Do Your Label Run The City?

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.

Takeoff was the glue’: Atlanta’s rap scene mourns murdered Migos member Zaytoven, Ray G and Justin ‘Meezy’ Williams pay tribute to the youngest of rap superstar trio Migos, who shunned the spotlight to remain a humble student of his craft Christina Lee  @MinaAnnLee Mon 7 Nov 2022 10.41 EST Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Share via Email No matter how Atlanta’s music community first learned, on 1 November, that Takeoff had been killed – whether via alarmed texts or social media posts – the overwhelming response was one of disbelief. Not just because one-third of rap superstar trio Migos had died at age 28 from a shooting at a Houston bowling alley, but also because the whole incident seemed so out of character for Takeoff in the first place. “A lot of people are good people but get caught up and do bad things. Mistakes happen – I know that happens in life,” says Justin “Meezy” Williams, who manages rapper 21 Savage. “He’s not one of them. So it doesn’t hit me as somet...
