The Mixtape Marketing Blueprint
While record labels chased playlist placements, DJ OP Dot took Seyi Vibez’s music to the streets through:
1. Strategic Track Blending
Curated mixtapes that sandwiched Seyi Vibez’s raw tracks between established hits, creating subconscious familiarity.
2. Competitve Stratetgy
Utilizing the beef between Seyi Vibez and Zinoleesky to curate various mixtapes that emotionally force music listeners, especially fans of both artists, to stream their songs and argue over who’s better.
3. The “Request Effect”
Designed mixes to end on Seyi Vibez’s songs, prompting listeners to ask “Who’s this last artist?”
4. Introducing Old Tracks
Now everyone just wants to stream Seyi Vibez, and listeners are only limited by what their favourite digital platform shows to them based on the algorithm. DJ OP Dot can use the power of mixtape to manually gather all Seyi Vibez’s crafts (old and new songs) and blend them.
By the Numbers

Why This Worked When Playlists Failed
Unlike algorithmic playlists, DJ OP Dot’s approach exploited:
- Social Proof: The playlist gained massive reshares from top blogsites and those under
- Digital Proof: It positively affects all his songs on digital platforms
