Title says it all, there is no easy way to get any rappers because I can't find them; got anything for me?

I'll rap for you. Not that I'ved rapped before but I'm pretty confident in my lyrical miracle abilities. MC Micco in da house.

Just gotta put yourself out there. Social media, book shows at small venues, collab with other people on your level. Underground hiphop is everywhere, you just gotta find where it goes down in your area.

Where you from?

Inland Empire, California.

Not much of a rap scene since the events that do happen primarily happen in Downtown Riverside around Back to the Grind but it does exist.

The nearby Los Angeles county has a more prominent rap scene but it's a long drive from here and there. If I lived there I'd have a chance at rap but I have to make due with what I have.

You're in Cali and in driving distance of LA ffs. There is no better place in the world except maybe NYC for hiphop resources. Sounds to me like your just not doing the work. You either get lucky or you grind it out for years to slowly get recognition (if you're even worth recognizing)...

Look at people like Grieves.

I would PM Trollheart or Urban Hat€monger. Both of them are really good emcees and we're open to collaboration when I asked them.

Social media tbh. Listen and talk to other artists and eventually you will get there.

Can I listen to some of your stuff? I'm an Italian rapper but I rap in English Italian and French, and if we like each others doing something together would be interesting. From cali to Italy

Hi I also rap from Canada. I use the software SkyTracks.io to collaborate on my songs with other musicians in the U.S. Please let me know if you want to work on songs together, we could use SkyTracks.io... I works really well and its free!
I could share my existing projects with you see what you could do to make it better.
