Step 1) Get familiar with our music programming. We're interested in all types of music BUT we primarily focus on Hip Hop, and R&B/Soul with a dash of Gospel, Dance and Pop. We give some priority to Colorado artists, but are open to artists from everywhere.


WE WILL ONLY CONSIDER CLEAN VERSIONS. THAT MEANS NO CURSING. WE FOLLOW FCC STANDARDS.




Step 2) Submit. Make sure you give us as much relevant info. as possible to describe your submission. DO NOT SUBMIT MORE THAN 3 SONGS IN A SUBMISSION. We may just skip your submission altogether if you do.




Step 3) Wait. We review submissions approximately once a month. If we decide to add your track to our rotation we will contact you directly to let you know when your song with debut on the radio. Good luck!




P.S.: ONCE AGAIN...IF YOU SUBMIT AN ENTIRE ALBUM WE WILL ENTIRELY SKIP YOUR SUBMISSION. P.P.S.: IF YOU SEND US A DOWNLOAD OR A SOUNDCLOUD LINK AND DON'T ENABLE THE DOWNLOAD, WE WILL SKIP.


P.P.S.: YOU MUST INCLUDE ALBUM/SINGLE ART

We give serious preference to radio-edits, meaning songs with no swearing. If your track is not clean, we might not give it a shot, regardless of how good it is.


Again, if you're familiar with our music programming, you already know what kind of music we vibe with.


Please be sure that you label your track with the Title, Your Name, and Label. If you don't have a label, let us know it is self-released.
