I got locked up in 2006 when I was 16. just got out yesterday. im 24... i know a lot of shit changed. Before I got locked up I was makin music and doin good for bein so young. mostly local shit but I had opened up for bone thugs, paul wall & slim thug, baby boy (the this is the way i live dude).. paul wall actually hooked me up with a verse after i opened for him.
anyway my 2 older cousins promoted me and got me those shows and my buzz, all i had to do was make the music. one of them was killed 2 years after i went to prison and the other one went in to prison last year. i dont associate with nobody i did before i went to jail so im on my own doing this shit. and the game changed so much that im lost as hell.
here is what i know i need. then i got some questions about shit.
facebook
twitter
instagram

--is it best to release a lot of music at once? if a site is putting my music up should i flood them? seems like i should only push a song like that so often so that way when people hear me and look me up i got songs they aint heard yet. im not sure which is the best way to pace how much and how quick i put music out.
--should i use tumblr as my website? and do it blog style or use blogspot like drake does with ovo? i def like the idea of using a blog as a site instead of just a website cuz it seems like every music site is in blog style. either way can i get some tips on it?
--should i link my twitter to my facebook account so everything i post on twitter shows up on there or should i use facebook for exclusive updates? again i dont know how exclusive to be in order to entice people to check out my other sites.
--how should i go about promoting my music? im in a curfew til 2015 so i cant really do shows. cant even leave the county til i get reviewed in october. i dont just want to hit random people and ask them to listen to me. so what promotional tools can i use? how can i connect with people?
--what other sites should i be on? what other tools is out there that i can be utilizing?
--can somebody give me a list of blogs/sites that will accept submissions from artists?
give me some game yall.
