This is who I am prepared to sign with

Red Line Music Distribution, Inc. — Home

(grand daddy i,u, ed og, cormega, large professor etc)

This deal would officially give street champion official distrobution on all major stores, ALONG WITH, all my previous releases (bbw, saigon, eternal punishment, the price of glory)

After everything thats happened to me. I cant believe in the span of a year and a half i have started my own label (Elite Squad Recordings) and got official distribution for it.

I am gonna sit on it for the weekend and go ahead and sign likely monday.


Congrats brother.:blessed:
I had turned down LaFace (Usher, TLC) cause they tried to screw me with thier deal something tough. :scust:

I eventually signed to Project Blowed/Decon Records and had the time of my life. :banderas:
But I later signed to Mush Records and hated every second.:sadbron:
So it really does depends on the label.
Trust your instincts.

Industry drugs and hoes are NOT regular drugs and hoes. They are professional, and both can fukk you up. My advice is avoid them.

Take inventory of who is around you before you sign that thing, because at some point months or years from now you will be in a room full of people all pulling you in different directions and giving you advice and you gotta be able to see who in that room was with you at this point in time and add extra weight to what they think amidst all the new faces.

Break a leg, breh.
:salute:

Thing is even with all the names on the album nobody wanted to offer me anything good. I wanted to go to Decon but I honestly didn't know anyone there. A few places were on some "you sign with us and pay x dollars for promo" fukk that I can sign with these people make my own label and pay for the promo myself and owe nobody. If the promo is your "plug" why am I paying for it unless you are caking yourself. Also nobody wanted to take a risk on me in terms of vinyl and CDs so I'm just gonna go all digital and just invest in the promo. Also my team is very very tight knit and small. Only those who were with me when I was down and out in that halfway house going to rehab everyday are with me now and that's literally about 3 people. That's it. Thank you for your advice homie.

I used to use Vinyl mostly as promo. If you get 50 vinyls for example, you are actually better off setting 25 of them asside to give to local DJs on tour.
The DJs take care of their records and are the only people with record players nowadays anyway. And they love spinning shyt they think nobody else has, so if they spin regularly and you have a banger on there... they will help to keep you buzzing.

But now alot of them use seratto (digital playlists). So you might want to have your album on a usb stick as well if you go on the road. That way if you think track 3 is your best song for example, they can download it to their serrato in just 5 seconds.

I'm excited for you breh, you got the whole coli behind you.
:pachaha:Go make us proud.
