so you want to be a famous rapper? So you think posting in facebook music groups all day will blow you up? So you think shooting videos & doing shows every weekend will get you notice? So you think you don't have to invest in marketing & promotions? You are dead wrong! This type of thinking will keep you working a 9 to 5 & dreaming of making it big. You must have your music on many platforms including national & indie Mixtapes. If you're not the hottest in your city stop rapping! If you're scared to spend money stop rapping! Without promotions you will stay in the same position you was in last year! Alot of rappers always saying this year is their year & nothing happens! Remember don't blame no one but yourself! We have seen artists with no talent blow up with a major fan base because they understand the business! If you're not about business stop trying to be a artist or you're going to embarrass yourself & your family when you never ma...

You are not a independent recording artist! You are a rapper that's dreaming of being a independent artist or a major recording artist. A rapper post in facebook music groups, attends open Mics, place their music on low budget Mixtapes. A rapper will dream forever only listening to their own ideas of how to promote music. Think about it, if you're still in the same situation with your music career you was in last year. Something is definitely wrong. To be a independent artist you must invest in marketing campaigns, people must be talking about you. As a independent artist you must travel & do promotional shows in different cities. Don't just do shows month after month without building a fan base. Because all you will be doing is wasting your time. To be a independent artist you must build your social media up. Stop being a rapper 2017 is almost here! Be successful stop dreaming you are not a star! Nobody knows you! You are actually dead when it comes to the music i...

When most major artist release a album, single or perform. they always have promotions all the up to the event or release. Remember you want everyone talking about you. So you should have the internet going crazy blasting out your name. Most indie artist drop a single & don't invest in any promotions. Doing shows every week will not help you sale records or streams. Most indie artist just love to perform. But if youre serious you should be more focus on making money & living your dreams. Artists blows up everyday & its not because of open Mics it's because they listen & invest in promotions.

Getting magazine & blog placements are very important to promote your music projects. Most magazines & blogs have over 1.5 million readers. This will get more people looking at your videos & reading about you. If they like your music they will follow you on all your social media sites. Remember they must like the music! People will only buy what they like or love. So the main reason to get in some major magazines is to get the feedback & see if the public likes your music. It doesn't matter how good you think your music is. It's all up to the public to decide if they are going to support it. Now if you don't get your music in magazines / blogs you will not get the opportunity to advance your career. Because people will not know of you. Posting on facebook all day will not cut it! People will not click your links. It's better to look & be professional & get your music in blogs & magazines. Magazine placements will not make you a star over...

We notice alot of managers & indie labels that think they Know everything about the music business. Most havnt sold more than 10-100 records online. Spending $500-$1,000 on promotions will not help. If you dont have a HIT! Record. & follow simple steps!! Some indie labels put out 3-4 singles in less than 2 months. This is not smart at all. The goal is to focus on 1 single for 3-4 months. That will give you time to spread the single to more fans. Everything must be in order. Focus on building a buzz 2-3 hrs away from your city. Dont focus on the national radio stations in your city. Focus more on the club DJs. & people who DONT know you. You should be saling 50-100 CDs weekly. & attending as many events you can out of state. Having your music in rotation on a couple of stations is not enough. You must also contact radio DJs & service your music to record pools. But the first goal is to have a HIT record. It doesnt matter if youre in every hiphop magazine in the co...

A listening party & a get together are two different things. A get together is when you invite friends out to listen to your new music this is actually a waste of time. Think about it. Did they buy your last project? NO! Because friends are not consumers. They will tell you that you have a hit record just to put a smile on your face. But after they leave your event its back to everyday life. Because they are not the ones that can break your record. Most artists that don't know the business will give up shortly. Most just think they know it all or get tied up with a amateur manager. The correct way to throw a listening party is to first find the biggest most popular club in your city. Invite the top radio Djs & Magazine / Media outlets. These are the people who are able to break your record. Next step is to make a add in your local news paper. You should have flyers & posters for the event. Invite bloggers & people you don't! Know to get honest feed back. Now...

who's the real plug? You are the real plug. Dont be fooled by fake management. That dont have a clue on the business. Most just like hanging around major artist & taken pics to fool you. but can they put you in position to get a major deal? No! How can you notice whos real or fake? Well a real manager will never throw open mics or showcases. A manager would rather focus on building a artist fan base. Helping them put out original music to get the artist numbers up. Because this business is all about numbers. A real manager will be able to land a artist a major deal in 6 months or less. See this is what a real plug can do. Or have the artist in all online & retail stores. They should also be able to connect you with some of the top Djs in the business. Now that's a real plug!

