"Midwest hip-hop is hip-hop music performed by artists from the Midwestern United States. In contrast with its East Coast, West Coast and Southern counterparts, Midwest hip hop has very few constants. Its first dose of national popularity came in the mid-90s with the extremely fast-paced rappers known as Choppers, such as Bone Thugs-n-Harmony (Cleveland), Twista (Chicago), Tech N9ne (Kansas City), Atmosphere (Minneapolis), and Eminem (Detroit)."

Slowed and Reverbed test

Does anyone in here slow and reverb their song when they’re done with it? I make all type of hip-hop, rap, and R&B. One thing I picked on doing about 4 years ago after I get done with a song is slow and reverb it to determine if the song is finished/sounds solid. Especially for my melodic songs or song with extremely hard bass. I’ve had songs where I did this and I was like nah this need some touches. Other songs I was like nah this is a hit and the stats/crowd reaction echoes that too. So I was wondering if anyone else applies this method or is it just me?

Anyone down to collab?? (Well sort of…)

I think it would be cool if this sub did a compilation or a mixtape. We could get 1 or 2 artist from each state to submit a song. Then have each person post it on their own page. That ensures maximum exposure. Feel free to drop your link and upvotes other links that you think should be included. Maybe we can figure out some sort of voting system on what songs make the cut. Lmk if you’re interested.

Esque Ent Discord Server

What’s poppin, my name is 1HUM. I run a small self funded startup label named “Esque Ent”. We are a versatile record label that delves into to different genres of music, based out of Wisconsin.

We have decided to start a discord community to get artists, producers, event manager, engineers, videographers & graphic designers all in one location. While giving them access to the tools needed to be successful.

This discord channel will be the main source of outsourcing production for us. As well as scoping new artists for features and signing consideration.

We look forward to assisting with all aspects of the music business, while building lifelong connections.

Music Management

Hello!

I'm a 20 year old living in Michigan. I have been doing a little music management for over a year now and I'm looking for more talented artists to work with. If you decide to work with me I will get you studio sessions, music videos, I will promote your projects, and I will try to get you shows. I'm funding this all on my own. Next year I'm going to look to host a concert with some of the artists I work with. It will take place somewhere in the Midwest. I'm more concerned about getting traction right now more than I am making money, so working with me will cost you nothing at all. There are some variables that go into us considering working with an artists, but it's mostly how you conduct yourself and how your music sounds. If youre interested in withing with me, all you have to do is follow the Instagram account (theundergroundcollectiveoa) and then send us an email with your artist name, which Midwest state you reside in (Only because it's a lot easier to work with artists who are closer), and a link to some of your music. From that, we will decide whether or not to work with you. It will probably be decided that we will work with you. Regardless of our decision, you will recive an email back.

Hope to hear from some of you,

The Underground Collective
