THANK YOU!!!
Had a listen to some of the tracks . Not my thing at all, but you will probably sell copies to the right market. Just one thing that I noticed though, you are looking for a guaranteed successful career i.e. money/sustainable income. There is no such thing - you are either committed to what you want to achieve or not. How much effort you put into it, how creative you can be and whether you can survive it if the market changes i.e. your style or music is no longer popular, is crucial in this game. A lot of success stories are down to pure luck. Being in the right place at the right time. To coin an old phrase - you've got to put your money where your mouth is. It's the only way.

I liked what I heard on Reverbnation. As far as career goes, there's too many factors other than having good music to have a certain successful career these days. So I don't know what to tell you there.

i just got around to listening to your youtube link.....
look, im not areal big fan of hip hop/rap, but the song i heard isnt too bad IMO...
there is definately a market for what you do..
your vocals are pretty good and sound 'real' and not forced like some of the rappers out there...
in fact, i think you are a whole lot better than half the crap thats out there in the marketplace and certainly better than most of the artists on Eminem's 'shady records' label, so go for it man, believe in yourself,get yourself out there as much as possible and keep knocking on the doors,eventually one will open and you will probably get the success that you crave.

Although I'm not a big fan of the style of hip-hop you make, I can tell you're a skilled rapper. As for the career, I'd say if your goal is just to make money off of it then it probably won't happen. You have to do it because you love it and keep grinding away to maybe one day make some success from it.
