At the request of my homie (WHAT UP, BART!) I’m updating the submission guidelines for H1GHER LEARNING. If you’re interested–keep reading (if not, don’t get mad when I don’t post your music or tee shirt). I’m doing this just to get some uniformity with the entire process and for a tad more professional feel. Dudes feel some kinda way when you ask them to switch things up when your email ends in “@gmail” sometimes. So here goes…

Only TOPIC RELEVANT INFORMATION will be considered for submission on the H1GHER LEARNING website. If you’re new to this site or unsure about what is exactly “topic relevant”, please visit our ABOUT page and feel free to use the contact form to ask questions.

MUSIC SUBMISSIONS

music(at)h1gher(dot)com

Only music created by Southern based musical artist will be accepted for submission on H1GHER LEARNING. Please have all pertinent information available. Including:

• short artist bio
• track artwork and/or artist image
• for mixtapes and albums, provide a full tracklisting

Lastly, please include streamable links for individual tracks. If your unsure of what that looks like, please look below:

Of course we’ll consider other streamming links (Bandcamp comes to mind) if you have them. We’re just not trying to download viruses along with your track, bruh. You understand, right?

CLOTHING and EVENTS
