Hey guys, here's a new project I'm producing.  Dude's name is Namebrand.  Check it out and hope you enjoy! http://soundcloud.com/namebrandrapper/where-she-go-ft-kiri

yup still has two years left on his deal...amazing.

We can't forget the great Devean George too...I remember he had a pretty good deal from the Lakers too.

Just came across this hilarious website... http://www.whyislukewaltonstillinthenba.com But seriously, how has this guy managed to stay in the league this long???

Bringing back this buried topic, been a while NT.

Well Robby, as far as internships go...I don't think you can miss the "internship of a lifetime."   Internships are set up so companies can get people to do their repetitive grunt work for cheap/free.  I know plenty of people who have interned for labels and are mad that nothing happened for...

Yeah man, Fauntleroy has been dope right from the get, definitely one of my favorite people to work with. And I was strictly a Hip-Hop producer when I started, it just turned into this over time!

Just to add on what DATH said...there is no traditional rate. Get what you need and don't be greedy!  And keep that mentality, here's a few points I'd like to share on this matter: 1.  Beats are an unlimited resource 2.  They don't take that long to make 3.  Your client has a million...

BGETSBUSY, you're doing everything you need to do right now.  What's equally important is making sure your artist is putting in the same effort as you are?  Because at the end of the day, the project will only go as far as he allows it to go. Continue what you're doing, and make sure your artist...

For beats to get in the right hands, there's a possibility they're going to pass through a lot of wrong hands first.  It is trial and error, and just be prepared to get bent over.  ALOT. There's a couple of options in getting your tracks heard.  Songwriters, A&R's and managers. Songwriters...

From a traditionalist standpoint, Drake did everything he was supposed to do.  Build up your initial buzz and fanbase, and let the big label come in and takeover your small business, then even bigger success ensues. It's been the longstanding approach of Urban artists, the basic idea that if...

I'm definitely here to give you guys more specific incite on questions you might have on handling split sheets, dealing with A&R's and their crazy requests, things that deal with the day to days etc...rather than just the broad "get you motivated" cliches.

Guys a lot of people ask me how they can get started in this business. Simply put, you just DO IT. You have to take the initiative yourself, learn as much as you can on your own, before you can make the decision if this is something you want to be serious about. Get the programs, make beats...

Go to school, get your chops up!  After it's all said and done, build a portfolio with actual material pertaining to music videos.  This could mean a lot of pro-bono work, long hours etc. After you have all your material, you will have to begin the arduous task of networking.  Schools generally...

The best way to obtain exposure is attaching yourself to a "vehicle."  Obviously, networking is one of the key tenants to being successful in any industry, and music is no exception.   A vehicle could be someone like a songwriter or an artist. Just think, any person you collaborate with that...

One of the most common things I think that hinders a lot of people starting out, is spending time being worried about getting their beats jacked and not getting a fair shake.  Let me reiterate this key point, DO NOT waste your time/energy worrying about that! One of the keys to becoming good...

What's up NT? Been a long time NT'r, kind of stepped away from following shoes fiendishly to pursue a career in music a couple years ago.  NT has always been a great resource for me when it came to stepping up my kick game, and I thought it'd only be appropriate to give back to the board. I'm a...

thanks guys, appreciate the feedback. yeah, this is the reason i actually disappeared from NT and shoes...got broke and needed to figure out how to make money. i'm still broke though lol.

What's up guys, I haven't been on NT in years, great hearing everyone's music. Check out my music, if anyone's interested in some production,feel free to PM me! http://www.myspace.com/johnthexvi By the way, if you absolutely can't listen to Pop/R&B, then click on "The People REMIX." Thanks
