If they only knew how hard it is with or without the internet. Today like you mentioned young kids without skills make a beat and think they can get signed. Main stream artists don't like beats all mashed together without a sequential sound. Meaning an artists voice can be recorded over the beats. Back then when we produced tracks they were of song quality. But I had to spend hundreds to hire the sound engineer to sound better than other producers. Main reason they chose my beat was because I made all my tracks sound like its radio and club speaker quality. Back then I mailed my beats to come majors. Full tracks with a good sound engineer to mixdown the tracks. With that said, the opportunities are definitely there, you just need to stay busy and persist through the negativity that surrounds your passion/goals. I wont say any names but they are really big rappers who I can say without a doubt that you've listened to their music. One works for Atlantic Records with an upcoming artist who's been on BET award shows, the other works for Warner Bros and has been booked for sessions with major artists. I do however know of a couple producers in my area who have gone to live in Los Angeles.

When someone doesn't reply or takes too long to work on a simple task/project, I don't shut the door on them, I simply reschedule my plans with their slower paced workflow.īTW I live in a somewhat cold/dead network, It's tough enough to get a good following let alone get noticed by a major artist. Just hang in there, make tons of beats and bug people to help you out with features, It's what I'm currently doing myself. It seems like we have no other choice at the moment but to deal with this local 'musical chairs' of a network. Finding serious artists is tiresome, so much to manage.
