Rap Scene In North Carolina

[MJ Truth]

plenty of dudes rappin, plenty of home studios, plenty of shows and struggle open mic/battle of the bands styled shyt

really just nothing thats made me wanna sift through everything to see what i like. forever FC is some of my favorite local shyt though...

That's what I'm looking for, breh... somebody put me on (I tend to have isolated myself to the white areas of Raleigh )

K.97.5 is shyt. Its like the only big radio outlet in Raleigh that everyone has to go too. They don't give any new artists hardly no love.

Same shyt up here with 102 Jamz. Little Brother was never ignant enough to get any play and a gang of nikkas STILL don't know who Big Remo or King Mez is. Don't even get me started on Rapsody not getting any love.....She Got Game mixtape is

Anyway, as far as new cats go, i keep hearing young nikkas talk about Deniro Farrar and another dude named Well$. Haven't heard em personally but i'm told they're dope.

North Carolina is still on New York's dikk. Word to J. Cole

 

[JohnStarksMiddleFinger]

Aint this the same state that showed Little Brother little to no love?

I fukked with Little Brother, but they sucked at marketing themselves.


They didn't put themselves out there like J Cole did

Nah breh North Carolina is just home of the NY transplants. Especially Raleigh Durham area.

Let's be real....If NY was so great why don't these nikkas go back home

Im in Raleigh and im a recording engineer so i work with a ton of local rappers and singers. Tons of talent here with little to know hustle. nikkas don't really know how to promote themselves and their crews do a shyt job of it.

any advice for someone trying to get on the path to becoming an engineer? i'm looking into the 2 year program at guilford, supposed to be a great program but i'm curious about career choices in NC.

I know there are a few studios in the G-boro area you could get started at but as a career I would strongly recommend leaving the area and looking towards an area that has a need for audio engineers like Atlanta, Los Angeles, NYC or some major metropolitan area. Before the film tax incentive program Governor McCrory did not renew went away in NC last year you could've got steady work in Wilmington doing audio engineering for tv and film but all those productions and production companies moved to Georgia because of that.

I have a 9 to 5 in IT and that's what pays the bills for now. I do audio enigneering, production and videography on the side and get a little bit of change here and there but not enough to live off of at the moment . So get started by interning at any studio in the area, then network and meet people then move on once you are ready for the next step.

97.5 and 102 has been and will always be ass!

97.5 was booming in the late 90's.


Now they we got wack ass Russ Parr, and the worst evening party DJ's on the planet.

For real Brehs Wade Banner is cheeks and Brian Dawson is boring as hell

Bring back DVS!

Bring back my nikka DJ Nabs!

preciate the response, i'm definitely trying to leave NC in the future but i was looking more into toronto which i'm sure would have some dope opportunities. i figure as long as i can afford the classes then i'll be happy with at least gaining the knowledge.

Just depends on whether you pursue this full time or do like me and do it causually.
