Honestly homie music is how I'm eating right now, its my job. I just hustle and get everyone around me to promote... once people know its something you care about and want to do as a career.. they'll start helping you out, plus its not about being popular, just helping someone get through a rough patch in their lives or having some one tell me I helped them get through something is what makes me happy. 1 play could help someone get through a s-----y a--- day at a sucky a--- job. Just make art, do what you love... and eventually the plays, and popularity you seek will come.

Make mixes. People love huge club type sets and s--- on soundcloud for some reason, just be careful what's in it because soundcloud are c---- about copyright s--- anymore and will f--- your account six ways to sunday over it

Remixes are the same deal. Can boost your profile a lot and bring in a ton of plays if it's a popular artist... can also backfire and get your account f-----

Feature other artists with a decent sized following if you can, and be sure to be the one uploading the track so they bring attention to your account through promoting their part of it

Collaborate and release s--- often

Post about it on social media accounts like twitter/facebook/instagram/tumblr/reddit/talenthouse etc.

You can run campaigns for ad plays on sites like Feature.fm and get air play on internet radio going as well through sites like RadioAirPlay

Also, if you perform at all in person, or have any sort of physical version of your work, you can include something about your music online and give them an address to check out with any sort of merch bundle or flyer type s---

branch out and try and incorporate different s--- in your music to reach a wider audience if you feel what you're currently doing just isn't cutting it, or completely sell out and make type beat s--- to capitalize off other artists success

if you have a website, set it up with info and links to/about your music for streaming/sale

try contacting blogs to submit your music

follow people who make similar music in the hopes that they'll follow back or like/repost a track of yours, and unfollow those who don't follow back with something like UnfollowSpy

I realized a while back... the more I wanted a radio hit... the further away from it I got. Just keep dropping music... you never know what could happen. Nothing happens when you want it to, this type of s--- is out of your control just keep hustling homie, if your good s--- will happen at the right time.

also, no disrespect to anyone who goes through with music school, it does have it's purposes, but for something like what tpk is trying to do (building his fan base) it's completely irrelevant
