KingJRtheMusic 1st hip-hop artist veri ied on Audiomack
MBABANE – Local hip-hop artist KingJRtheMusic has become the first hiphop artist to be verified on streaming platform Audiomack.
Audiomack is an on demand music streaming and audio discovery platform that allows artists and creators to upload limitless music and podcasts for listeners through its mobile apps and website.
On the platform, he currently has over 4 300 total plays on the streaming platform and his songs average over 1 000 listens each. One of the benefits of this is that the artist monetises his music as Audiomack pays royalties to master recording rights holders as well as to songwriters and their publishers.
What does this mean exactly? According to 1710media.com, once your Audiomack account is authenticated or verified, it allows you the artist or creator to unlock some special benefits like sending all of your fans a message once you release a project, gaining access to automated notifications and submitting artists’ songs to be listed in ‘trending chart’ which ultimately boosts that particular artists’ reach.
Quite elated by this, the rapper shared that this meant he was headed in the right direction with his music and he was proud of himself as the hard work he has put over the years was starting to show.
