Just talked to 2 Different Major Label A&R's...
- Thread starter SMMWest
- Start date
as AP.9's agent i would love to have sit downs with either of these A&R's. we have had several interested parties in the last few months and we are grateful to anyone who shows interest in AP.9. he is at the top of his game right now and i feel its just a matter of time till a major takes a chance on him. he is the total package, he has hella swag, street cred, record sales and personality for miles. thanks
.
I dont never do this on here but Im gonna predict and this coming from an nigga in a different region(Mid West) on teh outside looking in.
My prediction is that Ya Boy will be the one to blow up and be a superstar(long as he stays out of trouble, stay alive and follow a positive path with life decisions). He has support from here to New York(most the other artists mentioned dont have major support anywhere out of Cali or West region).
The only thing is I dont think Ya Boy can sign to a major right now bc he already signed to Precise Music Group label. But regardless He gonna be the one watch and see I give it two years or less.

I can understand why they'd look at AP.9, because his style is more suited for the east coast setting. Thats more like what they're used to.
Out here our artists are hard to decipher because of all the slang in it. And they get chastised for not using it most of the time also. as a group? I think the Mob could do it because I've seen them fuck with east coast cats before, like Cormega and Kool G. and thats a great look.
I just want Messy to get big. If he does, I think the floodgates could open.. just my opinion.

AP9 is not a lyricist by any means...AP9 is weak IMO i ain't on no hating shit neither, i just don't think dude is a good solo artist. fuck it, none of the mob figgas are lyricist IMO but i still love the shit outta the jacka's, Ridah's and most of hustlah's music...I honestly can't see how an a&r looking for a lyricist from the bay points at AP9. On another note, I ain't sure if Zion I is on a major label but them and San Quinn are a couple of bay areas most complete lyricist.
there is no complicity or standout punchlines that jacka delivers. jacka has a straight thru flow about him that is appealing to the ear but its not a lyrical delivery. thats like messy marv; messy has an apealing flow that captures your ear and for the most part keeps ur attention thru out the whole 16 but he is not a lyricist to me neither but he is one of my favorite bay area artist. not being a lyricist doesn't mean u can't spit, it just means you ain't a lyricist. plan and simple.
Regardless of what anyone thinks. The A&R Reps and Researchers know who they want. I hope that AP.9 and the Group (that willl remain nameless) both land deals, if they feel that the deal would benefit them and their careers. If they sign then it just brings more attention and more reps to the Bay Area scouting talent and whats going on out here.

Well fuck Sony lol. But really though there are hella artists here that offer more than just hyphy. What they think is hyphy is just some goofy ass shit that was taken too far after people saw the success of recent "hyphy" hits. And really they're the ones behind the widespread success of this commercial shit, so really the majors can go fuck themselves.. lol.
