GET SIGNED

YOU ALL WANTED THE LATEST INFO ON GETTING 
SIGNED TO A RECORD DEAL. SO ON THIS BOARD
WILL BE ALL THE LATEST NEWS ON CONTEST YOU
COULD WIN, LABELS LOOKING FOR PEOPLE, AND
INFO ABOUT STARTING YOU OWN LABEL. 
Just so you know Hiphop World is the only 
site with this info. SO if you see another
site with it email Rassfan graytide's first affiliate and he will add 
that site to his biters list


 Fundemental Knowledge
 
Here's the deal, before you start looking for
a record deal you need know a little about the
Industry. We all can name rappers & R&B singers
that sold millions of records just to later file
for bancrucy because they lost it all. To help
prevent that from happening to YOU. I've gotten
articles by Twista's manager Wendy Day in T.A.I as well aswriting a little about my experince with 
being signed in various parts of the site. Now 
with all that info YOU STILL need to read up 
on it. There are urban artist out there that 
sell 500,000 records and see less than 60,000 
dollars, Don't be one of them. Yo, even if
being signed is years away for you. When your
able to look at a contract and tell someone
is tring to cheat you, you'll be glad you 
read about it now. Now with that said here 
are some suggested reading material as well 
as links where you can buy it. I do not make 
a dime (even though I could) from the selling 
of these books, I just want to see people that
took the time to check out this my prosper
in tha long run(But a shout out on your album
wouldn't be bad). Remember to consider the date
it was written

 New Label looking for RAPPERS & producers!!! 

-The first new label I want to tell you 
about is NYourFaceRecords. They are
based in Maryland but do have artist as far
as LA (not the city the state). I have
personally talked to the CEO over the phone
(Who says I don't put in work) and he is
desperate for good beat makers and Unique
rapper. I know for a fact that he has put 
in thousands of dollars in studio time 
just to see if unsigned artist are as good as
say they are. If you have talent hit him up.
ALSO If you sing you still might want to 
call, they said they will be getting into 
R&B later, but I'm sure they can use you 
for chorus's now

-So you want to be apart of a label
that innovates not immitates? Alright
I found a new label set to do big things.
It called Headknock Records and they
have a few things that make me think
somebody with talent can blow up on
this label. 1st they don't limit 
themselves to people that live in thier
area. They are looking for Artist or
Producers from anywhere in the world
to join their label. That gives you
a better liklyhood they've got tight 
beats and others artist that don't 
sound too New York, Southern or West 
Coast. Since 1 or 2 will be featured on
your album. Secoundly they have parnered
with another up and coming record label
to share costs, artist and resources. 
That means they won't be as straped for
$ as other new labels and you can colabo
with the other labels artist if you want
to. For more info Check below


Send demos/beats, or questions to:
Headknock Records
attn: A&R Dept.

 Websites
 
Here is a list of all the label websites 
I know of? You can check out their sites 
and see if they give you info on where to
send your demo. Or you can email the web-
masters at the sites and ask them specfically
