Talk to that guy snoop Dogg talked to on murder was the case.

He made snoop a star and got him a deal

I DJ, so I'm not new to this. I tried to start a record label but my main artist got arrested.

Do that and use the money to fund your music career. If you can clear out $24k-120k a month (which is a wild range. you have to scope better imo) then you shouldn't be in any rush to sign.

Spend that money on marketing. Get a site, pay influencers to listen/review your music on YouTube, pay nikkas on tiktok to make a dance for it. If you can't do either of those with your music then your likelihood of getting sign is already low considering those are key engagement points

Earn $120,000 a month?

I've never seen anyone do that.

If I did that for a year, I would invest the year's funds, work a regular job after that. Two years after that, I know investments where I could live comfortably off that for life.

I think about releasing albums on Bandcamp and promoting them on YouTube. I don't know how well people do on there though.

He admitted to selling his soul on that track

I’m suprised nobody questioned it back then

He was was talking to a demon

I agree completely.

I have been doing it off and on since 2017ish, and made like a few dollars. Since you got a big following, Bandcamp is essential to get heads to recognize your work, while labels may knock on the door. Some of my favorite beat makers and artists thrive off of the platform alone.

Hit up @Francis Manancis

$7000 and some Tommy to get fresh!

I like your Rocket Launcher joint. It's original, empowering and dope!

Stay making music.

Try to complete an album, with completed art for CD and vinyl.

That way you have a physical product.

When you hold that product, I'm telling you - it's a great feeling and can't be compared to anything else!

And I say this because I've experienced it over ten times like here

Stay on your hip hop. It's your contribution to this world.

 

[Crumple]

I have ten thousand views on YouTube, just music.

And I was thinking of a few more points.

Brother,

1. By all means stay creating your hip hop for life because you will see you will have a passion while many are dead inside past 30.

2. Go hard! But look at all facts including the cash profit you make.

3. If you see it not popping by 23.

Build a strong well paid career you'll be interested in past 30.

I always worked. I have over 15 albums to CD, 500,000+ views.

The job I have now is good and I save every month.

I am currently looking to upgrade with new opportunities.

I've missed work opportunities but learned.

Sometimes I regret not building a specialized career in construction, or electrical work.

If you get paid $70, 000 year AND rap the whole time - you will be a sharper, healthier and wealthier artist than 90% of ALL rappers major or independent by 40 and onwards.

Good luck again and make great things happen!
