[b]H*TF[/b] aka [b]H*TOWNZFYNEST[/b] is a tight collective of conscious MCs hailing from Zimbabwe's Sunshine capital. Our mission is to put best of Harare's Hip Hop talent on the map, and carry the torch blazing the trail for young entrepreneurs in the music business. [b]Why this name?[/b] 1 part location, 1 part intention, 1 part mission statement! Its pretty self-explanatory... We R and endeavour to put the fynest our city has to offer in the form of hip-hop, on the map and into the stratosphere! [b]Internet's effect on the industry?[/b] We think its changing for the better... Independent/underground artists can now get their music out to the masses at next to no cost, and are able to target specific markets and market segments. Sites such as this 1 are a perfect example. Would you sign a record contract with a major label? Yes, No, Mayb!

Great response.... Shopped around a lot, Several shows, marketing online, word-of-mouth, (spamming), a lot of rejections and 'almosts' and here we are.... Fittin To BLOW!
