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.
