Take notes
They're not gonna care about the artist unless that artist is already bringing in revenue that can be tracked and in the upper $50k+ because artists are brands and instead of signing an artist with no prior success they'd rather buy your song and put it on an established artist or signed artist with momentum because its less work...
Your artist could have a song that is a smash but they're not gonna spend time, money & resources for the next 6 to 9 months trying to blow the song up when they can just place it on an artist that's already established "visibility" because the name alone will draw people to the song...
You do have your occasional artist that blows but they all had teams and REAL MONEY behind them. It's *IMPOSSIBLE* to successfully work a record without upwards of $50,000+ because you're competing with much longer money. The only time this doesn't work is with freak of nature novelty YouTube songs like "Friday" by Rebecca Black or "Harlem Shake"...
So unless you're trying to make a novelty record it's next to impossible for a song to blow up without a strong relationship with someone who either has powerful resources or long money...

truality cat is right somewhat. but lets not take away the fact that software based producers are changing the game. thats why hardware companies are scrambling trying to find a way to bridge the gap and even going as far as to release vsts of their past synths, korg for example...

yea i guess i got kinda confused
I was thinkin that "if i get my own artist what would stop the label from just kiccin me out and gettin they own superstar producers to help them instead"
Cuz you're gonna be a lot cheaper. Plus if they believe you have real talent & it's more then just one song they like from you they'll put u in the studio with someone who will "polish" you. Look at Alex Da Kid... had great melodies but once he started working with Mike Caren he was molded into a great producer... same thing with Benny Blanco/Dr Luke or Timbaland/Danja... you'll see every dope producer was molded under someone else...

Them beets are horrible
Ur sound selection is even worse
lol
and yes I dont have your versatility cuz u make soundalike beats
im not a copycat beatmaker
im a real producer
I have my own sound
also yes software is in demand becuz electronic musicians have become lazy and sacrifuce sound quality over faster workflow
the truth is in the music
go listen

So sign a slave deal to a major?fukk tha middle man
I know personally 10-15 producers most people have never even heard of that are ***PAID*** all from Major Deals putting in less work with 10x the money most indie people make. People scream indie indie indie fukk the majors all the time but outside of like 5 rappers with ZERO major ties the rest of them nikkas struggling whether they'll ever admit it or not. A Major Deal is what you make it... u put in the work, you'll reap the rewards... I know too many cats that were anti-major & made some money indie for a while but still struggled & all of them regret not partnering up with a major at some because underground fans are just as fickle as mainstream fans with less money... Techn9ne is a freak of nature story... there's hardly anyone replicating that kind of success without a drug dealer behind them...and trust me breh, that life ain't what you want...
