fam, I got my first spin on local radio at 19 in 2006. All this little gay shyt, like I said, I have nothing to prove. I don't need approval like you seem to, I just get it because I'm nice.
You're a self admitted "retweet gangbanger" and payola artist who mainly only gets shows due to your network, not talent. I can't even commend you as a hustler bc there's no "hustle" behind it, just a well-off college cac who's always had money, sharking MY culture and using money to make yourself appear talented. We're not in the same league at all. Anything you can do, I can shyt on. Any concept, flow, delivery, production (yes I produce), or lyrical skill, I shyt ALL OVER @C-Syles fukk nikka I'll desecrate your mother's mothers resting place and dare you to retaliate, you think I give a fukk about your one spin out in Bumblefukk Illinois?
So don't bait me with the corny angle you coming with, like I said, let me know when you in New York and get these hands. You're bigger than me, we can even raise a small amount of funds and donate, throw the gloves on, for the culture and get some music behind it. Holla at me, I'm dead serious, I'd love to shoot the fair one then shake hands like men after destroying you lyrically and dominating you physically.

K-rino is trash and youre from scotland FOHYou're bytch made and feminine and basically a jealous hoe. Like you keep making idle threats but you ain't DONE shyt. You don't need approval?. So why the fukk you begging people to view your music threads on an internet forum? And uppin your own shyt?
You were so butthurt like a bytch about C Styles and probably cause I said congratulations you literally upped an old hate thread you made about me (the fact you have the time to do that in the first place and think about that shyt says A LOT about you) pretending to apologise (which I humbly accepted and said clean slate and keep it moving) only to talk shyt again, this is after you've been dapping a vast number of my posts and repped me saying ok "bro" so I thought you may be genuinely apologetic for your immaturity, childishness and ignorance so I accepted and even wished you luck with your music, but you so upset and jealous of C Styles you get butthurt about it and try talk shyt yet again. That shows what kind of foul scum waste individual you are, to talk shyt about somebody who had just accepted your apology and wished you luck at that, no integrity, honour or dignity or understanding of manhood or righteousness, just a foul rat type dude (not surprised since you've referred to yourself as snitching). And you try talk shyt about K-Rino also (after dapping numerous posts bigging up K-Rino, his songs or positive things by the way) who is a HUGELY more respected, appreciated, loved and revered artist than you are.
It's a terrible look for you as a so called artist to be so obsessed over another rapper, that you claim is wack, who seems to be making more moves than you. Honestly C-Styles has joints like the Kirko track, this track that will probably go further than your shyt, and probably has done which is hurting your soul, he even seems to be getting more views and shyt than you, so that's how your bytch tendencies came out, you a lame ass bytch made dude. I understand if someone has a personal problem with him, that's different, fair enough they can say their piece and shyt and feel some type of way, but you just come across as a hating loser with nothing better to do. You should focus on your music, pushing it, and being a better human being and not a walking car wreck, grow up and stop being a bytch made clown. And you may elevate and be able to network better, your word should be your bond, when you speak to someone and apologise you should mean it, just shows what an untrustworthy despicable snake and a negative individual you are. When you have positive upright behaviour it's much easier to get people to support and invest in what you do, when you come across as a hostile spoilt child and jealous bytch you aren't doing yourself any favours, anyway I actually have shyt to do, not interested in talking or interacting with you at all.
K-Rino is hugely respected by legends in the game, this is a fact. And I'm not from Scotland, this is also a fact, but whatever lies you desperate weirdos want to say whatever, it doesn't effect me in the slightest, it's pathetic that's all, so continue but you know full well you have no receipts for your lies and you never will as they are pure fabrication and bullshyt. Clown.K-rino is trash and youre from scotland FOH
