Introduction

Welcome to Mingtae.net, the independent home for Boston's hip-hop scene and of Rob Alpert. This site contains pictures from hip-hop shows across New England, free hip-hop downloads from artists around New England, a calender of upcoming shows and so much more. Originally, this site was about Rob Alpert and his morning show, Rob and Gang, on WRBB in the 1990's. Today, the site continues to honor the tradition of the show with opinions about the world, restaurant reviews and games. This site has recently expanded to help promote the third coming of Boston hip-hop. With new artists emerging and old artists giving it another go, the time is right to really get out to the clubs and download those free tracks on-line.

Events Calender

For upcoming New England events, check out the calender. If you have a concert, event or album release and you would like to have it added to the calender, please e-mail listings@mingtae.net

Advertising

If you have an event that you would like announced to Internet, mingtae.net can help. We have a strong social media presence including Twitter, Facebook and Tumblr. We partner with Schmap It for announcing events over Twitter and a link to map the event. Space is available on the Events pages for shows and album releases. There is reserved space on the front pages available for major events. Please use the e-mail address below to arrange listings.

Social Media Services

With the exponential growth of the Internet, social websites have become increasingly important in communicating with fans. Facebook and Twitter has become the standard for artists letting their fans know about new albums, songs and shows. For promoters, social media sites are an inexpensive way to market upcoming shows. We are able to assist in setting up and maintaining fan pages on Facebook, Tumblr and MySpace as well as integrating Twitter. We have partners who design and maintain personal web sites as well. Marketing and communications is very important to the growth of an artist's career or success of a concert. We have the experience that is needed.

Photography

We have been going to Boston area shows since 1999 to photograph shows and post to our site for the entire World to see. Many artists are known to use these photos for their own Facebook pages and Photo albums. While there is no fee for using these pictures, we just ask for credit. We will come out to events by request to photograph the event and host the pictures. If you are looking to have a photo shoot done, we can also do this for a fee. We will take care of the editing as well.
