KEEP IT COMING. JUST SO YALL KNOW IM INTERESTED IN HEARING WHAT YALL DOIN TO ESTABLISH YOUR ALBUM,LABEL ETC. KOS I CHECKED OUT THE WEBSITE. LOOKS GOOD. TO EVERYONE: AS AN ARTIST OR CEO OF A LABEL WHAT THINGS ARE U DOIN TO TRY AND ACHIEVE YOUR GOAL. WHETHER YOUR AN ARTIST TRYIN TO GET SIGNED OR TRYIN TO ESTABLISH YOUR LABEL. AS AN ARTIST, I TRY AND FEATURE ON WHAT I CAN. I CAN HONESTLY SAY I MADE SOME BIG MISTAKES RELEASING 2 SOLO ALBUMS WITHOUT FEATURIN ON ANYTHING. LIVE AND LEARN. IT DOESNT DISCOURAGE ME THAT I DONT RECIEVE THE SALES THAT I FEEL I SHOULD GET BUT THATS MY BAD. U GET WHAT U PUT INTO IT AND I WAS PART TIMEIN IT PLAIN AND SIMPLE. BUT I KNOW IVE CAME ALONG WAY AND HAVE ALONG WAY TO GO TO GET TO WHERE I WANT. NOT AS AN ARTIST BUT AS AN INDEPENDENT BUSINESS MAN. YOU DONT HAVE TO BE AN ARTIST TO MAKE MONEY IN THIS BUSINESS THATS ANOTHER THING I LEARNED.ACCUMILATING STORE LISTS AND HAVING RELATIONSHIPS WITH THE BUYERS AT THE STORES IS WHAT ALL U GUYS SHOULD BE PUTTIN TOGETHER. WE HUSTLED 4,000 CDS IN THE STREETS WITHOUT ANY STORE BUT RASPUTINS. NO SATISFACTION OUT OF THAT FOR MYSELF. SO I HAD TO ASK MYSELF WHAT I CAN DO TO UP MY GAME. MY LIST RIGHT NOW IS AT ABOUT 200 STORES ACROSS THE COUNTRY.50 IN NORTHERN CALI ALONE. ALL BUYER CONTACTS,FAX NUMBERS ETC. UNFORTUNATELY THIS IS ALOT OF TIME AND HARD WORK THAT IM NOT GOIN TO GIVE AWAY BECAUSE U CAN DO IT FOR YOUR SELF. BUT IT IS FOR SALE. WHAT ISNT? ALL MY FOLKS AND MY 9029 STUDIO COMRADES KNOW HOW I DO IT. RELENTLESS NOWADAYZ. EVEN STOPPED SMOKIN WEED TO KEEP FOCUSED.. BUT YOU HAVE TO STAY COMMITTED. AND THATS WHAT I AM. IVE LEARNED TO SUCCEED IN THIS BUSINESS U NEED A TEAM PERIOD. INDIVIDUALS DONT MAKE IT. AS ARTISTS, YES. BUT NOT LABELS. STRAIGHT BUSINESS IS ANOTHER KEY. HUSTLAZ IN THIS GAME MAKE IT. HUSTLAZ THAT TRY AND HUSTLE OTHER HUSTLAZ DONT. THERES PLENTY OF LIVIN PROOF OF THAT IN THE BAY.

ay folkz i prolly have seen u atr 9029 studios, i be there all the time.
but basically to try and achieve my goal, i'm just trynna network wit alotta cats from the streetz 2 internet. jump on whoevers projects. and overall just finish projects, stay in the studio as frequent as possible, and right as much as possible so i can perfect my craft. and i'm still young in this game so i'm basically like a sponge, just soakin up game from my peers who've been thru this shit. and stayin foused as well.

ouch, yeah....i soaked up this game for many years before entering it....i've been working on getting a name for myself, getting my name out there, features, networking, hitting functions, just being seen.....i mean, the music speaks for itself, but it's funny how people think they can make an album, keep it on the downlow....release it, and expect to make millions.....
Me myself, I'm doin all little of this and little of that trying to prepare my 1 and only solo project called "The 1st and Last time".I know folks might say that's not a smart move only doin 1 solo album but I been threw alot trying to enter this rap game and Ima see how my album does and make my final decision after that...I'm an Artist/CEO trying to get my business off the ground and just keep makin as many tracks and moves as I can make but I'm short on resources right about now and that's fuckin up my process but slowly I'll make a name for myself.As far as networking goes I've been open to fucking wit whoever putting out good music but I seem to always get overlooked and that's made just say fuck it and do shit myself.....I'm still down to network wit cats so if somebody wanna network holla at me and we can make that shit happen!!! Good luck and much success to everybody making quality music and handlin they business!!!!! 1.
I'm Out of Tacoma Wa. But i do come to the Bay area once in awhile to visit my Cuzzin in Sac. and i'm looking to hook up with my fellow Bay area money Makers.

You moved 17,000 trackable units in the Fresno area??? How long did it take??? That's (in a large metropolitian like the Bay Area) good #'s...shit that's more then cats with big names in the Bay move (cheak the sound scan #'s don't lie...people do) If you are doing that well congrats is in order and let us know your formula. What stores is it in.
