GetAtMe

Okay here’s this week’s GetAtMe Urban Airplay Report.  Kendrick Lamar LOVE is at the top in spins this week with over 500+ spins (this one was a creeper and it slowly rose to the top…)  Here’s the numbers:

• Like I said Kendrick Lamar’s LOVE topped the spins this week with over 500+ spins and NERD LEMON came in at num 2 with over 300+ spin increases (Rihanna as a feature is carrying this cut…)
• Num 3 is Lil Pump GUCCI GANG (all I can say is that it’s really selling and trending… #Ijs) and at num 4 is Remy Ma WAKE UP (the Nicki beef is dying down and the Biggie break is carrying this cut…)
• At num 5 is Jacquees AT THE CLUB ft Dej Loaf (this is a good song but it may have taken too long to get legs…)
• The Game’s new cut OH I ft Jeremih, Young Thug & Sevyn (what is this her feature name now…?) got 44 station adds but doesn’t have any sales on itunes (and in this market all those adds and no itunes sales signals to fans its industry driven. The Eugene Wilde “Gotta get you home” sample will buy time with radio but this cut is gonna have to earn its own in the street and in mixtapes/online.  The clubs are gonna do what it do… #WaitAndSee
• Our hot pick is a Cardi B protégé Hood Celebrityy and her cut WALKING TROPHY (this probably should have been a Cardi B cut just due to her momentum right now…) This is a great cut and Hood Celebrityy’s people are doing a great job in the streets and online (this cut hasn’t shown a mixtape demand yet and that may kill it with the kids…).  The instagram presence is crazy and its getting spot plays on radio in New York (so this thing can happen.  A great job in Muscle (streets & mixtape/online, product push…) has to be complimented with Juice (clubs/ radio, demand pull…).  All the muscle in the world has to be met with Juice and that will be HoodCelebrityy’s struggle (and usually you have to have that bag for the juice to ramp up quickly and timely… #ThisBusinessOfHipHop )

That’s this week’s GetAtMe Urban Radio Airplay report.  Remember “there’s nothing wrong with the record business that a good record can’t cure…”

When we started this blogzine GetAtMe (that my word I came up with…), I did it for the love of music for the fans and the djs.  I didn’t do it for the industry, it was always about the music.  You see the fans and the djs have a different relationship than the industry folks don’t have with music.  Fans and djs just love the music.  No hype, no politics, they just want to know what the next great song will be and who is the next great and interesting artist.  So that’s what we focused on.  We didn’t focus on likes and shares, we focused on the music.  You see real fans can’t wait for the next hit from their favorite artist and real djs can’t wait to find the next hit for their fans.  It’s a passion and it’s also a little bit about having pride in being right and being able to communicate that we were feeling this new song (I got that from reading Nelson George in Billboard when I was coming up…).

So to have the top 5 in urban radio in one week is a source of pride for us here at GetAtMe.  Some ask, “Do you do this for the money (“naw because some people are so broke that the only thing they have is money…”)?  I do it because as I’ve said on many occasions, “I love the hit song…” If I wanted more then I’ll get real estate…
