You gotta make a lot of copies and send it to labels. My opinion stick with small labels, like dinosuar fight records, that would be your best chance.

I can email it to you if you give me your email address. I tried to email it using the email feature on this Q&A section but i cant send files through it. I have Limewire so I just downloaded it and I tested it so I know it works. Email me or IM me and Ill get back to you.\n\nUPDATE: I sent the song to dyboy34@yahoo.com I hope that is your email address. If not then tell me what it is so I can send you the song.\n\nPS: Im reading some of these other answers and...well...people, the dude said he does not want to download any weirda$$ programs like Limewire so those did not really help, lol.

you can tell htem but that will just make them want to listen to it more. so Just try monitoring wat he listens to. and not all rap is bad, some of it is really quite deep and heart felt.

I'm in the same boat! Despite Mr. Wizard's comments, there are a lot of people who want that good, true school hip hop! There's def. a market for independent/underground hip-hop. I agree that myspace.com is a great resource for up and comers, the networking opps. are great! I you live in a big city, look into all of the local clubs/bars - a lot of them have 'open mic' nights. This is a way to get exposure and on-stage experience - which is critical because if you want to make it independently, a good live show can be your bread and butter! Also, get that demo in tip top shape and send it out to independent hip-hop labels. A few I can think of are halftooth records, seven heads, justus league.... Def. be prepared to work very hard and put a lot of time and effort into it, and love it too! If you don't love it what's the point?

I might be able to help. I have worked with some of the greats in the music industry and honestly, I'm not to happy with anything out there right now. If you would like to know whom I worked with, please reply with an email and I will include my website for your consideration.

I hate to say it, but I think that you are out of luck on this one.  The music industry generally does not accept unsolicited material.  One chance you might have it to approach a local band or musician and show them your work.  Good luck

A messenge for the Backstreet boys, that sounds like a great idea!! (how r u forwarding this to them?)\nWell I love your music, I have all your albums, I love all the songs on all of them. It's wonderful to be such a great music band and have all the magical success that you have had. It's also cool to take a rest and then come back with more great songs. Goodluck with whatever your working on at the moment and all of us fans can't wait for the next album, since it will be added to the lovely collection that we already have.

yes--take your demos every where!!!!--give them to dj s at clubs--drop them off at local radio stations--and two weeks later drop them off again--include photos of yourself or your band--play in public alot--even if its for free--give out copies of your demos for free every time you play out!!--contact your local news paper and give the entertainment editor copies of your demos--maybe he will do an article on you--oh yeah--hit the radio stations again--there are independent record labels all over the internet--send them copies--then 2 weeks later send them again--repeat as nescessary--go play on the street corners if you have to--and don,t forget--hand out those free demos to everyone you meet!!!--don,t get discouraged--it takes a while--won,t happen over night--you will get more rejections than you will get people accepting your stuff--but keep it up !!!!!

U LIVE IN INDIA!! See if any of your friends have drums, you can use to pratice with. I would love to be in a band I would be the songwriter and singer, but you probably don't live in Ohio. Just ask your friends, if there interested. If not post flyers around school.

go to ascap.com do copywrite reasearch. do you want to record their song, or use their song AND the recording of it, two different things. thats the start of it. you have to know who owns what rights to what to begin. there are standard rates for some things. you must get permission for using their recording, AND pay them a fee.

send the demos to labels have him make a page on purevolume or myspace and promote his music there are labels that look at all types of music on those sites
