@KingsOfKings and @LevelUp why not make a comprehensive "New UG Tracks" thread and drop all those loosies in vs having 40 threads with 0-2 replies?

i legit thought about this...music industry is fukked because their practice stem from fukking over ex-slaves back in new orleans jazz and even motown where they own your image, rights, etc and you get a 360 deal through the record company to trade your soul for fame where now, those standards are the same for everybody regardless of race or popularity
book publishing is mostly a 'white genre' where the authors get lucrative deals from the publisher where not only do you retain more rights to your work, you also can resell that same script to turn that into a movie and you wont owe the publisher a dime because they don't do 360 deals and the 'established white genre' is protected by lawyers that would fight that unfairness compared to record companies
so in the age of streaming, there is no difference between streaming an album or streaming an audiobook...both audio types get uploaded to youtube/spotify and there is audio recognition software to count the plays in which they have to cash out to the record label or publisher, but in the case of the publisher, you own more of your rights without getting screwed for your art
therefore, if you want to create music, accompany the music by co-writing a book like these rappers already have published: like an autobiography or the narrative and a picture book of what was involved with this album. the book would promote the music and vice versa like a package deal. sure, you can own more by being independent but artists just want to be artists and they benefit from the corporate machine and promotion
in the future, someone is going to get smart when they want to make music and instead sign with book publishers rather than record labels. Every album would have an accompanying book, physical or digital, that comes with the music because publishers already have audiobooks established for you to release an album through them, and this would break the current music industry system like the USFL did with raising NFL wages in the 80s
there's things called "the audiobook experience" where they accompany the reading with sound effects and instrumentation...they are really sophisticated with it now...sooner or later that 'audio experience' of the book reading will turn into an album www.youtube.com/watch?v=wBkVzqs7ucc
There's still a decent amount of grassroots publishers that would allow such a thing to have them gain an upper edge, and some publishers are more willing to take a chance on you compared to stubborn record label executives and A&Rs...audiobooks go for like $17 without audible premium, almost double the price of an album, etc, where amazon would pick up the tab for the free trial as long as you have prime or audible premium
