This is for all of my fellow producers in the Tri State area. Sheek Louch and Styles P will be doing an in store signing of the new D-Block album “No Security”, at a Best Buy in Yonkers, NY. Just go to the in store for the signing and have 2 beat CD’s for both of them. I’ve used this tactic before, this is an absolute layup… Click “Continue reading” for full details…

There has been some talk in the producer circles online about PMPWorldwide.com’s new feature. PMP worldwide has recently implemented a brand new ARS (Ad Revenue Sharing) program for their members. Essentially, in return for driving visitors to your pmp profile page, you get a quarterly paypal “check”. Since there is no real explanation of how the system works on the site, I figured I’d show you all how it looks from the member side of things (Courtesy of PMP’s comprehensive stat tracking)…
The ARS system works in tiers. If you reach a certain tier, you get a specific payment…
My tier 2 ranking was based off of the amount of “Audience Points” I accumulated over the 1st quarter of this year. “Audience points”
I need beats... Pump it up.

Don’t try to be cool with your shades. Be humble!There is a phenomenon in the world of music production that makes no sense and should be completely eradicated. For some reason, producers LOVE talking up their music. They will email an mp3 and say “Guaranteed club SMASH!” or “Hov needs to hear this ASAP!” In my short span as a beat picker, tracks that were introduced as such, have never even been keepers to me. I don’t know if this is because the music really wasn’t up to my standards or if my expectation were just so high, they were doomed to be passed on.
Even if you tell someone “this is the greatest beat you will ever hear in your entire life”, and IT IS… That still doesn’t help you at all. If anything, it is going to set someones expectations high and you are just setting everyone up for disappointment.
On the other hand, you’d be surprised how often industry people will still underestimate you. Even by the way you look. I still can’t believe people are bugging out because they don’t expect the tracks I make, coming from a white guy… but they do. So the lesson of the day is be humble and let the music speak for itself.
