thats my message to artist, STACK UP! save up so when your ready to make an album your already have your money in order to pay everyone involved in the project accordingly, when i work with indie artist (because i try to be a nice guy) i will keep the beat on hold until they can get the money for it (usually up to about a month or two) but all of that can be avoided by just stackin up on your bread before you start your project......

What up everybody! I have been meaning to write this blog for sometime now but, haven't had the time to do it. As the year closes out, I feel the need to address this so we can start the new year off right. For the better of CHH. I talk to producers all the time and the same conversation keeps coming up. This is not a problem with all artists but, some and it is getting out of hand. When it comes to the artist paying for production, artists are trying to get over in a sense. Looking for free traks, giving excuses like "I'm indie" or " I don't have a budget" or not wanting to pay at all. Now as producers we know you are indie and don't have budget but let that be the producers decision if he or she wants to work a deal or not. Everybody can agree with this that we buy what we want to no matter how much it cost us. When it comes to your album you got to pay to get it mastered, if not then you have to get it cds replicated. If you want the best product have to PAY for it. And Discmakers want there money. Some producers including myself do this to provide for our families. When you finish your album, you plan on selling your cds hoping to make what you put into it back to continue to keep doing ministry and to put some food on the table. Real talk! Now its not all about the money but we have expenses too. And we put in work for yall to have bangin beats. And artist that have relationships with a producer. In time he or she will bend from time to time but you shouldn't be expecting that all of the time. I have good relationship with cats working and personal. And I'm bless to say I don't have a problem with artists paying my prices because,they know I do this as my fulltime job. And that is how it is suppose to be. Scripture clearly says you don't mussled the ox that treaded the corn. Pay a man what he is worth. (His price). We have to get out of that poorman mentality, I can afford it, yes you can! And we gon have to change how we are when it comes to takin care of business. God wants us to work and deal with another in excellency not always trying to get over or get by. So next time you trying to cop a trak, take this in consideration. I'm speaking for me and the LEASE of the producer's. Grace and Peace. |
