The Art Of Supporting An Artist
The music industry has changed more in the past 10 years, than ever in history. So while Artist's, labels, and record exec's have been forced to adapt to a new climate, the fan has been able to put forth less effort than each generation prior to get the music they want. For instance, I come from a generation that would stay up all night listening to the radio so we could record our favorite song on casette tape.
Now everything is a point and click away, downloadable or streaming. It's changed the way listeners interact with their music. Everything is at their fingertips. What it's also changed is the value the industry places on those interactions. Each click, like, share, tweet, +1, or whatever icon is found beside an article or media file have a value. Comments are worth more. These interactions determines how close to the top an Artist comes on a search engine, which brings more hits, which will inspire more interactions.
Interactions mean people are paying close enough attention to get involved- attracting sponsors to the Artist's content. Ideally the listener is engaged enough to purchase music or merchandise from the Artist. But to a lesser extent if their engaged enough to leave a comment, or hit the like button, and share, their attracting more attention to their Artist... in turn attracting sponsors.
To the Artist, EVERY click, like, or whatever the case may be is INVALUABLE. They appreciate every one and for a second feel like they reached someone that may lead to more.
To the listener... it cost's you nothing. It's simply a matter of recognising how much influence you have over an independent Artist's career and placing your support where you see fit. But choose wisely, you're responsible for what will eventually end up on the radio.

NEW SINGLE
Ladies & Gentleman Mark Your Calendars...
Class Announces NEW SINGLE Set To Release OCT 15 2012 ... STAY TUNED...
The Track Is Titled "Too-Soulful". A Perfect Blend Of Old School Soul Over A Salsa Percussion That Could Wake Celia Cruz Provide The Backdrop For Class To Compliment With Lyrics That The Salsa Influence Screams For.
"Latin Thats Rapping Like He Was Raised Off Of Soul Food"
The Track Sheds Light On A Topic That Seems To Have Been Ignored By Hip-Hop For Far Too Long- Latino Influence.
In A Culture Thats Birth Took Place In The Bronx New York One Has To Ask... Where Have All The Latins Gone!??
Latins Have Been In The Culture Since It Started And Helped Build It From Day 1. "Too-Soulful" Is An Homage To That Fact And A Continuation Of That Influence.
"So Let The Bass Knock- Maracas/ Hit The Soul Train Line- Bachata... Wepa!!!"

DAYDREAM
I snorted a line today,
but I was just fine today.
I wasn't trippin, while smoking;
just thinkin a little bit,
sippin on wine today.
Pleading and prayin I find a way
out of my mind;
until I may find a way-
I may, be stuck in my mind the way,
some niggas been stuck on the grind with yay-
But nay;
niggas aint suck on the grind;
he stuck on the cars, stuck on the girls,
stuck on the shine, the pearls, the watch,
the time that he finds the grind will pay; but, but...
the niggas, of niggas that grind- betray.
cause that grind get paid, get laid;
like niggas that rhyme on stage, vaca for days.
while-
niggas that stuck in they mind just stage.
Contemplate ways, for days,
to stay dazed for days.
Today, stayed with yay.
tuesday, blazed my pay;
roll, smoke blues away-
should choose to stay awake,
atleast stay away- fuck "stay awake"
daydream day to day;
straight through break of day- cause it's hard...
life is hard when your awake, so it's safe to say
if you stay to play; & fuck up?
you may waste away, I May-
*CHORUS*
Daydream...
I fell asleep and met the flowers.
For a couple of hours-
such a beautiful day.
Daydream...
I dream of you and meet the flowers.
For a couple of hours-
such a beautiful day.
I'm-
dreamin a little bit,
more than I should have been,
doing some shit, that I wouldn't have done;
if I hadn't been doing,
the shit I been doin for way too long.
Been drinking and driving;
just lucky survived, and thank God I'm alive;
But I'm high-
he wont listen; I wish he did.
what was I saying?
Forget it- this cocaine is weighed too strong.
I wonder what pills will do...?
Dont know you,
but fuck it, I'll chills with you.
I love you.
I wanna be "reals" with you- wait,
what was your name again?
-Jill will do.
doubt if in the morning;
I'm sober, roll over,
and somehow find out that I'm still with you.
There's so many rappers and deals are few-
you give up your dreams when your bills are due.
But mama told me I should keep my head out the clouds.
And "how you focused on your homework,
with the beat so loud?"
everytime she turned the church up,
heard the streets get loud.
I always dreamed outside this city
hope she see's that now.
I'll be back, proud.
But I'm lifted, I cant be back now.
Only dreaming so I reach the point I see that sound.
though heavy is the head that wears it;
I believe that crown-
is only out of reach for now until I see that found-
I'ma...
*CHORUS*
Daydream...
I fell asleep and met the flowers.
For a couple of hours-
such a beautiful day.
Daydream...
I dream of you and meet the flowers.
For a couple of hours-
such a beautiful day.

Respect,
Been working round the clock for my team and I haven't appeared in a Freestyle Friday at all this year. Figured I'd dust off the brim of the cap & get camera ready.
