Artist support
If you support, you get support back
The idea is simple: when you help move other artists' content, they help move yours too. That gives everyone more activity, more interaction and more chances to reach new listeners.
By artists, for artists
808Empire Records
A music collective where independent artists support each other to gain more reach, interaction and real opportunities.
The project
What is 808ER
808Empire Records is not just a group for dropping links. It is an organized community where artists support each other's posts and receive support on their own releases, reels and videos.
Organized system
The bot keeps everything organized
We use Discord, Instagram and a bot to organize links, announce what posts need support and review who is actually participating. This keeps the collective from depending on lost messages or manual lists.

We can create visual news posts for Instagram to build interest around your release.
Important
Simple rules to make it work
To keep the system fair, we have clear rules. We do not want people who only join to drop links and never support others.
It is not just link dropping
If you post, you also support
Each member has to support the posts assigned to them: watch fully, like and comment with the registered account. The robot now reviews automatically.
A truly active community
Your registration must be correct
If you change your Instagram, YouTube or SoundCloud username, update your registration. If the bot cannot recognize your accounts, it may count your activity incorrectly.
Registration
Two ways to join
If you use Discord, register from the server. If you do not have Discord, you can submit your profiles through the website and staff will review the request.
Recommended option
Register through Discord
Join the server, use /registrar and connect your Discord user. It is the easiest way to get alerts and talk with staff.
Without Discord
Register through the website
Fill out the form with your artist name and profiles. Staff receives it in Discord, approves it manually and then you can submit links.
