You can’t gatekeep good music. 🎶

Some of the best artists, producers, DJs, and songwriters in the world are still waiting to be discovered.

So let’s make the comments useful:

👇 Tag one artist or producer more people need to know about.

No follower-count requirements. No industry politics. If the music is 🔥, put us on.

You can’t gatekeep good music. — Rap Pedestal

🎤 ARTIST SPOTLIGHT: TRENDZ LUCIANO

🎧 Spotlight Song: “Get Some Motion”

Trendz says you can’t put him in a box, and he’s looking to prove it with plenty more music on the way — plus moves into movies. 🎬

Tap in with @trendz_luciano and let us know what you think of “Get Some Motion.” 👇

With thousands of songs dropping every day, making good music isn’t enough — artists have to give people a reason to connect. 🎶

At the 3rd Annual Orlando DJ Summit, Tonii Boii spoke on what it takes for artists to connect with listeners in today’s crowded music landscape, while the conversation also touched on something Rap Pedestal believes heavily in: building real relationships between artists and DJs.

🎤 Representing the artists:
Tonii Boii — Crosstown, Orlando, FL
Block Forever — Soundview, Bronx, NY

🎧 Representing the DJs & radio:
DJ Ray Rok — La Nueva Party FM
DJ D Strong — 102 JAMZ
Lizzete Perez — 102 JAMZ

The music might get you heard once. The relationships you build can keep your name in the room.

What do you think matters more today — the music, the marketing, or the relationships? 👇

Man this one was special.

Last time I saw J. Cole was around 2009 in Orlando. He came back to Orlando in 2011 and did The Beacham, but I couldn’t go because it was my daughter’s 2nd birthday (hard decision 😂). So being able to see him again all these years later in Dallas was crazy.

The Fall Off Tour was 🔥. Production was on another level, the band was incredible and hearing all those older records definitely brought back some memories.

Even got to see Kyrie Irving in the building 🏀

Great night. Glad I got to experience this one.

Rockstar finally cleared me to say something… 🎮🌴

Been sitting on this for a minute, but yeah — your boy made it into GTA 6. 😂

Can’t say too much about the mission or who I’m connected to yet, but just know when you get to Vice City… don’t skip the cutscenes.

They really got the fit and everything. 😭🔥

See y’all in Vice City. 🌴💰

Stop watching what everyone else is doing. Your path, your timing and your purpose are your own.

Focus on your vision. Put in the work. Make your own moves. 🎯

What move are you making this week?
