Since the early days of Napster, rap music consumers have come to expect free music downloads. No one can actually tell if these downloads are merely used as taste-testers solely for evaluation purposes or if music buyers see MP3 downloads as a right of passage.
Free rap music downloads have forced several rap and hip hop record labels to use free MP3 downloads as a way to reach large numbers of music consumers quickly and as a cross-promotion drive that if used wisely, can yield benefits.
A lucrative alternative to selling to the consumer has evolved and a number of industry insiders are offering advice that getting your music in film and TV is the epitome of promotion. Is film and television or club djs bullet proof ways to launch a new artist or composer?
Some rap music experts have gone so far as to call film & TV the "new radio" but this avenue like all other hip hop and rap music placements are just as elusive to new rap music artists. The one important question that is seldom answered: can new rap songs earn an artist money up front for placement in film and television?
Getting hip hop music on a hot TV show or in a film requires a lot of research and you need to know how to reach the music supervisors involved with these shows and get their attention when they are on the hunt for new rap music.
Music supervisors have different preferences: do you send a beat CD, is it wise to send unsolicited music, will MP3s be acceptable or can you simply direct them to your rap music social network to hear your new rap songs?
