In the age of digital promotion and marketing, there is one very important factor all major music labels are beginning to understand — “Visual street promotion and marketing techniques are part of the promotional future.”
From the late ’90s through 2010, Rap music street promotion companies made a huge impact when it came to making the public aware of a new release. Now, there are “Pop-Up Shops” and autograph signing sessions, personal appearances, and on many occasions, “Pop-Up performances” by new artists. Even the simplest of methods like placing advertisements on car windshields have exploded nationwide. One of the top executives in this field of promotion is Mr. KB “The Playmaker” Barrell.
Mr. KB “The Playmaker” Barrell’s company “Customs By Theplaymaker” is based in the city of Milwaukee, WI. Barrell covers several major cities in the Mid-West region including Chicago, Indianapolis, Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Detroit, St. Louis, Topeka, Cincinnati, and many other smaller markets surrounding those central areas.
It seems as if these old-school promotional/marketing efforts, instituted by companies such as “Def Jam” and “Loud Records” 20 plus years ago, have now taken center stage again within the Rap music culture. KB “The Playmaker” Barrell has never stopped catering to the streets and is at the top of his game in 2021-2022 with his non-stop street promotional efforts.
