    If you are a good enough artist, you get to make the rules and if they like you
    and want to get on board and get a percentage, they are welcome to join
    other wise do it yourself or next... Distribution is needed however,
    but to a certain extent and percentage. Your the artist with the fan base
    and in demand, not the other way around. Other wise pull a Solja Boy
    and the others can kick rocks...

      @gmgmuzik2252 Před 4 lety +17

      In my opinion the 360 deal isn't as bad as we make it seem. Record Labels are like banks. They loan money which pays for videos, features, studio time, travel expenses, etc...asking for a portion of everything you do is just a way of making sure they recoop their money. It's easy to say do it on your own until you realize that 9 to 5 paycheck money won't get you far in this business. Every aspiring artist doesn't have street money!! I know plenty of artist that should be stars right now but they have no funding to help get them out there. A short term 360 deal would do wonders for these type of artist. You can always negotiate and scratch which parts you don't like and write in your demands and have them retype. Once both sides agree then you sign. JS....

      I don't know the whole scenario you may be referring to but I would personally avoid anything like that.
      Record labels make money from the products that the artists they sign produce.
      If they are actually interested in signing you then why would you have to pay?
      If someone is shopping this idea to you as a way to get your foot in the door then just think like this. We all know about artists that have had a huge buzz that have got signed and then the label doesnt push them. If you aren't even on their radar and had to go to the extreme of paying to even have a meeting, then how can you expect them to be motivated enough to put their money behind you?
      In summary, in my humble opinion, don't do it!
      Good luck though, more life👊🏿

    If you’re a unsigned independent artist who isn’t “Russ” or chance” find a record label and talk and discuss the deal.
    Being “independent” isn’t easy like the comments are making it seem.
    CHANCE AND RUSS ARE NOT INDEPENDENT

      Dye Dye being independent is what you want to do
      If you don’t want to go anywhere in music if you want the a nobody work 5 streams on SoundCloud go ahead and be indie.
      But if you want to find a label you gotta build your camp and build yourself as an artist et after you can reach out to them.
      I suggest reaching out to smaller labels and indie labels because major labels don’t care if you ain’t cardi b
