Internet's Most Popular Rap/Hip-Hop Podcast is now available in iTunes Music Store
For those who have been keeping up with digital trends in the music world, the concept of podcasting is nothing new. And for those who have also been keeping track of the hip-hop podcast game, the Mixtape Show (www.mixtapeshow.net) should already be a familiar name. The show is already the most popular hip-hop / rap downloadable show on the internet, and is now the biggest hip-hop download in Apple's iTunes.
The Mixtape Show podcast is essentially a half-hour mixtape show produced and released weekly, with underground and exclusive tracks from some of the industry's most respected and talented players. The show can be played on the site, or downloaded just like any other mp3, allowing users to play them on their computer, burn to CD, share with friends, and enjoy however they like for free.
The podcast feature of the show is similar to Tivo it also allows users to subscribe to the show. Shows can be automatically downloaded every week into iTunes and onto the subscriber's iPod or other mp3 device all for free. The show is also prominently featured in Apple's iTunes Music Store software, meaning that anyone who searches for "rap" or "hip-hop" keywords within the program will easily find the Mixtape Show. Currently thousands of shows are downloaded daily to computers and iPods around the world.
Each weekly show contains live mixes or exclusive interviews. Artists that have been interviewed on the Mixtape Show include O.C. of D.I.T.C., Bavu Blakes, The Source Unsigned Hype alumni Young Hootie, and more. A partnership with Larceny Entertainment is also in place, bringing West Coast rap fans weekly episodes of the Grand Larceny Radio Show, including underground and exclusive tracks from both up-and-comers and major industry artists alike.
The Mixtape Show covers all regions and all flavors of hip-hop from East Coast to West Coast, Dirty South to Canada to Uganda. If it's in the streets or in the suburbs, it's on the show. The site also features reviews and commentary on the aspects of the industry that are usually left out by major hip-hop media.
The show was previously sponsored by Motorola on the old network and currently advertisers are encouraged to contact Dex Digital for sponsorship opportunities. Artists and labels are also encouraged to make contact for track placement and further information.