While some females artist try to sale records by getting naked or having a fake image Niella D gets straight to the business of hiphop. Releasing many mixtapes & attending rap battles all over philly. Most recent project is her national release with Madstreet Entertainment ((YCBM2)) with many standout songs. Be on the lookout for more music from this talented young lady. You can stream & purchase ((YCBM2)) at all major online stores.

getting your music in ITunes, Amazon & Other online stores is just the first steps to sale units. You must have marketing & promotions to reach buyers. Posting Your buy links on Facebook all-day will not help you sale your music. You must have all your business in order. You should have your publishing in order also remember this is a business & in every business you must have a budget for marketing. No matter how good you think you are or how naked you get on your facebook page. No one will buy your music!!! Don't let so called friends blow your head up. Or amateurs that think they know the business. Be honest with yourself & grab a book (learn the business) just take a look around your city & look at the artists in Your town doing the same things every weekend opening up & performing for free. Without getting the music to the major Djs & the streets. Rap or R&B you must have a budget for promotions & connect to the national Djs. This will ...

The biggest scam in the rap game is showcases. A Indie artist may pay $50- $250 to perform for other artists & people in the business that can't or has no attentions on helping them. Most industry people are paid by the promoter to show up & host the event. Everyone gets paid!!! But not the artists all performers. Rap/Sing & go back home broke!!! No record deal!! But its always a prize to get you involved. Maybe free radio play on a station only other artists listen to or free promotions. No real promotional campaigns. & they will also include a $500- $1000 prize. Only people that will win the money will be a artist the promoter already manage. This is not to help any artist advance in business. Remember the industry is all about numbers if T.I. Was at the event you will not get a record deal. You must first have a hit record & a buzz!!! Not a couple of your friends telling you that you have a hit record. madstreetmedia@yahoo.com

You want the truth? Can you handle the truth? If you have 20 tickets to sale for your upcoming event & nobody buys them. Something is wrong!! You telling me your so called friends are not supporting you? Ok well tell them you are having a bar B Q. Watch how many niggas show up. Ok! Now we see the problem!!! You are promoting your music to niggas that dont want to see you suceed. We all have family members & even they dont support!! So what should a artist do? We have the answer! Want to make more money from downloads? Stop promoting to niggas! Want paid shows? Stop promoting to niggas! Want a buzz? Stop promoting to niggas!!!! madstreetmedia@yahoo.com

so your manager or label tells you they have booked a show for you. But it cost $60-100 to perform. Now ask yourself, who will be attending this event? Any major Djs? Or Media outlets? Also will this be a show full of performers & not real fans? Most indie shows are nothing but artists performing for artists. Now how would you be able to sale CDs at the show? You wouldn't all this would be is a waste of your time & money. Some artist just rap to show off but why? when you leave the event you are broke? The goal is to make money from your work. Most artist just love to perform. But if you're over 20 you should be doing it as a career. Because you can perform & home for free. You should also ask the promoters how much are the tickets to the event & how many people they think the venue will hold. This is what you will need to also get your performance pay from ASCAP or BMI. You must let them know about all your shows. Now I bet your management didn't tell yo...

Request all singles at your local & national radio stations. In May they will also start up a new internet radio campaign sponsored by Madstreetmedia. For bookings & Features contact: 1-800-943-8861 extension 800 veeeffff

So you have sold a couple digital downloads & your royalty payment was $100 This does not mean you will be booked for shows. So what does being book for a show mean? Ok well first you are being paid to perform at a venue. Doing open mics are not the same. To really get booked you must have a fan base. Most start up managers will blow a artist head up. Telling them they are the next big thing since sliced bread. Offering them shows but no pay. Artists must understand really how the business works. No one is going to pay to see someone without a hit record or someone they don't know. Having digital distribution is not enough. You will need marketing campaigns and promotions. Now ask yourself what blogs are you featured in? What magazines are you in? Do you have FM radio campaigns? Are you out in your city getting sales from your music? If you're not you will never reach your goal. No management will be able to help you if you don't help yourself. Now ask yourself i...

The music industry is a very different business these days. You have starts up labels on every corner most are just that. Having a label means putting together a campaign that will help the artists or artists on your label. It has nothing to do with having your artists perform at club after club for free!!! That is not the way to run a label. You must have distribution with release dates for all projects to be released. Promotional & marketing budgets must be in place. Street teams are your next step this will give you coverage on the area you need to target. All social media marketing campaigns must work together with your street team. You must have a strong online buzz & I'm not talking about posting on facebook or twitter. You should have a PR company to have you featured in blogs & magazines. Photo shoots are also very important. Make sure you have nice clear pics. Now let's get to the business.

