Seeing more hedge fund billionaires getting into the music industry is inspiring. I guess we are in the golden age of music!!!

We all have to do our part to get the industry going the right direction. Labels stop signing creatives because of numbers. The numbers don’t always translate to success. Creatives take your time develop your craft. The consumer must also demand more from both!!

Either one can compete in that space or two possibly be her protege once she relinquishes her throne. Think about it the 80’s gave us MJ, the 90’s gave us his protege Usher and the 2000’s gave us Chris brown!! Who’s replacing Chris brown when he relinquish his throne?? I’ll wait!

Industry we have not produce a wide array of artist that will be considered legendary. If you disagree than think about this. Beyoncé has been dominating her musical space for the past 19 years which I find it ironic that the music industry has not developed another artist that

Take a step back and think about it. During the 60’s,70’s,80’s and 90’s you had a class of talent such as Elvis Presley,Marvin Gaye, the Beatles, Michael Jackson, Stevie wonder, Madonna and much more who arguably are all consider legendary artist! The past 20 years of the music

Majority to downplay the warnings that had been given for many years. It’s the same in the music Industry!! We are not building a proper structure to build longevity for creatives!! The reason why is because everyone is making money and don’t care care about the long term effect.

However during the downfall of the housing market there was a lot of signs and warnings sent to regulators and financial companies that clearly stated that the market was smoking mirrors and it was bound to crash. Because there was so much people making money it caused the

We all are to blame with the epidemic we are having in the music industry. Now for those of you who may not feel it’s epidemic because everyone is making money at an alarming rate than I encourage you to do your research. A lot people made a lot of money during the housing boom.

Being an entrepreneur we don’t live a regular life. Our reward is freedom and balance!!

So let’s add this up!! You made 5 million as a rapper and spent 1.5million on lawyer fees and court cases. 40% of your income went to Uncle Sam!! You spent another mill on cars, Jewerly and bills which equals broke and in debt!! But y’all still screaming gang huh??

Or in jail!! That shit is backwards!! Let that soak in for a minute!!

Y’all rappers still don’t get it huh?? You made it out of the streets and started making millions to put yourself and your loved ones in a better position and y’all still catching charges instead of counting your blessings. This generation of rappers have the most rappers dead

Moral of the story: Artists,spend more time developing your craft and focus on creating an undeniable product that both the label and the artist can make a rate of return on. Labels, focus on truly developing the artist and thoroughly understanding the artist vision.

With 300ENT towards the end of 2018. Because of the proper resources($$) behind her she was able to make a lot of noise in the industry within a year! What most people miss from her story is that she’s been developing her self for over 6 years. That’s not overnight success!!

Around since 2013. Once she signed to the MLB All star Carl Crawford who reportedly invested over a million dollars in his independent label things started to change for her. Keep in mind she’s been around since 2013. She signs with crawford in mid 2018 and than does a joint deal

The problem is that in today’s musical climate their is a fictional culture that makes it seem that you can make it overnight as an artist. It’s simply not true! Meg the stallion is a prime example. While many may think that she came out of nowhere the reality is that she’s been

The artist responsibility is to create a sellable product that the label can make their rate of return on their investment. If both parties come in understanding that than typically the relationship is fruitful between the artist and the label!

Both the label and the artist should come into the partnership with an with a clear understanding that both entities have to invest in each other. Labels invest resources such as marketing, artist development, funding and more.

We have to be real with each other as creatives. Not every label is out to rob the artist!! The relationship between a label and a artist should be a partnership. Both understanding each other’s vision and holding each other accountable.

The reality is that not every artist is willing to fund their vision or have capacity to do so. Not every artist is willing to be in the studio late night creating and getting up in the morning to go get the funds to pay for marketing or videography etc.
