Submit to Terrestrial Radio Stations the Old Fashioned Way - 3 Mail In Submissions

Submit and Mail Music to Terrestrial Radio Stations
Anybody home???

Mailing CDs and a Press Kit to a Terrestrial Radio Station is Played Out Right?

If we're talking your top 5 local stations; who solely rely on their advertiser's budget's, which are filled with ads, and crappy cookie cutout music then yeah it's played out. However, there are still terrestrial radio stations out there who are truly independent and do not rely on big name advertiser's money. Who would have thought in 2016, that there are stations buried under page 9000 of Google search results who still accept the old fashioned method of mailing your music submissions manually.

While their online presence may not be big, their local presence has been established decades ago with some of the most hardcore fans you will ever meet....next to a bunch of teenage girls at "Next Famous Boy Band's Name Here" concert.

MC Eiht - Wake Yo Punk Ass Up for the 2016 Shot - Everybody Can't Be Doctors/Lawyers


MC Eiht on VladTV Interview

"It's a beautiful Best Buy plaza now but when I was growing up it was a dirt lot". Just like Brooklyn, Compton is now a social media trending city because of it's violent past. MC Eiht and Eazy E are the first two names when I think of Compton, just like Tray Dee for Long Beach. I'm not sure if the pattern is due to where I grew up at or simply because their music was fit more to my vibe.

Remember kids, you don't start gang-banging in your mid-20's - "They got it backwards like they ass was in the front acting like they smoke rock and not grass up in they lungs...I got no words for them, just fist of Fury like Bruce Whah!" Strawberriez N Cream
