CHANGE. INSPIRED BY, MOTIVATED BY, POSITIVE FORCES.

A WORD TO THE WISE TO THE ASPIRING AND PROFESSIONAL MUSICIAN

I may not have a clue or know a lot but I try to keep myself informed about the music business.

This is why the better option would be to be your own BOSS and work as team and enjoy the rewards of hard work equally, Shared fairly among-st the team of independent musicians, Singers, Writers, Composers, Producers, Rappers and whatever you do make on your own, you keep.

Why get a Record label loan which you might have to pay back. A lot of self ways to fund music now a days.

EXAMPLE-ADVANCES OF A MILLION DOLLARS

Record companies commonly pay advances to enable artists to concentrate on writing, rehearsing, recording and performing music. Advances are recoup-able against future royalties from sales and streaming, but are not recouped if revenues fail to reach a certain level.

The record label is therefore bearing the risk of the investment in a highly competitive marketplace and the record labels will get there monies one way or another than leaving the musician with, like Tupac Shakur once said trying to make a dollar out of fifteen cents.

Why not keep the whole dollar.

Than there is the recording contract will usually require the artist to sign to the label exclusively. This means that they can't record for another label without permission, nor can they leave the contract if they're unhappy.

HELLO It’s 2018

The label, however, remains free to sign and promote as many artists as it wishes.

If an artist wants to make a guest appearance on another artist's record, they'll need a 'sideman' provision to cover this. Is that fair game ?

Under most exclusive recording contracts, the artist will assign copyright in the sound recordings to the record company. An assignment is a transfer of ownership for the full life of copyright. In the case of sound recordings this will be 50 years from release. Meaning your out $$$

Before Artists are paid royalties based on record sales and music artist see any money, the artist will have to recoup the recording costs, advances, and usually 50 percent of all video costs. The label will make additional deductions, reducing the real royalty rate still further.

As Aspiring and Professional musicians do you need that Shit ?

Own what’s yours, U DA Boss not the Record labels.

It's 2018 and the Music Business will NEVER be the same. Now the record labels sit in the back seat while the Singers, Rappers, Producers, Writers, Composers and musicians drive the future and the Music FANS got your back.

SPACING, LAYOUT & SIZES

IT'S ABOUT SPACING-LAYOUT AND SIZES THAT MAKES THESE SELECTED ARM TATTOO PICS APPEALING, SEXXY AND MAKE THEM FLOW, KINDA LIKE MY TATTS. 

LOVEM.
CREATE YOUR OWN.

GUESS ??

IF I were to produce for Wiz Khalifa or Cardi B it would be this

Wiz Khalifa    POSTED:

If we made a song, what would it be about???

MY REPLY:

When it comes to music, I’m creative like that with music and although I’d prefer original music, if I were to brainstorm music with Wiz Khalifa or Cardi B. a music sample to RAP to it would be this one, James Brown - Get Up Offa That Thing

I would adjust the tempo, mix it up and create some magic, no dought a Hit song, but my ideas remain in my brains till further notice. ....... .

Happy Friday

Having a good ear for music helps.

Having a good ear for music helps.

In composing Music, being a leader is like being the conductor of a symphony. You don’t have to know how to play all the instruments but you have to know how to get all of them to work together.”

That's how I roll having a good ear for music sounds, Improvising and putting it together. Always continue to work on new beats and sounds and staking my arsenal of music beats . And the Dream goes on.

No nickel and diming the Independent musician

Every Cents counts, no nickel and diming the Independent musician

To the Independent musician of Today and beyond. What your waiting for?

I see a lot of "Buy my music" at iTunes and Amazon at $1.29 or 99 cents, which is fine but I suggest you include or better yet change and take advantage of other opportunities as well in which you get paid more than that.

Whether you chose Turn core or CD BABY or whoever you want to chose for your music distributor just get paid for your hard work, because your worth it, you work hard for it as a musician, Writer, Composer, Producer, Singer, Rapper and it ain't that hard to set up the accounts.

Hey if an unknown like me could do it, which I chose CD BABY as my music distributor, other starting and professional musicians can.

Check it out I'm at $2.99, try it, it won't hurt to do so. Take advantage of every opportunity you can it's the internet world of music now, Owned by all musicians, Composers, Writers, Producers, Rappers, Singers and controlled by the music FANS and many musicians got more clout and fame than me to make it work. Go for it.


(Remember to work as a team, Own what's yours and remain Independent from record labels but if you decide to align yourself with a record label for whatever reason, it is your right to own the majority)

THE $ 80 BILLION DOLLAR BOARDER WALL:

THE $ 80 BILLION DOLLAR BOARDER WALL:

After the $80 billion dollar boarder wall is built crimes and other criminal activities will NEVER occur again according to President Trump.

Look forward to keeping track of how many crimes and other criminal activities do occur and will continue to occur once the $80 billion dollar boarder wall is built but we should see zero crimes according to pres Trump.

