Its like this, this isn't even a post that needs to have a discussion on or about. If the right person sees this and sees it as a benefit for their company that is fine and that is what it about.
If a person sees this post and "KNOWS" that they can't benefit from it and only sees the cons within it and no pros in it for themself or their company then they just need to glance over and walk away.
I will use this as an example (only an example). Check Mate Muzik has the Slo-O project. They are looking for a deal. They don't have a Pipeline of releases nor a Major artist signed to the label. From a Distribution Companies A&R's position they can't take on the risk of the label. Now lets say Check Mate Muzik has the Slo-O project (which is good music), this Bizzy Bone project and finish lets say a Legit Mixtape (all original beats) to showcase Slo-O's talent along other Major Artists or Artists affiliated with the company. Now the risk is gone for the Distributions A&R Department. They have a Pipeline for the Year. If they don't make their money back from the first project they can come back with another project that frees up some money.
That is an example of where this can pay off "HUGE" for the right company. It just has to be the right company with this being the album that gives them their right fit where they are trying to plug in.
