Alright Dody6—this is the blueprint to turn your Kendrick feature into a launchpad for a lasting career. I’m breaking it into 3 parts:




PART 1: 30-DAY ROLLOUT PLAN





WEEK 1: Heat Check






Goal: Let the world know who you are and what you just did.



  • Day 1-3:
    • Post your Kendrick verse clip on IG/TikTok/YouTube Shorts.
    • Add “Featured on Kendrick Lamar’s #1 album” to bios.
    • Update website/linktree with press photos, bio, and the feature.

  • Day 4-7:
    • Drop a high-quality freestyle or mini-doc (60 sec) of your come-up.
    • Tease your next single: show artwork, studio clips, etc.
    • Start outreach to blogs, podcasters, and influencers (see pitch email below).





WEEK 2: Spotlight Time




Goal: Drop your first solo single and own the narrative.



  • Release your single + visual (YouTube premiere + teaser clips for TikTok/Reels).
  • Behind-the-scenes post: recording the song, how it connects to the Kendrick track.
  • Go live with fans, talk about the experience.
  • Book at least 2 podcast or YouTube interviews this week.



WEEK 3: Expand Reach




Goal: Solidify you as a serious artist.



  • Start a “Who is Dody6?” campaign—series of short videos breaking down your story, influences, process.
  • Drop a visualizer or acoustic/mellow remix of your single.
  • Feature announcement: tease collabs you’re cooking with others in LA or beyond.
  • React to fans reacting to your Kendrick verse (YouTube Shorts/TikTok gold).



WEEK 4: Monetize + Lock Momentum




Goal: Start making money & establishing demand.


  • Drop a limited merch line: shirts w/ a lyric from your Kendrick verse or your new single.
  • Launch your email list (for tour dates, merch drops, exclusive tracks).
  • Drop a short EP/Deluxe w/ 2-3 more songs (even if rough mixes).
  • Perform locally: pop-up shows, open mics, listening party, live session.




PART 2: PRESS & PITCH EMAIL TEMPLATE




1. Press Outreach (Blogs, Podcasts, Mags)



Subject Line:


“Meet Dody6 – The Voice Behind That Kendrick Verse”



Body:





What’s up [Name],



I’m Dody6, an LA-based rapper who just landed a feature on Kendrick Lamar’s latest album—the biggest album of the year. My verse has been getting serious attention, and I’m reaching out to build on that moment with a new single and an upcoming EP.




I’d love to hop on your platform and share my story—from freestyling in Crenshaw to being in the booth with Kendrick. Let me know if you’re down for an interview, write-up, or feature.



Press kit, music links, and contact info below. Appreciate your time and energy.





Peace,


Dody6

2. Brand/Collab Outreach (Fashion, Cannabis, Lifestyle)




Subject Line:


“Dody6 x [Brand Name] Collab Opportunity – Let’s Tap In”




Body:





Hey [Brand Name],



I’m Dody6—an LA rapper who just featured on Kendrick Lamar’s latest album. With that spotlight on me, I’m planning a major rollout and looking to align with brands that reflect the culture and energy I come from.





I think [Your Brand] and I could create something fly—limited drops, event activation, even co-branded visuals. If that sounds like something you’d explore, let’s connect.





Peace and prosperity,


Dody6

Let met fix some things for you.

Gnx is the first album to ever make 8 independent artists (independent is a key word here...) pop at the top of the billboard.

He should have done something with it, just like Az, instead of playing video games and buying rings and chains.

We're not talking about helping artists that already signed deals or whathever, but artists that were indie. And some of them just signed a deal thanks to GNX.
