As Artists We like to Collaborate and Work with Others to Create new Sounds an bring New ideas to the Table. I think its a Great way to Get your Sound out there and get your Projects heard by more Music fans. We Collaborate with Other Vocalists on Tracks, MC's, Some times Producers for the Beats and a great way to get your tracks heard is to Send stems and give Producers Opportunities to Make Remix's of your Favourite tracks.
