ReyShizz The Student: Self Promotion w/A Video Blog

ReyShizz The Student is a young rapper using a video blog format to both develop and promote his music.

What especially interests me here is the fact that though his work is still developing, ReyShizz already has a sophisticated range of web tools available that are easy to access with some nice Web 2.0 features.

The videos are hosted and streamed via Revver, offering YouTube type support and portability with the added potential for revenue.  Copyright issues are clarified via Creative Commons, donations via PayPal and a community feature via MyBlogLog.

ReyShizz is also offering a free mixtape for download with strong encouragement to provide feedback and to register for future updates.

That's a pretty impressive array of tools with some smart choices but nothing out of the reach of most folks these days.  It's kind of amazing when you step back and look at it in relationship to the previous limits on emerging artists' self promotion even as recently as the 90s.
