<\/a><\/p>\nComing up Meek Mill, aka Mr. Philadelphia wasn\u2019t the typical aspiring rapper shopping for a record deal or hatin’ on other MC\u2019s. Instead he was busy pushing out mixtapes and posting videos on YouTube. From a marketing perspective, Meek Mill definitely made the right moves to getting noticed because mixtapes are one of the best marketing strategies in the game. Whether it was consciously or subconsciously, he built his fan base by being consistent. With a strong following already under his belt, Meek Mill made a distinctive move that was the turning point in his career. He retweeted Rick Ross on Twitter numerous times and then tweeted that he needed him on his\u00a0\u2018Rose Red\u2019<\/em> track. In short, it got Rick Ross\u2019 attention and the rest is history. It\u2019s ok if you didn\u2019t listen in math class, IHH has your back. Here\u2019s the equation, take notes: Mixtapes + YouTube + Twitter = Maybach Music Group.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Meek Mill\u2019s advice to other rappers tryin’ to make it:\u00a0\u201cGo hard. Man, don\u2019t never depend on nobody. People always think they gotta get a track from somebody to be hot. A lot of people say \u2018let me get a verse and maybe I can\u2026\u2019 Naw, you don\u2019t need a verse. I ain’t never had to get a verse from people. Just go hard and continue to go hard. And five months from now it might seem like nothins workin and that\u2019s how it was. Cause before the XXL and the Maybach situation I was jus killin mixtapes and for the last year I was like man I gotta step up from this mixtape game and go nationally instead of killin’ the tri-state. And I been workin hard, I never gave up on workin’ hard and next thing you know\u2026couple months later XXL, next week later Maybach Music. It just comes from workin’ hard. It always works.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Post by:<\/em> Rosie J<\/strong> –\u00a0music marketer\n
