FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Memphis, TN (Rap Newswire) - October 27, 2008 - MemphisRap.com relaunches website with
enhanced digital music services, video and features for those in the music
and entertainment industry.
MemphisRap.com, the Mid-South's largest music and entertainment site
reintroduced and launched its public beta digital services site and online
TV site on Friday, October 24th, 2008. Outside of its daily news site,
MemphisRap.com's new music services and social community site gives artists,
producers, labels, Djs, models, filmmakers and others alike the ability
to sell digital downloads, concert tickets, promote projects, merchandise
and more while connecting and networking with others.
Artists, labels, producers and Djs who become a part of the newly relaunched
site can sell an assortment of digital downloads and products and buyers
can purchase them instantly from their individual online store as well
as concert tickets and merchandise. Models, dancers, and filmmakers have
the opportunity to sell their videos, photos, and more through the network.
Members can customize their user profiles and can even share their customized
skins with other members of their friends network, create their own individual
video channel playlists, radio stations and more. The new site also makes
it easy to find the latest and newest talent with a simple query through
its search interface while providing online music charts, blogs, event
listings and more information on those registered.
"We are thrilled about relaunching our services. This is only an expansion
and upgrade of our web-based music and media site," said MemphisRap.com's
Online Media Director Charla Littlejohn.
"One thing I've learned since the beginning while being with MemphisRap.com
is not being afraid to start again, taking risks and even trying to enhance
what we're working with. With our newly relaunched site, we're not limiting
the talented, we're giving them a canvas to make their presence known.
In addition to this, we'll be spotlighting those who join the site by featuring
them and getting our editors to hand-pick artists, Djs and producers for
our online radio playlists and adding those that fans have requested,"
states Littlejohn.
"MemphisRap.com will continue to provide music and entertainment news
while making the site structured to be in line with the next multimedia
platforms taking place online," adds Littlejohn.
Another primary focus of the site is to offer registered members an
avenue to earn from digital sales as well as merchandise sales. Though
not all the Industry and fans have moved away from CD's, digital sales
have become quite the comfort and alternative income source for independent
artists in particular who can somewhat become work-at-home entrepreneurs
selling digital downloads over the internet. Without the time to manufacture
CD's, and the time to promote themselves all around town, artists can look
to MemphisRap.com to offer them another outlet to promote their music and
sell their music while monitoring and managing their sales from the comfort
of their PC or laptop. All the while, registered members can make new connections,
maintain strong connections with others in the community while staying
abreast of the latest news and trends via Memphisrap.com daily articles
from Memphisrap.com editors and from the registered members blog sites.
"MemphisRap.com gets emails from people all the time asking about booking
the artists and other people that they see on our site published in our
articles. Maybe now the new site will give registered users a presence
on the site and this will have the interested parties emailing them with
the opportunities," stated Director/Founder Hosea 'M Town' Mays, Jr.
"Plus I like the mix of talent that we now house on the site, from artists
to models to Dj's to FilmMakers, it opens up doors for connections I believe
was missing from the site and will benefit everyone in the long run," adds
Mays. "With this expansion, MemphisRap.com will have a combination of news
and media, plus more ways of connecting with those in the Industry seeking
to make connections."
"We feel that providing a multimedia site that combines social networking
and news, is and will be what's popular and that's what we're going for.
Although the site may look complete we're still working everyday to make
it better," adds Littlejohn.
MemphisRap.com invites visitors to create a member website, blog, network
with other users and to share their experiences. And joining is free.
