You still working in the music industry ? You seem to have a lot of knowledge breh
you care how I sent this post
Not from a Media standpoint anymore....
as far as the Street Indy scene .....it's getting like the housing market here in the south....it's just saturated and the economy is saturated...
i just got "stopped" at the gas station a few miles from crib by some cat trying to proposition me to invest in his "dream"....
we did work together when i use to get his music pressed and promoted with flyers etc.
i told him i can't do it anymore
....... EVERYBODY IS THIRSTY..
even the SCRIP CLUB DEEJAYS are acting like Funkmaster Flex .....(extortion like prices) ..it's been like that...but it's worst now
everybody wants to be a BOSS
the "boom" is still centered around ATL, but their is not alot of outlets to promote music in the surrounding areas
i.e (southeast georgia, north florida, tennesee, alabama, south carolina) other than the internet
....and with the mixtape spots and flea markets getting raided every other day...
they (RIAA, County Police) hit my brother's spot just 2 years ago...
shyt has been rough
the money is still in booking shows.......that's if you got a loyal following based on recent hits...
everybody holding thier breath for a MAJOR to come thru...need to keep it moving and keep thier day job
and stay off them fukking streets
they robbing and kicking in doors of everybody
during this "drought"
