What benefit do producers get from signing to a label?

[Colin X]

Like I understand rappers/singers get album budgets, their releases get push, label pays for radio play, award pushes all that etc.


But, how do producers benefit?

I'd assume the labels act like agents connecting them with artists but ion know

Placements. You can have A1 production but that’s not gonna get your beats on Rihanna’s or Beyoncé’s lap.

Right that's payment for a service. Not getting finessed.

Garunteed placements.

When you freelance, you gotta always find the next placement.

When you under a label you just gotta worry about satisfying the artists that are going to keep coming back to you.

why is this considered a finesse tho?

its business. The same thing happens in real estate but no one calls it a finesse.

nikkas gotta stop with this no label shyt. The music game was started by criminals, you think they gone let an independent nikka in their play without them getting a cut. Don’t sign that deal and see how your career goes. It’s deeper than some tunes nikka.
