This is just a piece I Constructed myself, in a Mind of sharing knowlegde of music that I THINK I have. We then Shall Call this Hustle 101.
This is to all Emcees Out there who are serious about music. I'm Not talking to the dude's that are just Fortunate Enough to buy Equipment to record with, But Doesn't have Passion for Hiphop.. That's Why We Have soo Many WHACK rappers.
First things first, as Moja pooh once stated, Its Important to be under a proper Management. Forget About Record Deals, Firstly Start by Having someone who You trust, Someone who knows Your Music, Who'll manage You. Look at Abdus, Manelis, and AKA even (They Have good Managers).
Rule Number 2, Don't go to Radio Stations by Yourself, Managers will do that for you.. Apparently, Its a Bad Move to go by your self.
You can be successful without being signed by someone who's gonna demand huge things from you, or even change Your Style of music. Do Good music, You'll be recognized. That's All Needed.
Another thing, Having 5 000 Downloads Does not mean Its a Great Achievement for You.. Doesn't mean all 5000 people that Downloaded your song like it.. Be Glad that 5000 took their time to take a listen to your music.
I Don't have Problems with Uploading Your Songs Here, But Can You Atleast Make sure that Your music is Worth Listening? Let's keep making GOOD music. Let's make People Listen to Local Hiphop - That's the Aim!
