[@emanualcarr7408]

If you are a good enough artist, you get to make the rules and if they like you and want to get on board and get a percentage, they are welcome to join other wise do it yourself or next... Distribution is needed however, but to a certain extent and percentage. Your the artist with the fan base and in demand, not the other way around. Other wise pull a Solja Boy and the others can kick rocks...

Ah the good ole 360 deal, aka the slave contract. The 1st time I read one I was like "wtf ppl sign these?"

[@2223-p8d]

You never got those papers infront of your face in the first place

[@gmgmuzik2252]

In my opinion the 360 deal isn't as bad as we make it seem. Record Labels are like banks. They loan money which pays for videos, features, studio time, travel expenses, etc...asking for a portion of everything you do is just a way of making sure they recoop their money. It's easy to say do it on your own until you realize that 9 to 5 paycheck money won't get you far in this business. Every aspiring artist doesn't have street money!! I know plenty of artist that should be stars right now but they have no funding to help get them out there. A short term 360 deal would do wonders for these type of artist. You can always negotiate and scratch which parts you don't like and write in your demands and have them retype. Once both sides agree then you sign. JS....

[@rymelo41]

Ricki G Not At All As Long As It Brings Value To Your Music Career. Stay Away From 360 Deals And Negotiate Publishing And Tour Support Strongly In Your Contract. If You Do Land In A 360 Deal Make Sure You Get A Clause In Your Contract Stating You Can Get Your Masters And Publishing Back After A Certain Amount Time

[@ukgoon85]

I don't know the whole scenario you may be referring to but I would personally avoid anything like that. Record labels make money from the products that the artists they sign produce. If they are actually interested in signing you then why would you have to pay? If someone is shopping this idea to you as a way to get your foot in the door then just think like this. We all know about artists that have had a huge buzz that have got signed and then the label doesnt push them. If you aren't even on their radar and had to go to the extreme of paying to even have a meeting, then how can you expect them to be motivated enough to put their money behind you? In summary, in my humble opinion, don't do it! Good luck though, more life👊🏿

Dye Dye being independent is what you want to do If you don’t want to go anywhere in music if you want the a nobody work 5 streams on SoundCloud go ahead and be indie. But if you want to find a label you gotta build your camp and build yourself as an artist et after you can reach out to them. I suggest reaching out to smaller labels and indie labels because major labels don’t care if you ain’t cardi b
