So You’re A Rapper Out To Get A Record Deal Huh?
Pembroke Pines, FL -- February 4, 2005 -- Let me guess, you’ve made a hot rap CD but for some reason you still don’t have a record deal huh? You probably go to your local music store and can’t help but wonder how some of these whack rappers got a deal. You most lightly have two burning questions: how do you get world wide distribution? And what can you do to make sure the world hears your version of real hip hop?
There’s no doubt that a major deal can be very beneficial for an independent artist. If you market your CD successfully you can sell a lot of records all over the world. But how realistic of a goal is this to accomplish?
Just to give you a little more insight, decision makers at major labels have cut back on artist development. The days of recording demos and sending them out to record labels with hopes of getting a record deal are gone. Major labels are now interested in acquiring established artists with proven track records. Rappers like Jay Z, Lil Flip, Master P, Nelly, and the owners of Cash Money records are perfect examples of independent artists that couldn’t be ignored by the majors.
Quite simply, it means that recording a hot demo to send out to record companies is not going to be enough. Even if you send your demo to every record company, you’re not lightly going to get signed that way. Think about it. If a record company had to decide who to add to their roster between a fairly unknown rapper who is selling a lot of records on his own and a fairly unknown rapper with a good demo. Who do you think would stand a better chance of getting the deal?
Here is the slap in your face reality: In our experience, the typical rappers who are always sending out demos will be extremely lucky to even get one response from any of the labels they submit their material to. It must be very frustrating for them to make a good demo, only to get no one talking about their music. Can you do better? Yes you can do much, much better if you have good music that you can market properly and a way to distribute your music around the world.
