Haddy Racks’ #Mixtagram Drops Aug. 31
Haddy Racks has found a novel way to use social media to get his music out.
The New Yorker is using Instagram to release his latest mixtape – or “#Mixtagram” – seven one-minute freestyles accompanied by music videos.
“I wanted people to see that in being an artist, you don’t have to follow any guidelines,” the Bronx rapper told BOSSIP. “I wanted to do something different, something no one else was doing, and bring a different type of attention to my brand.”
Haddy Racks said he was inspired to create the Instagram-only music after nailing the recent #SoGone challenge and decided to take it further by dropping visuals and music on the social media platform. With other artists using sites like Instagram to bring fans to their websites, Haddy Racks said listeners don’t have to get off the platform to hear his songs.
“I wanted to make as simple as you can for people,” he said. “You don’t have to leave Instagram.”
The rapper said he plans to release one mixtape a month, with themes like the 90s and LL Cool J’s early music.
