That's nowhere near enough in the age of labels avoiding artist development unless you land a viral song or get some placements/reviews on sites

Fair enough, that's what I needed to know.

I do alright as an independent, but not from music. Rapping helps me focus at work.

Start your own label. Create an LLC and a DBA and copyright and trademark as much as you can. Make good music.

You don't have to whore yourself out to the industry.

Get involved with the live scene if there is one in your community.

Do open mics, concerts, work on your ability to move a crowd and work with other people.

You have to decide if you want to get into business. If you don't want to deal with the ins and outs and ups and downs...just keep music as a hobby.

There is always competition and people that steal your shyt. There are also much more talented people than you that haven't figured out how to get noticed.

If you want to be an artist. You have to treat yourself like a product...to be marketed and consumed. Know how much money you want to make, and know when you have enough of it to buy all of the equipment that you need.

Once you've reached a level of success where don't care about what people think about your music...it's time to stop.

tbh.
You need to start making moves and reaching out to managers & A&Rs.

Is taking a lot of indie talent.

You also should definitely make it out here to LA.
I can't hook it up for you but there's definitely a few shows and showcases you can hit.

Don't hit the indie circuit if your goal is to get signed tho.
I highly suggest you immediately focus on and continue to make moves towards
getting your music in front of the right eyes.


Also be prepared for the fukkery and the self absorbed.
Wishing you well on your journey, if we run across each other offline, I'll say what's up.
