In an effort to further enhance the success of Roc's live performances and retail sales, entertainment and hip-hop veteran "Perry P" will be accompanying Roc to further stimulate relationships with radio stations, retail outlets, and Roc's growing fan base. "Perry P" has successfully performed similar promotions in the R&B and hip-hop world for over 20 years. He has been sought out and worked for some of the biggest names including Janet Jackson on the "Velvet Rope" among others. In the past "Perry P" has also worked directly with the Universal Music Group and Death Row Records.
"The response to Roc on tour with the Ying Yang Twins has been outstanding and we feel response to his second single will be tremendous," says Ellis. "As I understand it, radio is being serviced as we speak and my job is to now translate that into sales. On this leg of the tour, Roc will be adhering to a daily schedule of radio station and retail appearances where he will be giving away tickets to the local performances of the Ying Yang Twins and himself. In fact, Roc will be introducing himself personally to all of the key elements of the media. Our plan is that as Roc's profile grows we will continue to see an upward trend of retail sales of his CDs, digital downloads and ringtone purchases from on-line stores like iTunes, Sony Connect, X Ringer, and Zingy. We have major momentum now and it's time to put Roc in top gear.
Management also announced it will be sending a camera crew along for the tour so fans can connect with Roc as he goes from city to city by watching footage of "Roc Monee-MY STORY-MY SONG" on channel MOTV1 on YouTube.com. The footage will include exclusive performances of the tour as well as a behind the scenes look at what it takes to become successful as a new artist in the game and the ever popular backstage pass moments where he interacts with his fans. MOTV on YouTube currently has 1324 subscribers, has reached 8.5 million views recently and is the No 29 most viewed (All Time) Directors and the No 66 Most Viewed (All Time) overall. The channel has achieved this in less than 90 days which is very impressive considering the sheer amount of content available on the YouTube platform.
"Bringing the fans closer to Roc Monee using MOTV1 is a tremendous opportunity for us to enhance the rest of our promotional campaign for his album," says Jeff Daas of MOTV. "When people get a chance to see him and hear him as a person, not just a performer, he becomes a person that they can identify with. We are excited to see how fans of the network respond to the footage from the tour."
