That's where you will get the actual little notification.

All right.

So yeah, amazing.

Again.

The, the web is an amazing place.

You can do all sorts of things.

All right, speaking of amazing.

Let us go over.

An artist's website that we play on the radio show.

All right, let me share my screen.

Start screen, share.

Definitely want to have some audio because we listen to some tunes.

Okay sips share that.

Cool.

All right.

There we go.

Now, the group is called a green lights.

They're out of Chicago.

There are banned dig their stuff.

So we play them on the radio show.

We actually played them twice in the past, who shows.

So like yeah, we have been playing them because with the radio show, okay, so their website is green lights, music, dot org, and so let me go ahead and paste this link.

Here.

All right, so Green lights music.

So like I said, they're based out of Chicago first heard of them, when Big Shots a Tinderbox radio promotions.

I don't even know what it is, but like their radio promoter, and they send a bunch of independent music to the radio show, and if we like it, we play it.

And, so I have been digging, we have been playing green lights for minute.

Let me look that up.

So, the thing is, I have a I have been doing this for a minute, the radio show.

So back when Blogspot was like a thing.

We actually what I do is I kind of like catalog all the artists we played and so like, you can see right here, green lights music.

So we will be listening to this song A little bit later, but let me post this just in case if you're interested in like what we play on the show, and since I brought it up on the screen.

All right, so added to the list of They're so yeah, so when's the last.

So how long were you playing green lights music?

Let me check this out.

It's been a little bit been a while.

We have been playing them for a minute.

Let me see here.

So what's cool is, I can now search through this and then I can sort by date.

All right.

So, yeah, so the latest was yesterday, makes sense.

All right, so we started playing them like last year o, like, around this time last year.

All right?

Cool.

And the first track was a track called overdrive.

So, yes, we played them on two, three, four like four times.

Not too bad for like a new group.

Yeah, a lot of times we place so much new music and new artists that to play artist over and over again.

It's kind of rarity, so he must really like them.

All right, neither here nor there.

Alright cool.

So this is green lights music dot-org.

And so let us take a look.

All right, is made with Squarespace by the way.

Also, you can kind of tell because they will have like this gray square.

And so yeah, that's you need to kind of tell it.

So it'd be cool.

If they maybe have like a green star or something.

That'd be cool.

It's not secure.

So I guess you have to do that through your whoever's your DNS provider or whatever for Or green lights music.

But it would be nice if it was like HTTP and stuff.

Neither here nor there.

You know, let me see if it does do HTTP.

Let me see.

What does?

Okay, never mind.

So I guess the link on their site on their Twitter page.

I think it's just HTTP, but it is I take that back.

That's cool.

So it is what you call.

It.

Https secure nice.

All right, cool.

Alright, so let us take a look at this.

So scroll down.

So this here is green lights music.

Nice.

Okay.

So here we go.

So are they knew Chris?

Okay.

So since March, 20, 20, most performers, musicians and live, artists.

Everywhere were forced to take a break from playing live and deal with struggles associated with covid-19.

As we now see the light at the end of the tunnel this group of MCS and lab musicians are ready to hit the live circuit with a passion like never before.

So, then, all right.

So during the break of live music, green lights went on to the two full-length projects.

The both hell significant time in the top 10 nacc, which is like the National Association of college music or Communicator.

Something that is the college charts.

Basically hip-hop charts last summer and this winter.

So I guess are they knew again?

I don't know anything about the group.

So that's why we go through websites.

Both project would given High Praise.

So maybe they are new and that's why you start playing them.

Okay, DJ's all Gods country.

You give a generous amount of rotation, you know, we contributed to some of that generation generous amount of rotation from Hallie notable independent and College radio stations.

We try.

I am not, I don't want to brag and say, you know, we were notable, you know, but WP R k-- has been around for a while.

Let us see.

Do so based out of Chicago, Chicago.

Underground scene.

Okay, so that so, they're saying that they have like a native tongues type of feel word will listen to that.

They have solidified themselves as a more conscious, which is my moniker.

But breed of hip-hop, which is not too prevalent in rap anymore.

I mean, depends on what you look.

In the same, right?

You can see Chicago, hip-hop roots and green lights music.

Through punchline, driven battle Rhymes incorporated into intricate wordplay.

So, okay.

So this nice introductory sentence or paragraph tired.

Alright, so yeah so cool.

Now the picture of the group I like to hire.

Oh the hieroglyphics hat their logo.

Nice, nice represent hieroglyphics, and that's it.

And then they have links to their various social medias.

Cool, and then again, powered by Squarespace cool, and they give you, let the know, let you know the reference Chicago, Illinois.

All right, cool.

So then, let us take a look at some of these Pages up top here.

All right, cool.

What might be nice is to actually have the tracklist like written out for like Google and things, you know, the be able to pick that stuff up because I because Google can't read text on images, you know, I mean, or other search engines from what I understand.

If they start doing that, then we may be improved and problems.

But yeah, so here is the tracklist.

Cool.

Be also nice to be able to hear it.

So, okay.

So you click this.

You're a, you're taken to the band camp.

So we will take a listen to this later, but it would be if I click this.

Yeah, see, it opens in the same page.

I like it.

If it opens in a new that's my own personal preference because I will have to hit back.

All right, so cool, but it'd be cool because band camp gives you like players like that.

You can embed, it is cool to have one like maybe even under here, you know, I mean he could be able to listen to it, so, that'd be cool.
