How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
I think it gives unsigned artists a good chance to promote their music.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
HELL YEAH!!!
Band History:
I was raised in Elmont, Long Island. I started rapping when I was about 13. I used to do beat boxing but everyone paid more atttention to the rappers. So I went home and wrote something, came back and the rest is history.
