My Goal
The main goal of my Instagram, @nextuprap, is to help artists on the come up. There are not many people listening to underground artists with very little following (at least for free). I know that Adam22 from No Jumper does a live-stream where artists can pay somewhere around 50 dollars for their song to be played. For me, I am not at his level yet and I think I can differentiate myself by giving value to the artists for free.
You want exposure? You want business? Do things for FREE.

The Contest
The best way I can systematically listen to music is through a contest. I am constantly getting direct messages requesting to listen to music, and now I can finally have a clear cut purpose for doing so. Artists can enter submissions through using the hashtag #nextuprap on their posts or DMing me their music with the hashtag #nextuprap somewhere in the DM. I will be picking the top 3 submissions to be promoted on Instagram, and I will be writing a blog post about the songs, freestyle, etc on steemit.

Getting Steemit Involved
I really want to grow the hip hop community on steemit. Therefore, artists that win the contest I will be messaging to get them to join steemit. I will be offering a small reward of SBD for joining steemit (I will offer more as I grow on the platform).
If you are a rapper that is already on steemit and you want to enter the contest use the tag nextuprap on your post. You will be awarded SBD also.
Let's grow the hip hop community!
Love this idea! Excited to see who you uncover.
