Don't sleep on what's happening in the music world around you. Peep relevant music news that happened this week. I surf the interwebs continuously (frequently with bags under my eyes) looking for music information & news that is good for independent artists of all genres to be aware of and aid in the advancement of their careers. I tend to tweet this information more often than I share on other social media outlets (Facebook, Google Plus, LinkedIn, Tumblr, etc), but here's a "go to" list in the event you've missed my tweets or the posts of sites that have provided the information. These posts typically exclude sensationalized mainstream gossip such as supposed "hip hop beefs", "who's dating/'whatevering' who" & other stuff that may be entertaining, but won't help you advance in your own endeavors.