We will see if the $80 billion dollar boarder wall is indeed 100% criminal prof and if it works we should use the $80 billion dollar boarder wall for some of our neighborhoods after all if we all have to pay for it why not have one in the neighborhood to prevent crimes from EVER happening again because according to Pres Trump the $80 billion dollar boarder wall is the money answer.

One thing is for sure if the economy is in need of funds, money for education, money for schools, money for business,money for road improvements or money for social security look no further than to the $80 billion dollar boarder wall that is where we will all have to go to get money or a loan from, getting a piece of the $80 billion dollar boarder wall to pay for our actual needs, can't wait to stand in line to get money out of the $80 billion dollar boarder wall ATM.

Torn jeans, is what's happening now, what's new, what's in.

Religion and God

Let's talk about RELIGION

When addressing this subject matter it is important to respect everyone's religious believes after all there are many Gods to many different type of cultures around the world not just one God which brings me to my subject matter that;

I think that when God existed at some point in time back in the days, just like Gandhi existed and many other good people's who existed and wanted to promote the Good in all , God also wanted to promote and instill peace and all good things and create a positive force in all that heard his word to be set as a foundation for good things which he accomplished.

While I believe in God and that God one day existed back in the ion days before technology and any type of advancements that exist now I think that our God's word was addressed in such a manner back in the days in which nothing could really interfere with the thought process of addressing the Why, the Who, which is why such positive has lasted and will continue to transcend itself forever because it is a good thing unlike now a days, the world we live in, in which we live in a busy minded, technology world in which the word of God is addressed differently and with much interruption but with the same intention for all, peace and all things good.

I don't believe in the so called "After life" and I don't think that God is the reason why we have hurricanes, earthquakes and unexplained things happening caused by nature and that God actually cures the sick, which many seem to believe that these are caused by God.

It's a matter of life in itself and really knowing, which we will never know how it all, life, really began, the root cause, be we do know how all life eventually ends in one way or another.

Many will have their opinions whether expert or based on facts but, really life was not meant to figure it out, but when given the opportunity to be alive and live, just live the best that we can everyday, help one another, create the positive, the good and continue to pass such from one generation to another.

While I am not expert in the word of God or know religion 100% I do believe in what God's message was which was, in my opinion, to create good for all, promote and instill peace and all good things and create a positive force in all, to live with respect and goodness in your heart and treat everyone with dignity and respect.

At the end of the day, a message that is all for peace on earth, about loving one another, about positive things, about respect and the list goes on about good things, is hard to ignore from generation to generation and will always, forever be around because of the positive and good content that still to date holds true from the past and that many of us continue to seek which is all good things.

Wether this is shared in Church, at home or in any other type of settings, I am all for always the positive and all good things related to religious beliefs.

I never understood people, friends who go out, drinking, partying, doing things they shouldn't be doing, cussing, flipping people off and even the professionals doing bad things and than going to church on Sunday, go figure.

On the other hand, why would God want so many bad things happening in his world?

I am sure many have an answer to that just like many have an answer to everything. But think about this since there is good just like there is bad, now you got good preachers, who are rich, like David Oyedepo and Joel Osteen, to name a few.

I didn't know that the word of God was so expensive. AMEN to that.

They, these rich preachers, sure ain't rich in God but in wealth because of God. And they want to make you think that this is not the case, well the bank accounts speak for themselves.

Then you got " Hells Kitchen" that opened in Las Vegas, now what kind of christian would eat in Hells Kitchen ?

This Saturday night episode with Will Ferrell got my attention to say something and this is something I have always thought about for a long time and finally speaking my mind a little on, check it out if you haven't seen it.

Believe in what and who you want to believe in but believe in the Positive and the Good, May everyone have a blessed day, Amen.

Seattle Seahawks Richard Sherman and The Independent Movement

Per Article SEATTLE SEA-HAWKS-Richard Sherman

" Agent? Seattle Sea-hawks corner-back Richard Sherman doesn't need no sticking agent. Yes, I hate myself for that cliche opening line but it is the truth of the matter, as Sherman heads into the final year of his contract in 2018.

  As the veteran defensive back enters the sweet spot to re-negotiate his deal and find himself a contract extension this off season, he'll do so without the help of an agent.

  The All-Pro corner-back follows in the footsteps of former teammate Russell Okung who also opted to negotiate his deals himself in 2016, when he became an unrestricted free agent with the Sea-hawks."

MY RESPONSE:

  Congrats Richard Sherman for following in the foot steps of Russell Okung and taking control by being INDEPENDENT and owning what's yours.

  Much success to you and way to set the example of how things should be nowadays considering this is 2018.

   It ain't no different than the Internet which is the Music Business owned by all Rappers, Singers, Producers, Writers, Composers, Musicians and controlled by the Music FANS.
