Hey fam,

I hope you're doing well! Have you heard about SoundCloud's Fan First feature? It's a game-changer for independent artists. You know how frustrating it can be when you upload a track and it seems like no one's listening? Well, SoundCloud is finally doing something about it. When you upload a new track, the algorithms will push the song out to 100 people who are most likely to like it. It happens instantly and is crucial for gaining traction for the first few days. The wild part is it's not being sent to bots but actual people so the plays count as streams for monetization. This is something they are playing with to see how effective it is before implementing it automatically. This move from SoundCloud isn't just another feature; it's a clear sign that they're on our side as artists. They want to make sure we get heard and paid fairly. I thought you'd be as excited about this as I am. If you haven't already, give it a shot and see how it works for your new song. Let me know if it works for you. Blessings.
