9. Do artists need a online presence or a street presence to get on?
*I feel like u need both....because if cant nobody vouch for you in the streets...you will be looked over...no matter how much you campaign on the net....but at the same time...if you got a buzz in the streets but don't push it on the internet u are going to miss out on a lot of potential fans and a lot of opportunities ...so u must stay in the loop wit the cyber world
