Mixtape cds help artists sidestep record companies.

 In an industry where label politics can dampen the output and sales numbers of numerous talents, the New Hip-Hop Mixtapes scene can be a haven free of promotional fees, shoddy advertising and the greed of choice executives. For instance, Brooklyn rapper AZ made a notable fortune hitting the streets, and sidestepping Motown Records to release his fabled “S.O.S.A.”(Save Our Streets AZ) mixtape in 2000. Mixtape cds will always be a part of rap culture. Always has been and as we can see always will be.
