What used to be the best ways to get famous, or at least get some fame at all, in the Hip Hop game? The number one thing artists used to do was send in demos to the famous record labels and hope that someone notices you out of the millions of demos sent in every year. If you wanted any recognition at all, you probably had to perform countless shows locally as well. You could have went to the local radio station and hoped to get played if the DJ liked you. Luckily, today holds a completely different Hip Hop industry. Nowadays you can create an even bigger buzz using tactics that are ten times easier. If you continue reading on in this article, you will find out the best ways to do so!

Creating an online buzz should be the one thing Hip Hop musicians should focus on now. Millions of people are listening to new music on the internet everyday, so get your music on their new list. There are thousands of internet radio stations hoping you send in your music for them to play. You can even find hundreds of music-based communities to submit your music to, get reviews, and gain new fans. To get famous, you have to have your name out there in every possible outlet. The internet is here to help you. It will get your music to millions of outlets, if you have talent and are willing to work for it.

Don't get me wrong, doing shows locally is still a great way to generate a buzz. Performing at local concerts and building yourself online is necessary, since you need more than just a local buzz though. So, how do you generate a buzz online? There are maybe a hundred musicians locally and there are millions online, so you have to be able to stand out, even more than you do locally. Lucky for you, this article will show you a great way to market your music online. If you aren't using social media sites yet to market your music, you are definitely doing something wrong!

The best sites to utilize for your music are Youtube, Facebook, and Twitter. You need to post your music and videos on Youtube all the time, and make sure you are staying active with the community as well. Get out there, comment on other musicians' videos, collaborate like crazy, which can build a great fan base, and keep at it. Even post music that is free to download. Every new video you put on Youtube should be posting to Facebook and Twitter, so your followers and fans can get it right away. Gain more fans and followers on Facebook and Twitter by staying active on those sites and by posting in Hip Hop forums. You can find hundreds of Hip Hop forums to join and post to by just searching Google quickly.

Some of the newest faces in Hip Hop, like Hopsin, have generated almost all of their fans through the internet. You can be that next artist in line, if you have the right amount of talent and marketing ability. Since not everybody is meant to market, especially online, you could always hire an internet marketing agency to market for you, leaving you more time for your music. I'm sure there are plenty out there that will even give you discounts if they like your music. Good luck with the music career!
