Episode 23: Marketing Pt 2

 

Over the Holidays, Frantik has taken some time to learn about music marketing to push his music career to the next level.

Learning how to develop an identity as a brand, gaining an understanding of who your fans might be and making connections are the cornerstones of reaching a fan base as an artist.

It’s a work in progress but hopefully this can help local artists expand their reach and put a shine on the talented city of Halifax.

Episode 20: Jeff Cusick – 902 Lit Clothing Pt 2

 

Est. in 2016, 902 Lit Clothing is a locally owned, family-run, clothing company based out of Halifax, Nova Scotia. When we say family-run, we mean it – we are a husband, a wife, & two beautiful little girls – one ten, the other four.
We started this clothing company out of a genuine love for this place we call the 902. We believe that everyone should be free to express the love they have for the place they call home – or have ever called home, in a unique way. That’s what 902 Lit Clothing represents to us.
Our goal as a small, local business is to provide that freedom of expression by creating quality pieces that represent a passion for life, & a desire to be whatever you put your mind to. The majority of our designs are original works created by us, our ten-year-old even designs all the artwork for her “902 Lit 4 Kidz” line.
We also believe that supporting local is key to creating successful communities, that’s why we have all our garments printed here in Nova Scotia. We work where we live, & we love where we work! Be Lit. Be Proud. Be You.

It’s a debate you hear often amongst hip-hop heads. The truth is, the culture needs them both. The blend of traditional wisdom with youthful tenacity and ingenuity have been driving forces in the culture since its inception in the late ’70s.

Ghettosocks adept lyricism and slick laid back cadence have earned him a Juno nod, numerous awards, and the respect and admiration of both his peers and fans alike.
Fast Forward….
Some of LDN’s crew aren’t even drinking age yet. Regardless, they have been turning heads and making waves in the Canadian hip-hop scene. With 12 members, they’re pretty hard to miss.

Their sound can range anywhere from smooth melodic vibes, to guttural trap, to introspective and thoughtful. As a team, LDN sees no limits to what they can Accomplish creatively, and they shouldn’t.
