The thing is, times are changing and it doesn't matter how fucking dope it is. You won't get there by being dope af anymore when the whole world is based around social media, youtube-artists and the attention span of a 5 year old kid on a coke binge. The market is so full of new stuff there's always someone new to check out and your name won't really be around unless you're on someone's playlist or available in general. You won't get out of the ''project''-bubble unless you start to reach out as soon as possible. What you're saying there only seems like excuses to not taking the next step already now. Unless you want to stay in the confines of the underground rap game on text forums and maybe a few local shows and that's it...

Fucking do it dude, get your name out of the textcees realm. Give it an honest shot. It's already decent enough to start building a fan base. If people can see and hear your progression as well it'll only build on to what they think about you and whoever you work with. You'll also get a bigger understanding of what attracts randoms that don't know you from before, who stays and what people in general like that doesn't know everything about the steps of being a rapper or producing music. Get it started mah dude.

In general it's also a bad move to ''I got some dope shit available but you won't see/hear it, you gotta buy it'', it's basically holding the few listeners you got now ''hostage'' and people generally don't like that or it pushes them away. What you want to do in the early stages is to build your fan base and attract as many listeners as possible so the word can get around. Want to make money too? Get them on iTunes/Bandcamp/Spotify/etc. now so people can get into it and ready for your next project. Call this one a ''test run'' if you want, might as well know the ins'n'out of everything if you truly want to focus on your next project. Then you won't need all this stupid shit taking time off of your day when it comes close to the release date, and you'll know exactly what to do regarding these kinds of stuff so you can focus a little bit on pr here and there as well.

J.Cole was a fucking forumhead at a board I used to frequent. You think he would have reached the mainstream crowd if he had stayed there, only releasing music on SC and making shit with randoms on CC? Nah. It's not how it works. I'm not saying you should do the same as him or go soft with your lyrics or anything like that, just saying that you need to get moving, get out of your comfort zone ffs.

You don't want ''probably my next project'' to be the fucking mantra of your rap career because that's where you're heading now.
