FOUNDATION MEDIA: RADIO PROMOTIONS DIVISION

E

Foundation Media has been very successful at creating awareness for artists and labels through a focused approach of radio airplay and tracking. Through years of radio experience, we have established excellent relationships with the top Hip Hop college and mix-show radio DJs and other influential tastemakers in the top 200 U.S. markets, as well as in Canada, Europe and Asia. We make sure to get your records into the hands of the best DJs and to get those records played and charted. In addition to their radio work, these DJs and tastemakers promote events, throw parties, DJ in clubs, write for magazines, and participate in other endeavors that can strengthen the awareness of your project. Foundation Media has enjoyed a high level of success with our promotional efforts and has consistently earned Top 10 rankings in all the major Urban Trades (Rapnetwork.com, CMJ, RapAttackLives.com) for our clients.

Quote: 88.2 FM – DJ Awer – Paris, France

"This is a good actual track.  Is it me or Naledge sound a bit like Kanye? Maybe the Chi-Town accent.  The production is cool, south style."

Artist:

Talib Kweli

g

Title: "Hostile Gospel"

g

Label:

Blacksmith Records

Project Specifics: Foundation Media and Blacksmith Records reunited for the grassroots promotion of the latest single from Talib Kweli, the Just Blaze produced "Hostile Gospel." There was a strong buzz on this single at the format which helped drive the sales of Kweli's new album Eardrum well into the second quarter of 2008.  The single was particularly well received as it peaked at #1 on the college charts.  In addition, there was a lot of buzz on the "Hostile Gospel" video which we helped spread around the internet via the different blogs, podcast DJs, and internet radio stations we work with.
