How many homeboy artist on here have gone out of state to promote and sell music?? Did you have any success?? Was there a big market sell your music to in the state you visited? Where did you go? & How was it compared to promoting and selling your music/cd's in cali?

I think more artist should try and do this to try to help expand the HBR genre. A lot of southern rappers already get their shit distributed nation wide. I think northern cali rappers should too. Plus, you might have more luck selling music out there than you do here.

What do you guys think.

I noticed that too last time I went, at phoenix state fair, booth after booth jus flooded wit southerner rap. I think I jus saw only DRF 'From the Barrio Wit Love' N 'Gang Stories'.
Same wit Las Vegas flea market.

Chico had got signed to phearless records before they got jammed up and rico'd, u can see their s
adds on lowrirders mags from last year, cheeks ain't really a rapper though, he put out that war games cf for the love of the game, but he ain't on that heavy promotion, doing shows type of shit, he known in the Hood though he from the east side, I got pretty much all his unreleased material enough 4 a whole album,
