Forbes interviews the founder of DatPiff, a website featuring mixtapes from big-name and unknown musicians.

"Mashups mixtapes are some of my favorite too," Datpiff founder and CEO Marcus Frasier tells me over the phone. "It's so creative. But I've heard a lot of crappy mashups. It really comes down to the DJ's talent."

If that sounds like a fan more than a CEO, fair enough. But Frasier's enthusiast attitude has fueled a site and a social media presence that is -- or at least should be -- the envy of anyone trying to build an online entertainment community.

According to Quantcast, the Leesport, PA-based website is pulling 9.8 million visits from 3.8 million people per month -- more than 86 percent of that audience coming from the United States. The social presence is equally impressive: 227,705 likes on Facebook and 92,469 followers on Twitter as of this post.
