"I see up-and-coming artists
paying hundreds of dollars every day for mixtape placement, just for a 'chance’
to be heard. For the price of a full tank of gas, some of the top execs in the
game will sit down and really listen to what you have to say, guaranteed. I wish
there were opportunities like this when I was coming up." comment issued by
K-CINO, CEO of SSC Records.
