3vDirect.com would like to introduced our members to the On The Grind Mixtape series, which was built on the concept that every artist with the money doesn't have the music and every artist with the music doesn't have the money. The goal set by On The Grind Mixtape was to establish a level playing field where artists with good music could get the promotion they need without all the games. So, instead of charging independent artists $500+ for a song placement on a mixtape, On The Grind Mixtapes charges a small $20 submission fee.      All song submissions are then listened to and rated by a panel of DJ's, Music Producers, Marketing Professionals and A&Rs. After each project deadline the 15 highest rated songs are placed on a promotional release and we then distribute 5,000 FREE copies to the consumers and industry taste makers. We also launch a 3 month promotional campaign including Email Marketing, Text Messaging, Twtitter, Facebook, Myspace, Datpiff and various other social networks.

This can be a good opportunity for our site members whose looking to gain more exposure. SIGN UP TODAY & tell On The Grind Mixtape you were referred by 3vDirect.com

"I think we have all sold out in some way, this song really captures that, our fans have really been engaged in this whole thing", Tranchita adds. The single reminiscent of an old Johnny Cash tune is full of spark and meaning. It bridges that divide we have seldom crossed between good music and solid lyrics. The full album, Voodoo Devil Woman will drop in December of 2009. You can get a sneak preview of the Devil Song at www.myspace.com/fit2fail, or at Jango.com.
