What do you look for in an artists when they reach out to your blog? Why do you post them and what kind of approach actually helps them get posted?

Talent. I listen and/or watch every submission to see if they are bringing anything new to the table, especially since you can turn on the radio and/or the TV to see and hear the usual mainstream rap gimmick topics.

Don’t send me submissions saying sh*t like “you should give my song a listen. This sh*t is fire yo!!!” or “this a hit song & you’ll be a fool not to post it” (all before I give these songs a listen BTW). And when I tell you I won’t be posting your song or music video or something, don’t start throwing temper tantrums talking all kind of sh*t. Have some humility.

Can you also tell me the reasons why you absolutely DO NOT post an artist?

Besides the artist being wack; @’ing and/or DM’ing me their materials on Twitter, inboxing and/or tagging me in their material on Facebook, having personal issues with me (this can go the other way around, as well), etc…