Why your music is not moving any units? 80% of artists are like hoes jumping from management to management or indie label. Most of them will blame the label or management. When they feel they are not succeeding. But let's take a closer look. Did you promote & market yourself? Did you have a budget for FM radio? Did you have a budget for indie magazines & major magazines? No!!! Did you press up CDs & get out in the streets & sale them? No!!!! Did you throw a album release party? No!!!! Most artist don't know the real work it takes to put out a project. No indie label going to invest a penny if you don't invest in yourself. But let's forget about investing. The best thing you should do is (READ) about the music industry. Don't look at major artists & think its a. Piece of cake because you will have to work your ass off to succeed. When you wake up music should be on your mind. When you're eating music should be on your mind. Because only the...

Are you a indie artist? No you are a rapper. This is what rappers do= release mixtapes after mixtape. Post all day in facebook music groups, Perform at all the local clubs in the city. Tag friends on facebook & club every weekend. How will this get you real fans? Most will never learn because they surround they self with people that don't know the business. Bad management telling them that they could get them a deal. Really? No label or major artist going to sign you if you don't have real fans. Or a regional following. Local friends are not fans they will never purchase your music at all. You need to focus on being a indie artist. So what does a indie artist do? First they put out good music. With marketing campaigns & promotions. Hire a PR team setup a promotional tour 5-6 cities. Drop music worldwide on Online platforms. Get music to radio the correct way. Get in national magazines & blog sites. Doing this will put new eyes on you. & you will look more pro...

Do alabama artist really know how to promote their music? Lets take a look & see why you are stuck in your city. As we pay close attention to most artist in this city we see artist doing the same things over & over. Release a mixtape post it on Datpiff & promote in the city for one month then its on to the next mixtape Remember to really break a mixtape it takes at least 4-5 months. Also after you promote in your city you must reach out to other states & cities near by. Posting your music in facebook music groups is a waste of time. You will need real promotions and marketing. I also see major radio stations in the city having open mics. Why would you spend your valuable time to perform for a major radio station open MIC. When they wont play your music on the air? That's stupid!! Artists need to learn the business. Dropping Mixtape after mixtape. Also remember your hood only loves you on facebook. Get out and create real fans of your music & don't be afra...

Paul,MN DEPZ records their music from the same studio that Prince the artist records. with engineer Josh Levi Single: ***TONITE*** by DEPZ (((Impacting Radio))) The single is about living in the hood & living the street life.

Would you buy a car & never put gas in it ? Think about it!! Now why would you get distribution without real marketing & promotions? Every successful indie artist & major artist have a budget for marketing / promotions. Remember scared money don't make money. Distribution is to get your music into the stores. Marketing & Promotions is made to get your music out of the stores. Remember the key is to get paid from your talent. Everyday I see artists royalty statements at 0.00 or 0.02 in sales. As a Indie artist you should be getting paid in many ways. From physical street sales (CDs) Royalties online, Publishing royalties, & paid shows. But remember you can't get paid shows without promotions & marketing. Also, performing at every event in town or out of town will hurt your career. Don't follow what other unsuccessful artists are doing.

Sorry!! But if you believe this you are a damn fool!! Do you think a major label really needs to go on tour to find acts? No! Record labels dont care how good you rap or sing. At the end of the day its about numbers. No real A&Rs from major labels will charge you $100.00-$200.00 for performance slots. Do your homework call universal or defjam or interscope. They will tell you its a scam!! Ok. You still have faith because someone you thought knew about the business was supporting it. Smh ok do this!! Sign up see how many people show up. Also check the venue because if it's in a night club or some cheap building. You have already been scammed. Also be sure to find out who won so you can keep up with how they are doing. If they still posting in facebook music groups. They didn't get a major deal but spent money on nothing. But a dream!!! People sale dreams everyday!!

alot of artists / labels may think they run the city. But are they just releasing mixtape after Mixtape? Or are they putting out original music & getting paid royalties? Most indie labels & artists just do what they see major artists doing. A major artists can put out a mixtape & do shows for 10k or more. What are you doing? Going out of town doing free shows is not "Running the city" Do you have major distribution? Do you have a budget for radio? Can you get a paid show in your city? Are the national outlets talking about you & your movement? Everyone is trying to break into the industry but don't have a clue on how it works. You must first have good music & a budget. Open mics will not get you fans. Doing open mics only tell the public you are broke & would do anything for a deal. If you're not investing into your artists or label. You will not make it in this industry. My best advice is to keep your day job.

