Really Fuckin hard.
1. competition is fierce (there are thousands of producer fighting to get on the same cd you trying to get on.
2. A&Rs Filtering beats for their artist that might have got on the track if they heard it.
3. People abusing our trust and stealing our tracks that we gave to them and use them of mixtapes. Now you cant sell the track because everybody heard it before and dont want because of that, so you worked on that track for nothing. a waste of time and money.
4. record execs dont call us back when they say they will and get pissed off if we do a follow up call 3 months after they got the cd from us.
5. Maintain creativity musically
6. keep cookin them hot tracks (cause if you dont you will be replaced and out the job)
Its a hard, but at this point (for me) its all about avoiding not being heard from ever again.
