Everyone I've talked to about this album has been really receptive. If they don't normally listen to rap, I still give them a disc if I think they might be easily swayed, etc. Everytime, they are blown away by how "different" Tech is and how he "stands out" from the rest of the Hip-Hop crowd.
But you know where I've had the most success?? My little brother. He is in High School, so I gave him like five samplers and some flyers and asked him to see if anyone was interested at school. You know, if he had friends that would be interested in that type of music. He calls me that next day after school, telling me he needs more. So I gave him like 12 more with more flyers, and sure enough, that day after school he calls and says that there is a buzz going around the school about Tech N9ne, and he needs more samplers! I was like, "Shit.... this is working better than I thought!" He said people have been talking about Tech N9ne with him and people in the school now know that he can "hook them up" with the sampler. He also said people have been trying to request Tech's song Bout Ta' Bubble on the radio and talking about buying the CD on Tuesday!
So anyway, normally I don't post shit up about promoting, so thought I'd share that with ya'll. Just in case you might have an opportunity to try the same thing.
