Was asked to make this thread so here it is. Basically we had the idea to work with some established artists and collectively put in the funds to make this happen. Spoke to Cole Cash and he was down to do the beat, other producers are welcome to submit their ish too. As will hopefully do a few things like this, plus could remix it too. Since we would all collectively own the work/acapellas we could do what we wanted with it, that goes for MC's here too. So I think people wanted to make this thread so could have a clear discussion about who to pick to work with. So who do you think?
There's numerous options, we have to think what are objectives are.. to get some more exposure, to get good value for money, has to be realistic, and if at all possible somebody we could build with rather than just the collab and that's it (that's not always possible but is in some cases so have to bare that in mind).
K-Rino would be a very good option, I could probably get a good deal with him. He is reasonable, an exceptional artist, is very well respected and connected, being peers with Scarface, Z-Ro, Gangsta N.I.P, Bun B etc. He has songs with over 1.6 million views on youtube. Is a legend in Houston. Have done business with him before and he has a high level of integrity and is trustworthy.
But there's numerous people, Canibus, might be a bit more expensive but obviously is very well known. Has a history of doing quite a lot of features and again has been very cool in my personal dealings with him.
As has Brother Ali, however I'm not sure what the cost would be so would have to ask.
Raekwon, Inspectah Deck... again not sure of the costs, but know people who have worked with them, Wu hav a cult following so it could be good in that sense. But it could potentially price us out unless we're rasing A LOT of cash. And I'm not exactly sure how much will be raised as haven't gauged that from people yet.
I'm willing to put in anywhere between $50 - $200 at least depending on the artist.
KRS-One would be exceptional and get that Hip Hop stamp, but not sure how much the cost would be, but know people who know him so could at least enquire. Infact... actually I better not say that publically lol, but yeah there are some advantages to getting KRS.
Chino XL, quality wise he is a beast and would wreck it. G Rap is dope and the shyt, might cost around 3 g's though, maybe 1.5 possibly if could get a good deal.
What other names? Cormega, AZ, Grandmaster Caz, Tragedy Khadafi, Crooked I, Ras Kass, Papoose, R.A The Rugged Man, Rakim, Chuck D, Percee P, Last Emperor, Saigon.
How about Chris Rivers? He is young and up and coming, which means we could possibly get it now for a decent price but it might DRASTICALLY raise in the future. Plus he is ill as fukk.
Cuban Link, The Outlawz, Mopreme.
Ok that's enough from me lol. Just throwing names out. Who do YOU think?
