Loch Afro American Horror Story mixtape blog #13:Pushing on
Okay my last blog was kind of depressing, but it was honest. I try to be transparent as possible as an artist.I could portray this generic rapper image that everything is all models,molly,and money, but that wouldn't be true. And also it was a ploy to get some sites and ppl to check me out and it kind of worked.My views on the mixtape picked up a little. I, like any artists just wants to be heard and appreciated and make some money off of my art and sometimes it is very hard to be patient at something uncertain.Since my last blog I released a video for my song "Spaz Out" that has gotten featured on a lot of blogs and sites and I'm grateful for that.Thanks to all the sites and ppl who posted my video or mixtape.
As depressed and un motivated as I can get, I can be inspired that fast.Camps like Top Dawg,Action Bronson, and Joey Badass inspire me being able to make genuine music not conforming and winning. I value all opinions, a few ppl have suggested I tone down and make music for the southern market.I don't have the answers, but from what I see,creating a lane is better than falling in place and I'm just not the type of artist to conform and turn my back on how I see hip hop or at least my hip hop, maybe even to the point of it hindering me.I have made commercial music that really did nothing for me and underground music that has got me more attention, so that's my view.
Everybody has a different path,opinion, and view and I'm not backing down from mine, because I truly believe in it.I know I have to get my stage show crazy, make better music or a song that reaches a large group, and get some real promo.Until my music has been presented correctly all the way right, I can't blame it on just music or just location.There are a million real world scenarios of why I'm not where I want to be.I'm a lifer to this music game so i'm gonna work no matter what, but sometimes it does seem impossible.
The smallest thing can mean a lot like the other day a guy left a comment saying I was wack and should stop rapping and I'll never take off in music. I let it rattle in my head and even considered that maybe he's right, then I checked to see if he commented on anything music related and found he didn't, which made me think he wasn't serious, but it still kind of bothered me a little.I left him a comment like I do most ppl who say I'm wack(which doesn't happen often) telling him it's cool if you don't like my music, and it's okay he has his opinion.After I left that comment I got a comment back saying he was just trolling and my song was good.In a nutshell that's the life of the indie artist,constant ups and downs.Thanks

Loch Afro American Horror Story blog #12: Reality Check
As much as I would like to tell you that my mixtape, that I put blood,sweat,and tears into is doing great, I can't. If you've read any of my other blogs, you may know I've had quit a time getting this mixtape out. The harsh reality is I'm not getting the support I thought I would.Why is that,I can only assume a couple of things.The 1st thing is I just don't have enough promotion on this project.The 2nd thing is maybe the music just isn't appealing to the people, the 3rd is I just don't have a big enough fanbase.I can blame myself for a lot of those things.Of course I think the project is good and some , but not all of my immediate circle think it's good, but the real question is what do the people think.
For a project w/ no promotion it's doing okay, but not nearly what I want it to do.I know this mixtape will be a slow grind.I planned on getting a timer on datpiff and getting the mixtape sponsored, but I wasn't able to do it before the mixtape release and I felt holding on to the music any longer would kill the project.I am thankful for the people who did check out the mixtape so far.I feel like all the blogs and sites who were supporting songs from the project weren't really feeling me when my mixtape dropped.I haven't got my mixtape posted on any of the sites I sent it to,besides my core sites who really ride w/ me, the sites that formally supported me have not posted my mixtape or music.I got no choice, but to believe those people don't want to support me or this project, and that's their right.
I can't get mad because people aren't posting my mixtape or music, because those people owe me nothing.It's just a bad feeling when you put work into something and it feels like nobody wants to support you, especially when you have a legendary DJ hosting the project.Maybe the horror concept is too much for people?All I know is I have to get this project heard and listened to and appreciated.It's good quality music.I really thought after all the preperation and songs people understood I was dropping a mixtape w/ the music and they would support it, I thought wrong.
All is not lost though.The project is still fairly new and I got plenty of avenues to take.I really just wish I knew why these sites won't post my mixtape, but I guess the real question is why should they.After all this time I've put in I still haven't made a big enough fanbase.It's not easy to to get real fans to ride w/ you, but what's easy in life?I'm not complaining or whining, I'm just frustrated, but I got to use the energy to grind harder.
Right now I got 28 plays and 6 downloads on my mixtape. Not all the turn out wanted, but I'm extremely grateful to those 34 people and I hope they liked it.I guess going back to a blog I made, the music just isn't remarkable enough or at all.I'm guilty of fooling myself as much as anybody, but there's no way of fooling myself into thinking I'm making the best music,and have the best plan, when obviously the numbers don't add up.The game gets harder and harder and people are far less likely to help indie artists these days, especially if they don't see the buzz growing.
So all I can do is keep working and try to find out what the people want.We are at the whim of the people.They make us and for some reason I'm just not connecting.I guess I don't talk to enough people or the music isn't good to them or both.The reality check is that I got to do 1000 more things than what I'm doing, but due to personal issues, I can't support this how I want.Fuck it though, it's not the 1st project I dropped that hasn't done what I wanted.I won't stop Loch Afro American Psycho is still coming follow
