The truth must be told, no matter what it is, many may not agree, but its better to say it the way it is, than beat around it and the ones that are willing to listen and learn can gain from others mistakes.
This might help the ones that does not know what to do or not doing the right thing, no one knows it better, we are all leaners.
Many EU based Artists work hard everyday writting and producing music, spending alot of money to make dope video, pay bloggers and deejays to play thier music, in the hope that it will get them the break through they so much needed.but my heart goes out to them, its not easy spending money and not getting anything in return, its very painfull, many of them are stressed out, but they stay on hoping for miracle to happen.
The story you hear from EU based Artists is I spent 10,000, I spent 4,000 euros, I spent 6,000 euros to make my music and video, but how many of them has actually gotten something back from the initial money they spent, before going back to the studio to make another song, do another video, and upload for free, how long are they going to be doing that?, I will tell you all this many EU based Artists will pack up very soon because they have over spent thier budget and they dont have money any more.
They will be known as i used to sing, ( I have video on YouTube), is that how you want to be known??, or you want to make money and feed your family??, How many of them has been booked this year??, how many of them do get shows??, how many of them do actually know what promotion is??.
The question is why do they pay bloggers , Notjustok, Vevo, Naija based deejays and so forth to blog and play thier music??,how is this contributing to thier pocket, how is this improving thier music, how is this helping them to grow?? the thruth must be told weather they like it or not. why send thier music to deejays in Nigeria??, if your music is on mixtape in Nigeria that you also paid for??, how is that contributing to thier pocket??, the person actually making money is the so called deejay, which they also paid, paying to pirate thier music if i have to use the words of TTY some of the so called mixtape they never even listen to them they only see flyers which they in turn will be sharing themselves, common guys, you all should do better than that, focus your attention and energy on where you are here in Europe, focus on Youngblizzy music, focus on Tony Air, focus on JebiTv, focus on Budetee Tv, focus on 9Tv, focus Hulkshare, soundcloud, iTunes, and many more to promote and sell your music. stop wasting money think of a way to make money back.
I think Artists spending money paying this people dont really know what he or she is doing, because i dont know how this is contributing or bringing you money, many of the Artists, pay this people at the end of the day they end up sharing the link themselves, posting it all over the places, thereby raising money for them and not for himself, creating more awareness to the blog, take for instance linda ikeji blog, what contributing factor has that got to do to your music, how is she helping you in selling your music, she post your music to her blog, you go there and share it, who is getting the money with the klicks!!!!, is it you or her, and at the same time you pay her and also help boost the traffic to her blog, please we should grow up now, we might want to make it, but there are other ways to do that, via hulkshare you can sell your music, via iTunes you can sell your music and so are many other outlets.
The coalition meeting is coming up in holland, i will expect that many Artists will show up that day, because this whole thing is really about them, the have more to gain on it, they must remember that promoters promote Artists they want to promote, the deejays get booked, but how many artist do get booked??, how long are they going to keep wasting thier hard earned money??, when this thing is not done right two to three years from now many of this artists are going to pack up, and many will be in debt.
