One of the biggest scams in modern music isn’t illegal streaming, fake streams, or even bad contracts. It’s independent artists paying full price for music distribution accounts that are already limited.

Platforms like SoundCloud and DistroKid will gladly take your yearly payment upfront. But the moment your music gets flagged, taken down, or reviewed for streaming issues, your account can be restricted without warning.

You’re still paying, but you’re no longer distributing.

This is where the system fails independent artists. There’s no pause on billing. No partial refund. No real appeal process that moves fast enough to matter. Artists are stuck watching their money drain while their music sits in limbo.

At MixtapeHustler.com, we believe artists deserve transparency and control. Your grind should never be at the mercy of automated systems that don’t explain themselves.

If you’re serious about your career, you need platforms that focus on promotion, visibility, and ownership — not just distribution buttons. MixtapeHustler.com exists to help artists stay active, visible, and moving forward even when distribution platforms slow them down.

Never let your momentum depend on a system that doesn’t depend on you.
