"I saturate the street market because mixtapes are the entry level of hip hop"
50 Cent, G-Unit Records CEO and Shady/Aftermath recording artist.
"That's the way we got our fame and the way we got our word-of-mouth
on the streets Jay-Z would rap on every mixtape that meant something.
That's the best way to talk to that real hip-hop consumer If you're a
real rapper, you don't have to make a record for the radio or
something for MTV. You get to really showcase your skills on mixtapes.
We're always gonna use that as a tool"
Damon Dash, Roc-A-Fella Records CEO
Welcome to the number one platform to showcase new artists and new
music. This promotional service is a sure fire way to gain instant
exposure and promotion for everything from artist albums to lifestyle
products or businesses.
As a artist or producer the key to getting your foot in the door of
the music business is no longer making demo's, but by creating your
own buzz in the streets, this can be done by consistently appearing on
mixtapes. 50 Cent, Fabolous, Joe Budden are just some of the stars
made via mixtapes. Consistency is the key to promotions and getting
out there, the more CD's you are on, the more promotions and exposure
you get, the stronger the buzz will be.
We are an elite partnership of radio & mixtape personalities and DJ's,
who share a genuine love for music and are self confessed trend
setters, entrepreneurs, hustlers, innovators, street A&R's and
marketing geniuses.
S4DK was created with the aim to generate more interest in and help
artists be heard, we want to make sure we connect the audience with
new music from a scene the major record labels constantly overlook and
don't understand.
1000 of our CDs are personally delivered to key individuals at -
Channel U, MTV, BBC 1Xtra, BBC Radio 1, Choice FM, Kiss 100, RWD,
Tense, V2, TVT Records, Solid Records. The remaining we distribute via
radio stations, magazines, record companies, television, street teams,
record stores, music conferences, open mic showcases, DJ's,
competitions and the artists themselves (every artist that appears on
our CD, receives a copy and listens to the other artists on there
looking for who is the next talent coming through). Refusing to just
be heard locally, we distribute worldwide as far as Africa, Canada,
USA, Sweden, Japan and more.
