Artists Submit your songs!

Just updated the blog with my online Radio Station. It isn't much now but with your help it can grow into something huge! I'm looking for artists to submit their single for rotation on here, if you would like to do that then send me an mp3 of your song to rahat.music@gmail.com

I ask if you do send me an mp3 if you can also send me an mp3 of you introducing yourself and the station and just giving a shout out I would truly appreciate it. Something along the lines of:

"What up this is (your name) and your tuned into Rahat's (pronounced Ra-hot) Underground Online Radio Station. You can check out my music at (insert your website name here)."

Be creative you don't need to use that as a script.

New Lupe Fiasco Mixtape

Happy thanksgiving guys I'll give you an update on the parade a little later. For now you guys should all check out a new mixtape just released by Lupe Fiasco. I'm in the process of listening to it myself and while I'm not too fond of the production Lupe does do his thing on them. Check it out here:

Let me know what you guys think of it too.

Making of Hero

Whats up guys, just put  a new video up on youtube. It's basically me doing one of my vocal takes for my single "Hero" produced by Sinima Beats. Its not the one that made it to the final cut of the song but I hope you guys enjoy it. Going to the Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade tomorrow, I'll let you guys know how it was if you miss it.

Vote for me!

Just submitted two of my songs "Hero" ft Mun produced by Sinima beats as well as "War" produced by EmotionL beats to Coast2Coast Magazine and mixtape. Hero is for a feature on the back cover of the magazine and War is for a feature on the new mixtape from Coast2Coast produced by N.O.R.E.

Thanks guys in advanced for the support, hopefully you'll be seeing me getting some success on both of those!

New Stuff on the blog

Just letting you guys know if you haven't noticed already; I've put up a music player and a submission box for a mailing list here. As of now it's just got my music on it but I hope to also feature other artists music on it later on as well. Once I get the logistics of that set up I'm going to replace the current music player with a new one seeing as how this is coming directly from my Reverbnation account. Any suggestions on other types of music players I can use would be very helpful!

Right now the songs on the player are "War" produced by EmotionL Productions, "Hero" ft. Mun produced by Sinima beats, and "Forgotten" produced by DJ SOS. Hope you enjoy them!

If you guys like you can join the mailing list as well, and I'd like it very much if you did as well! I'm going to be sending updates through my mailing list from time to time and those on it will get to hear new music before anyone else and get some free downloads and possibly other goodies as well! So sign up to be kept in the loop!

"A Seraph's Gift" First Single

Finished up the the first single off of "A Seraph's Gift"! You can check it out by clicking here. The song is called "Hero" and features my fiancée Mun on the chorus. Hope you guys enjoy it, we worked really hard on it. Will be working on a video for it real soon with A. Juli Productions, who also directed my first video "Here we Go." 

Besides this song there is also a new version of the song "Forgotten" which will also find a place one the new album. Currently have four out of the ten songs done for the album, will keep you posted as I progress and when it's finally finished. Stay tuned for a release date real soon!

Recording and Promoting

I mentioned in my first post that I'm working on a new album. I've got all the lyrics ready and I'm going in next Thursday, November 17th to start on the recording process. I've done a couple E.P.'s before but never really had much of a marketing plan to get them publicized beyond my friends and (at the time) my high school. This time I'm learning from my previous mistakes, I'm going to be submitting my music to several college radio stations. I'm mainly targeting CUNY stations but will also be going for NYU, Fordham, and Stony Brook Radio stations.
Besides the radio stations I'm going to be submitting and getting advertising in local papers hopefully. If you live near Riverdale, hopefully you'll be seeing me soon in the Riverdale Press, I plan on submitting my stuff over there. If anybody has suggestions on local papers that might consider reviewing local artist send me an email at:
rahat.music@gmail.com
If you specifically want to review my music for your own blog or online publication email me there as well, would appreciate any support you guys can give me. I'll be updating my status on the record along the way and will be posting some videos up on my Youtube page from the sessions. Got to give a shout out to my man Tronik Beats who's helped out a great deal on the album and has three tracks on there produced by him. He's the executive producer on the album and has been part of the project from the beginning. Check out a song I did with him on my previous release here:

Anyway, stay tuned for updates!
