What's the key for lesser known artists to create an internet buzz?

ok
Not trying to argue or anything, I just like giving artists the credit they deserve.[DOUBLEPOST=1397359553][/DOUBLEPOST]
That rarely worked for anyone outside of ATL. In most cases those artists stayed local.

well that's what i kind of said in my follow up post after this post you quoted of mine; the part about it bein' more rappers than ever and rappers needed to keep that momentum etc
There's unexplained mysterious ways of getting your music heard out there. Chance The Rapper was somehow trending on Twitter the day "Acid Rap" dropped, even though myself and the majority of others never heard of or cared for dude before. Apparently, he dropped a mixtape in high school that caught the ears of Forbes Magazine and Childish Gambino who asked to tour with him. How that even happens I don't know. Joey Bada$$ also got a lot of buzz from out of nowhere. It was just like one day "1999" dropped and Twitter blew up and everybody went crazy. I guess it's about catching the ears of the right people. From Joey's wiki - "In October 2010, Joey uploaded a video of himself freestyling to video-sharing website YouTube. The video was re-posted on to American hip hop site World Star Hip Hop and caught the attention of Jonny Shipes, the president of Cinematic Music Group and manager of Big K.R.I.T. & Smoke DZA."

Truth be told, the one thing that's imperative, is a good relationship with (and money to pay) the top blogs.
if you don't have the blogs, you don't have shyt.

Breh, these are the stories they tell you, so you don't feel some kind of way about liking something that's not truly organic.
hip hop fans on the internet, will straight up avoid rappers if it even smells like there are some behind the scenes strings being pulled....That's why these labels astroturfing artists now.
fans want to feel like they're the ones who made rapper X into what he is, and that it's not the work of marketing teams who study their tendencies.
