Cerebro Coming Soon...


Hip-hop artist, Loser X and I will be releasing a hip hop/nerdcore EP called, “Cerebro EP.”  This album is like listening to a comic book.  “Cerebro EP” is dedicated to the Marvel X-Men character Professor X.  This album has everything a nostalgic nerd wants.  We used content from comic based cartoons, anime shows, and even video games.  We plan to release this EP as a free download to see how the public responds.  We plan to promote the EP at comic, video game, and anime conventions around Tampa and Orlando in Florida.  Our target market is heavy at these types of conventions.  We also plan to promote the EP on social websites like Facebook and Twitter.  I believe that it is great to stay in touch with fans online and in person.  I read an article from makeitinmusic.com about lessons on how to connect with fans as an artist.  One way to be proactive with fans is to be approachable.  Using Twitter helps you interact with fans and other professionals in the industry.  Depending on how you use Twitter, people can see you as a professional and a casual person.  Getting to know your fans good because you can get feedback about your music or you can have the fans participate in the decision of the next single to be released.  Another way to connect with the fans is to give away free music or gifts.  Now, people, especially fans, want more “bang” for their money, so you have to give a little extra. For instance, after the release of our EP, we will give codes to receive a digital comic book that follows the EP.  Staying positive about your online presence is a plus towards your fans.  Everyone likes to criticize or give his or her own opinions when it comes to music.  Although it comes with the territory, you have to be positive about other people’s opinions.  Although this EP is a different approach towards hip-hop, it is something new and it will get the respect it deserves.
