Keeping It Independent


I know just about everyone that is rapping, is looking for a deal. The thing is most people don’t know is that a major record label is nothing but a bank loaning you money. They advance you a certain amount of money for your project and take back pennies to repay your loan while keeping the majority for their selves. Now why would you do that when the big labels keep complaining about losing money?

With the Internet now you can reach a many people as the label but also keep total control. Not only can you sell your music but you can also sell your merchandise and keep all of the money.

The key to being independent and selling your own product is promotions. Promotions is what the major labels have that us independent artist don’t. They have the outlets to get their artist on TV and on radio to get much more exposure. If you are patience and keep gaining one fan at a time you could be a successful artist too.

Never let someone control what you create.
