Ludacris and WeMix Let You Phone Your Way to Phame. Phat!

Ludacris and WeMix are teaming up to give budding musicians a new way to be heard:

“WeMix, the site he founded with former reality TV producer Matt Apfel, already accepts amateur recordings through a web-based upload tool. But on Tuesday, they announced that users will be able to call a number and enter a code to record directly onto the site from any phone, thanks to a partnership with In-Call Network Exchange provider VoodooVox. And this is no land grab — users keep the rights to their uploaded material.” (link)

And according to Mashable, they have a small cashification plan:

“The way the partnership keeps this service free is by placing a short advertisment http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advertising at the beginning and end of each song or track. But I don’t think this will be any sort of reason for complaint for the artists, who will soon be able to easily make a name for themselves thanks to the service.”

Is this the future of music?
