The Challenge
Independent hip-hop is an extremely crowded space, and with almost no monthly listeners, new releases weren't getting any algorithmic consideration at all, leaving reach entirely dependent on the artist's personal network.
The Approach
A streams and monthly-listeners boost concentrated on the strongest track gave it enough traction for algorithmic radio and playlist consideration, and the resulting listener growth carried into subsequent release performance. Save rates were tracked to keep growth aligned with genuine listener interest.
Services Used
“My next release opened with more first-day streams than my entire back catalog had before this — that's the compounding effect I was chasing.”
