5 Reasons You Should Never Buy SoundCloud Plays, Likes And Followers

Post originally from Omari MC . Buying SoundCloud plays has become a popular thing to do with aspiring artists, DJ's, and producers on the site. Everyone is in a mad dash to be heard, and sometimes they may even sink to the level of going unheard in order to make it look like they were heard. With this I mean that most of the services that offer SoundCloud plays use bots or fake plays in order to fulfill the requirements they tell artists they can give.

You're not wrong, those are the STEMS. But this new music format created by Native Instruments (I'm assuming) is quite different from those STEMS you're used to know from the remix packs and remix competitions. So, let's see what we know so far." About STEMS. Native Ins
