I Want To Hear Your Music

Are you a musician or do you know one?

I had an idea the other day, I use my Tumblr to promote my music and look at funny shit. I thought that it would be better for anyone who follows my blog if the music featured on it was not just mine, but a collective of artists. 

So, I thought that I’d put out the word to any artists out there who’d like to cross-promote their music with mine. It doesn’t matter what kind of music it is, from indie to experimental. You’ll notice a link on my blog (if you’re reading this in the dashboard, view my blog here) titled “Submit Your Music.” If you’d like to submit your music, or the music of someone you think should be highlighted here, please submit that music!

What to submit?

You can submit any of the following, in whole or in part and I will publish it:

  • SoundCloud, SoundClick or similar links
  • Music Videos
  • Your bio and/or a quick blurb about yourself

The only expectation is that you post my music on your Tumblr, and we’ll make the world go round with music.

“I’ve seen people open the lid on a can of worms that they used to bait a hook /
And go fishing for sympathy /
So I know I’m not alone in this /
I’m not the only one with problems /
And my problems are not unique /
So every time in the moment before I’m about to speak /
I remind myself to shut up … and say something /”

Hey dude, thanks for the follow on Soundcloud. If you're interested I'd LOVE to collaborate with you. I love Minnesota hip-hop so much.

For sure! That would be real cool. Hit me up on Facebook, Sound Cloud or whatever your social media poison happens to be.

Looking forward to hearing from you!

PS - If you love Minnesota Hip-Hop, then you would have loved the show I was at last night. It was the 11-year anniversary of the first time Atmosphere sold out the main room at First Avenue. Awesome lineup – Mally, Big Quarters, Kill The Vultures and Atmosphere (with a cameo from Brother Ali). It was absolutely fucking crazy!

My interview with Chris D of The D-List → d-list.co.uk

I’m honored to have been chosen to be the first artist spotlight that The D-List has done. It’s an absolutely great piece that really gives you an insight into who OneTwenty (read: me) is.

This blog is really taking off, and I’m so happy to have been a part of it! So please, if you have an interest in my music, or music in general, check this out!

Don’t forget, this Spring I will be releasing my debut EP. If you like indie hip-hop from the Minnesota, then stay tuned for my upcoming release. I promise you will not be disappointed. Follow me on Facebook for more updates.
