EPISODE 327 "10 REASONS TO LISTEN TO INDIE MUSIC"

There is a digital war going on in hip hop. Battle lines have been drawn, and fought over. You win some and you loose some as they say, but to me if you are really tuned in to Indie Hip Hop artist you are ahead of the game. This is the thing: THE MUSIC YOU HEAR ON THE RADIO IS NOT CONTROLLED BY PEOPLE THAT HAVE A LOT IN COMMON WITH YOU. This is the sad reality to of it all. Keeping in mind one truth when it comes to music: WE ALIKE WHAT WE LIKE, BUT WE CAN BE PROGRAMMED TO LIKE WHAT THEY WANT US TO. Funny how us "highly intelligent" beings can at times be no different from a herd of cattle isn't it? So tonight I will give you some reasons that I think you would be better off listening to Indie Music then you will be listening to mainstream music. First let me tell you the NEGATIVES: 

1) the music may not SOUND as big an clear as major artist

2) the good music and artist are often harder to find since they are not promoted as much

3) you may not be able to get it the way you like to get your music because Indie artist tend to NOT have music available on certain digital formats (LIKE PANDORA or iTunes)

Now that you know the BAD lets get to the point of the show, the REASONS YOU SHOULD LISTEN TO INDIE MUSIC:

10) the music is controlled by the ARTIST not a LABEL so you hear exactly what they want you to hear

 9) you have a wider pool of artist to choose from, and even more so when it comes to where you live and represent

 8) if they are a local group then it wont cost near as much to see them perform live if you like them

 7) if you do like them, you can probably speak to them directly and let them know what you think of the music

 6) the music will most likely be free or very lost cost

Tune in for the TOP 5 tonight live 8-10pm!
