Dooood my 18 yr old son is a breakthru rapper in UK who’s just bringing his debut mixtape to the public domain. I’m a vet in the biz been making beats and Producing underground independent hip hop music since 1987. I’ve been managing him and coaching him for last 2 yrs building his studio boosting his confidence and trying to get him industry ready. We clash on lots of things but none so much as him getting his head around branding and fans making a mental link between what the see and what they hear and how that relates to show they feel and what they think when they hear his music. I’ve sent him this video and I know it’s just gonna be an epiphany moment when he glues it all together. Very useful very helpful video and you done broke it down simply and succinctly thank you
This was the most clear, succinct and comprehensive music branding 101 video I’ve ever seen. From an up and coming artist on the riiiiise: thank you sir lol 🤠
I'm not a rapper but this is really great stuff since we have to do soooo much of the work for ourselves as indie artist. Time for me lto elevate. Glad I found you on here. Thanks
This is the video. From the first statement you said, this is the video I subscribe. Been watching you for a minute now just off suggestions. I'm weary of any RUclips how to just because its for the money and not to help, and I know education is a lucrative option for RUclips. But this is real and actually helps. Thank you my man. Career coming soon and this has been a huge help.
Thank you so much seriously a lot of other videos are extremely vague and kinda leave you scratching your head and this is exactly what I needed a step by step how to. I appreciate you man🙌🏾
I love designing as well as rapping. I can make my own logo and make it 3D. I love 3D logos with realistic looking chrome. I can design a futuristic brand and logo. I've been designing since 2012.
Ahaha after dropping out of design college not so long ago I do remember reading that designers hate doing work on logos competition wise if they arent getting payed for certain..
Trust me I just watched similar videos and this one is the best .....you get straight to the point No bs ....kinda remind me of youth pastor mentor Salute😭👏👏👏💯
Really great info and tips! I guess the trouble is for some people..(ahem, like me) that we aren't sure quite what feeling we are trying to evoke in viewers / listeners with our branding... I guess that's where the "finding yourself" element comes in. Like how do you market yourself if you don't know what exactly you are trying to say with your music and art? Or am I over analysing? 😜
Good video and article bro. U did good explaining "BRANDING! I'm a DJ... Newbie Rap Artists...and Streetwear Clothing Brand Designer...so fonts logos... Hex code #s... are familiar to me.
Thanks most people talking about how to brand yourself dont even bother how to tell you how to brand yourself. Most dont even bother telling you what it even is. They sound more like gurus lol
It all starts with your rapper name though, if u feel like u could come up with a better name than the one u have now then change it before it's "too late", will pay off in the long run👀
Hello Drew! Thanks for the upbeat perspective......refreshing to hear and you must be a great guy to work for or alongside....that's my take away AND that it not be so BLASTED COMPLICATED!! For real though......many thanks!! And time to get back on the drawing board for one of the "last times" where branding essentials are at hand Cheers from Toronto, Ontario, Canada 🍁 🖤 💋
i’m not very popular in my town but i know that really doesn’t matter truly it does to a certain extent but sometimes true talent can actually propel you, i have the talent but branding wise it’s bleak for me, i know i’m an amazing versatile writer, just need my opportunity so i’m taking on the role as the artist to get my name and work out there
Hello Drew, i wanted to ask do i NEED a logo? Is it absolutely necessary for branding? Because i cant find any place to fit my logo into... My social media pages profile picture shouldn't there be my picture for example? Where would i even put the logo? I tried looking for some major or even not so major artists using logos but they all used professional pictures as their profile pic for everything... I wonder should i post a professional picture or a logo as profile pics. Or can i have both somehow and if so where should i fit them? Thank you
As you said.. too move back too the music, but great! A lot of rappers haven't any or very little visual art notions/big interest, imagination and/or talent and are not really intersted about the visual way to express their.. unikness, what defines them. Not willing to be rude or what at all, just saying because all this is really unpersonnal and personnaly, loving visual art since and doing it since before music I need to create all this by my own.
If I make my own graphics and what not, are these tools something I should still look into? My profile pic is an example, just the first thing I made to post with my music on SoundCloud.
Or just start drawing, just a bit in you're free time, learn a bit of basics easily with good yt channels, what I mean is your profile pic is very simple, even me who's very beginner in visual art can make way better ;)
I think you spelled “He first defines branding in an easy to understand manner and then tells you exactly what sites to get all of your branding done affordable or even for free” wrong
13 minutes no ads? We need more like him
Do you knw how youtubers make money? You actually lowkey wishing him bad, but I get you😂💯
I click the vid on saw an ad 😂😂
Actually all the apps for logos and all are his Ads lmao
All I got were ads

i actually didn't know the difference between serif and san serif fonts so that was a nice surprise fact lol ! lots of good info in this video 😊
It all starts with your rapper name though, if u feel like u could come up with a better name than the one u have now then change it before it's "too late", will pay off in the long run👀
Rapper names are the LEAST of your problems... just pick one and move on...
This my weakest area...branding...these tip should really help me though..great road map to get started!!!
Thanks so much boss,am blessed!!
Hello Drew! Thanks for the upbeat perspective......refreshing to hear and you must be a great guy to work for or alongside....that's my take away AND that it not be so BLASTED COMPLICATED!!

What am I supposed to do with my logo?
May be a stupid question here but does the cover art on my music need to match my brand colors?
Amazing content thank you!!
Welcome!
Thanks for the help man!
Cheers, Light!

Fa sho
My RUclips might grow now. Thanks
If I make my own graphics and what not, are these tools something I should still look into? My profile pic is an example, just the first thing I made to post with my music on SoundCloud.
Better to get a professional to do it
Or just start drawing, just a bit in you're free time, learn a bit of basics easily with good yt channels, what I mean is your profile pic is very simple, even me who's very beginner in visual art can make way better ;)
'surif' lmao, good tips tho my man
Star Wars reference 😂
Branding isn't that hard to learn, but it is the most important thing as a music artist 🧢
Do you like coaching or making music better big bro?
Hmm coaching this year at least
Thats dope bro. Ur easily the best rap coach in the world i think
I’m rebranding myself right now because I felt I did it wrong the first time. All of this is perfect
You can get a logo made by yours truly 😌
Aubameyang little brother making RUclips vids now
Great videos man!
But Liverpool better then man city;)
Haha
why are your speaking facing outwards??
Why man city bro?
Oasis
I'll save u 14 mins. Literally all he says is get a logo and do cover art, and to pay attention to how you speak
I think you spelled “He first defines branding in an easy to understand manner and then tells you exactly what sites to get all of your branding done affordable or even for free” wrong
@@HowToRapOfficial exxxxxactly, lol. great content, thank you!
Self Made Musician his name being Self Made Musician makes the comment even funnier 😂 but thanks for the advice, guys!!!