Most artists think they have real management. Because someone tells them they can make things happen. Really? Truthfully most people just play & pretend to be a manager. You can find these types of people in every city. Maybe they know & are friends with alot of club promoters in your area. Most of them love going to concerts & events just to take pictures of them with stars & industry people. Or maybe they have a online blog radio station. But be real! What are they really doing for your career? Most major artists won't even look at a indie artist if they don't have numbers. So when your manager tells you he or she is the plug. Ask them how? & what artist have they worked with. To be truthfully nobody is or has a plug. Because you are your own plug. Management should be teaching you the business. Not having you doing open mics & following behind major artists. This is what local managers do. have you perform in all local clubs in your city, sig...

why rappers stay local? 1. Soundcloud 2. Open Mics 3. Posting all day in facebook music groups 4. Reverbnation 5. Bad management 6. They already think they famous 7. No budgets 8. Buying fake likes & views 9. No real promotions or marketing 10. No talent

You do not have fans you have friends. a friend will only support you when its something free (mixtape) a friend will tell you you're the hottest thing on the streets. A friend will tell you to try out for the open MIC contest. A friend will hit like on everything you post on facebook. Now let take a closer look! A friend will not go online and purchase your music from ITunes or any other online store. A friend will not tell you you're music is garbage. A friend will not tell you to stop acting like you're famous. You don't need friends! You need fans! So many artists we see doing the same as they did last year. And the year before that. Posting in every facebook music group. Why? No one cares about your music but you. Why? Post your music to other artists? All day. Stop wasting your time and get real promotions & marketing if you're not setting goals with your music you are lost. Bottom line most artists are not educated at all it takes a good mind to do any...

What can your indie label offer to artist? Do you have major distribution? If so good. But can you get their music to national radio? In order to be a real label you must be able to get your artist to major radio stations & on Billboard charts. Being a real label is not about having a label release party without having a full staff or the proper management of a label. What can your label do for a artist? Throwing open mics & showcase's is not what labels do. How can you fully run a label when you say you are still learning the business? But take a look at who you are learning from. Are these people just facebook labels? Facebook managers? If so the artist you have on your label is in trouble & you & your artists will always stay in conflict with each other. Because most good artists wants to move to the next level. But if you have open mic artists you'll be good because those are the ones who will never progress. So ask yourself what can you provide for a ar...

What is your manager really doing for your career in the music business? Most artists do not succeed because of management. & some artists will blame their distributor or label. Now let's take a deeper look. The labels job is to get the music into stores. Rather online or physical. The label gives you opportunities to submit your music to as many blog radio stations & indie digital magazines. Most labels does this to see how well a single or album does on a small platform. After all submissions are made now it's up to management to get all emails from label / Distribution to follow up with the outlets making sure their artists are following the outlets on all social media sites. Management must make sure artists are always updating their twitter page because believe it or not twitter is one of the top sites for music promotions. After the first level of indie promotions. Management should reach out to label about major promotions. But this level can't be achieved i...

The reason most indie artists will never make it in the music industry. Is because they don't understand the business of music. All they see is the fame. Most don't even know about EPKs, BIOs & other important business documents. Remember your homeboy can't be your manager if he or she don't understand the game. Because that's exactly what it is a game & you must play by the rules. Reverbnation, Soundcloud & Datpiff will not help you if you don't have a hit record or a image the public will accept. Why drop mixtape after mixtape when nobody is really supporting you? 300-500 likes are worthless if you can't get a paid show in your own hometown. Alot of artists already think they are famous. Sad! But it's true. Most will forever work a 9to5 job until they just give up on the music. Why? Because they listened to the wrong people about the music industry. Just because someone takes pics with famous stars don't make them a manager. By the way...

In today's world everyone thinks they are a manager,record label, or artist. Some have never been in the major industry. Having a soundcloud & facebook page doesn't make you a artist. & having distribution doesn't make you a record label. The goal is to learn as you go, listen to people that may be able to truly help you. Alot of uneducated rappers & singers. Think a distribution company or record label is supposed to blow them up. Or they ask the stupid question " What can the label or distribution outlet do for them? It's not what we can do for you. But what can you do for yourself? Do you have a budget to get on top major sites? Have you recorded a hit record that major Djs would play? Do you have a real EPK & not reverbnation? Do you have a marketing and promotional budget? If not you are not ready for the music industry as a artist. Too many artists thinks this is a get rich and famous game overnight. The truth is, maybe you don't have a hi...
