Company description
From the CEO - Lil Fats...
I started Coast 2 Coast Mixtapes in 2006 with hopes to give myself, the
artists around me, and all the other artists in the independent music
world a fair chance at good promotion that would actually reach the
music industry and create a larger than life buzz. Two short years and
almost 100 mixtapes later, we have been blessed to be able to work with
some of the biggest hip-hop and R&B celebrities in the game,
including: The Game, Pharrell, Nas, Lupe Fiasco, Chris Brown, LL Cool
J, Kardinal Offishall, Styles P, Fabolous, Gym Class Heroes, David
Banner, Flo Rida, Ciara, Ron Browz and many more. We have also maintanted a great
relationship with all the DJs putting in work in the game as we are an
advocate for DJs worldwide and live and breath the phrase, "Respect The
DJs!". Throughout Coast 2 Coast's history, we have been able to work
with the most powerful DJs in the game including: DJ Khaled, Big Mike,
Clinton Sparks, DJ Noodles, DJ Chuck T, DJ Whoo Kid, Mick Boogie, and
more.
We take pride in creating valuable working relationships with major
artists and DJs and also opening those connections up to all the
independent artists that we work with and provide effective promotion
opportunities to. Through all the overnight mixtape scams, digital
blast frauds and other scam-like companies who are trying to rob money
out of independent artist's pockets, we are here providing the same
quality service that we always have. We continue to live up to our BBB
and Paypal Verification Standards as well as delivering the same great
promotion to all artists who use our services, regardless of any bias
opinions different people may hold, allowing them to put themselves in
the same arena as the major artists in the game and to reach an
audience that they would have never been able to reach before on their
own. Thats is why were are here doing what we are doing.
In the past few months we have more than tripled the hits and
downloads that we are receiving on our brand new version of our
website, coast2coastmixtapes.com and we have started 2 brand new
mixtape series with HipHopGame.com and HipHopDX.com as well as expanded
our mixtape distribution to over 50 more mixtape websites and Hip-Hop
Blogs who continually stock our mixtapes for download on their sites,
making the total number of sites who post our mixtapes in the hundreds.
Our exclusive industry mailing list has now grown to over 25,000 active
contacts and is growing more rapidly each week. The new Community that
we have added to our site is giving away a free custom mixtape package
to the winner of the Artist Community Contest every month as well as 2
free mixtape spots to the runners up just to give back to independent
artists all around the world, not just our clients. The new Blog that
we have added to our site also has shed light on the mixtapes that we
do as well as the major and independent artists that are involved with
them.
We will continue to open doors for our clients and the artists
who work with us in the mixtape world, magazines, hip-hop websites,
digital blasts and all other promotion markets. We also encourage all
of our clients to fill out the Artist Satisfaction Survey that we have
sent out to ensure that we can answer the needs, questions and concerns
of all the independent artists that we work with. For those artists out
there that we have not yet worked with, feel free to submit your music
at www.coast2coastsubmissions.com for info on how to get on the next
mixtape and we look forward to working with you and helping build your
promotion efforts as well as your career as a whole.
Business model
We provide corporate sponsors a chance to reach hundreds of thousands of consumers online and in physical form on the mixtape series. We also have the ability to insert ads in all formats in one way or another on our mixtapes including print, online, audio commercials in the mixtape, and video in the mixtape. By combining all of these elements, we can reach numerous markets and targets to provide highly effective campaigns that cover ground on all avenues of advertising. We also have a physical presence in over 60 countries around the world as well as web traffic from all corners of the globe.
We also charge Independent Artists for promotion by combining them with major artists that host a promotional mixtape project. We also give each artist that buys a slot hundreds of promotional copies, and hand out thousands to our street teams in all the major markets. We also do custom promotional mixtape packages for clients that allow them to shine on the same level as the major artists through our mixtapes. Our mixtapes and projects are featured on over 100 music sites and over 100 music blogs, totalling approximately 500,000 for each project through our network.
