Every day I wake up thinking what do I have to do. What do I have to do to make this music pop. What do I have to do to get some recognition from "The Tastemakers".. Mixtapes?....did that...pay for play showcases?...did those...a lot of em...Open Mics?....yup did a bunch of those......Oh wait...they said I need original music. Ok ..dropped a album that should've got 5 mics. It's called Broadway Empire(http://broadwayblake.bandcamp.com/) ... Any media coverage?...nope...I forgot you gotta pay for a publicist to handle that. An I forgot you gotta have 20,000 followers on Twitter(@Broadwayblake), 30,000 likes on facebook (www.facebook.com/broadwayblake), 7 million views on Youtube(youtube.com/teambroadway), etc. Well I don't have all that...All I brought with me is the music and my story. An I'm not saying I need any type of validation from the media or the industry but I should be mentioned somewhere in these conversations of the "Next Artist to Watch". Google it...check the catalog... This past October I released 31 Songs in 31 Days as a part of #TheMonthOfBroadway series....THIRTY ONE SONGS IN THIRTY ONE DAYS....did I get a Complex write up...A Rap Radar post....XXL ...Breakfast Club Interview... Hot 97.....anything...HELL NO....an it wasn't a bunch of nonsense records....Original joints "Big Sent Me, Pac Sent Me"(http://hu.lk/jrit6hfj9hj4) , Remix Joints "Lorde Royals"(http://hu.lk/go8r00g8rcao) , Freestyles "Control"(http://hu.lk/lzib3nd4mark) , "Feeling Like Carmelo"(http://hu.lk/mc6d37h037cw) ...etc...but nothing. .and that's no disrespect to my supporters who show me love daily about what I've been quietly building. Your loyalty and support is appreciated. But damn what's a rapper gotta do to get a lil love.
