New Article & Studio Picture…

Friday, January 25th, 2008

What up everybody.

I wrote an article that I would like you to check out. It also contains a pic of me in the studio workin’ on beats for the artists who come to my website regularly.

Workin’ on Beats

Check it out at Hub Pages.

In this article, I talk about the importance of using the right hip hop beats and rap beats for your songs. If you are serious about your career as an artist, then you are required to do the things that most other artists are sleepin’ on. Most independent artists are not willing to take the time necessary to pick the right beats for them. They sometimes just pick anything not understanding that the beat should be compatible with their style.

A lot of independent artists are also not willing to invest in themselves by purchasing quality beats, whether hip hop beats, rap beats, or r&b beats.

I will expand upon it, but feel free to provide feedback.

Why Beats Can Make or Break Your Song…

Tuesday, January 8th, 2008

If you listen to today’s music on the radio, you will hear a wide variety of songs and beats. You even nowadays hear people singing over hip hop beats, and people rapping over r&b beats! The two genres are blending a lot in today’s music.

One of the mistakes that many underground rap artists make is, they are so concerned about being what they call “real” as in being gangsta or hard.

It seems like they are more concerned about being “real” then they are about selling records and making money. So they use only beats that are hard and “gangsta” sounding. They talk about shooting and killing over these hard rap beats. It’s ok for them to do this if this is what they want, but every song on the album can’t be that way if they want to be a successful multi-platinum selling artist.

If you want to get your music on the radio, and on BET or MTV, you have to have at least a few singles, that are more commercial.

A lot of artists don’t do this, and they miss out on a whole entire market of possible customers! The goal is to capture the attention of these people through mass media such as the radio and tv, so that they will purchase the album. Once they buy the album, they will then have access to the rest of your different styles.

Keep This in Mind:
People in the streets will burn your CD! Listeners from the Radio and T.V. will buy your CD!
Which one do you think will get you to Platinum Status Faster?

So the point is, if your goal is to capture as many sells as you can, then you have to make music that everybody can listen to. You can’t make music only for the streets. You have to make it for the streets, the club, the radio/tv, and for the car. That way, you can receive sells and money from all of those different markets, instead of just from the streets.

Today’s hit music has one thing in common: No matter how stupid it may sound, it is catchy. Don’t believe me? Think about some of the stupidest songs that have been released that have blown up big over the past few years…They still managed to sell records and sell out shows…
