I'm not sure where to begin so I'm just going to skip over everything and get to now. lol
TV
I'm preparing to shoot pilot for my own TV show on a new online network. We have a few reality shows and other music programs but I'm really excited to be hosting this show...and I call it....(drum roll por favor).....
"The Essince of Hip-Hop".
Sweet right? yeah, it is. lol
We picked up a few new clients and expanded our radio network to be able to offer this. I'm pretty excited about it.
LABEL
Things with the label are going slowly but that's to be expected. There's a lot of work to be done still. I wasn't going to share this but then thought, who cares? I can't only share the good/positive news because that wouldn't be the whole truth.
I got a call out of the blue maybe...2-3 months ago from someone I respected who had a pretty dope career back in the day (80s-90s) who heard through the grapevine I was planning to start a label. He wanted us to put out his album (with an advance of course). Sent me some new music. I've always had respect for the guy as a person and artist. His new stuff was dope. But I didn't see much for him in years as far as sales goes or even a consistent/demanding fan base aka 'no $ to be made'.
I told him we were going to pass but if he wanted distribution I could take care of it if he delivered the finished project. He basically told me off then unfriended me on facebook. lol
I don't know if it's possible for a simple deal (sign this, no complications, put it out, every ones gets paid) but it has to be easier than that. I don't want our first release to lose money especially since a lot of my $ already invested in other things/projects. I want things to come out RIGHT.
SHOWS
I'm also doing a few events soon. One in Cleveland at Anatomy with Frenchie from the Brick Squad (Waka Flocka). It's been about 1/2 a year since we did an event but I'm looking forward to it.
I contacted the Southern Entertainment Awards in Nashville about speaking at their conference in April so I'm looking forward to their response soon. So many places to go, so much to do, so much needs to be done to finish MY CD and videos...but this is the life I chose and I love it.
Til next time...
