Warning Make sure your music is dope before you do anything

“While the dominant Hip-Hop media plays into the hands of major label executives who hope to keep the fan-base everlastingly fixated on the most supercilious of spats, rappers are still being swindled, left and right, for all their worth.” Tolu Olorunda

I was talking to a friend he dropped some knowledge to me regarding HipHop Artist he said that 1 percent or less of HipHop artist are really up on their business.  That is really deep when you think about it.  That is like saying when you hang out in the club everybody acts rich but everybody is broke up in club.  Or the old saying goes 1% of the population is rich and controls the planet.

In saying all of that here is 4 team members you need for your team:

Strategic Business Manager: He or she is the quarterback of your team not only do they make sure you get paid,  but they help Map out/come up with creative ways to spread your music and brand’s vision

Social Marketing Manger: Yo if you are dealing with the net and digital music and don’t have one or many of these you are simply playing checkers while everybody else is playing chess. They are a great help with your Twitter,Myspace,Face book plus telling you new tools of social media. But the best ones show you how to communicate with your supporters,  and turn that communication into dollas.

Technologist: They keep you abreast of new tech to leverage your brand.  But also solve problems,analyze, and troubleshoot to name a few of there duties.

Music Lawyer that specializes in Digital Music: More than just look at contracts.  They can be very helpful in structuring deals and helping your overall business.  Make sure you check their references,  if they have expertise in the music biz especially digital music, and of course how much they charge.
