Do you want some airplay on radio? Of course you do. So I'm gonna be a nice guy and help you out.
1. Make sure your song is good quality and mastered.
2. Make sure your lyrics are clean or sensored.
3. Make sure your song is registered with SAMRO for royalty payout.
4. Make sure you get an ISRC number for every song. You get an ISRC number from RISA, corner Bram Fischer and Republic Rd in Randburg, opposite MultiChoice.
5. Write all the credits when sending your song.
Author: ID names (not your stage name)
Composer: This is what you guys call a producer/beatmaker.
Publisher: If you don't have a publisher, like most of you don't, then you can use SAMRO as your publisher.
6. You must have a press release.
7. Make sure your song is Mp3 format.
