Raleigh Raps: The Source of the 919

Being an artist can be a highly rewarding experience if you’re lucky enough to connect with a target audience. However, it can also become frustrating at times, especially when your talent goes unnoticed and flies under the radar.

Raleigh Raps is a North Carolina based platform dedicated to shining a spotlight on particular artists from the 919 area. The Weekly Roundup report is a new segment designed for artists to gain exposure for new and future projects as well as music-related announcements.

The Song Review section selects a track and meticulously breaks down the good, the bad, and the ugly within in. If your song is a hit, the overall rating will surely reflect just that. If it isn’t up to par, get ready for some constructive criticism and advice, which will hopefully allow you to grow and elevate as an artist in the end.

The Raleigh Raps 2019 Certified Bangers section showcases the best songs of the year and gives each one an extensive, well thought out write-up. The segments range from turn-up tracks, big vibe hits, and songs that display a pure passion for the art form. And if that isn’t enough, the editor caps it all off by nominating their choice for Song of the Year.

It’s a great time to be an artist in Raleigh, North Carolina.
