Artists you don’t own a producer beat until you pay for it. So don’t worry about who else got the beat if you ain’t paying for it.

CHEAT CODE: artists having ONE good engineer is priceless. Pay them well as you can. They record you, safeguard your files, and the REALLY good ones know your catalog well enough to help your A&R find stuff.

MFs don’t believe in shit until it happen. So, just make it happen 🤷🏽♂️. That’s all the motivation you need.

While your building a thing nobody’s checking for you. When that thing is built the admirers come. Keep building regardless.

One thing I’m seeing a lot of mostly is lack of writing whether the vocals there or not. Y’all need to be obsess over that pen. Them songs y’all grew up living were well written

CHEAT CODE: New producers don’t solely focus on getting placements with signed artists. Work with up and coming artists you think are dope. They have hit potential too.

I ain’t fkn with NO artist that I outwork. How hard is it to post on socials bare minimum?

As an A&R it feels GOOD to develop an act and have other A&Rs reach out to the artist.

Stop seeking advice to avoid everything, there’s a lesson learned in getting punched in the face otherwise you’ll never learn to duck and counter. Experience really is the best teacher…go get some. 🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁

Best advice I have 4 y’all artists is “JUST PUT THAT SHIT OUT” who are you hoarding music from? What moment are you waiting for?
If the song/video is good it’ll find its way I promise.
This is in response to FAQ about what to do. The most asked question.

My rules to demos to get me to reach out to you. Save that numbers shit, I’ve signed a dope artist with NOTHING. I ain’t one of them.
1. I like it
2. I want to hear again and again
3. I want to share it.
4. If I don’t like it, I can see why others would.

I’m listening to y’all links. DISCLAIMER: if is say your music ain’t for me, simply means I don’t align with your music or don’t have anything to add to it. Y’all not about to get hella analysis out of me. If I like what I hear obviously we’ll talk.

When listening to y’all music...if one of the 4 things apply below I’m reaching out.
1. I like what I hear
2. I replay it again
3. I feel like I need to share it with ppl
4. If I don’t like it, but respect why another crowd would.
Stay out ya feelings. 🤷🏽♂️

CHEAT CODE: recording engineers. You’re worth more when you’re organized. Just Pressing record aint it. Not sending sessions/bounces or having them when asked is the best way to NOT get called for future work.

Cheat Code: artists if you’re chasing an A&R you’re hustling backwards. If your music is as GOOD as you think it is. An A&R/manager etc will chase you. Keep working til you figure it out.

Beat Makers = made a fire beat gave NO input, the artists finished the song.
Producers = made the beat, actually has a vision for the song and GIVES to complete the song.

Steps to get beats placed
1. Has to get heard and LIKED
2. Artist then has to cut on it
3. After song is done, it has to make sense on a track list.
4. CHILL TF OUT, if something needs to be done, I’LL REACH OUT, TRUST.
