Hey if he sold his life away then lettum

I made sure all i'm signed too is a single album

^ man you shouldnt be so critical...

but, its basically more like a team than a label... there are only like 4 (5 now) active artists signed to Phokis Records, and they got their own recording studio, but the thing is because its all artists (the leading artist owns the label/studio) they arent trying to make profit for the label at this point... artists keep 100% of the sales they make off of albums, and we get free time in the studio of course to put those albums out...

Have they got good distro deals?

Are their artists actually raking in much?

How many albums do they want you to make?

Obviously if their not taking any percentage of the profits, what they do for you is going to be extremily limited and any promo will obviously come out of your budget..

So as it would turn out, you may actually never make a cent from these guys... Let alone actually get anywhere...

Like I said, I'm happy for you.. But I'm concearned you might get caught out on a bit of a dodgy scam that wont do you any good....

congrats my nigga

i hope they aint dickin u

i understand...

and i said its a local label, its not like Jay just put an R around my neck... BUT, basically now i have a team behind me... and i dont think a scam is quite in the picture considering they take 0% profit...

Blay man, you say dont be critical.. Believe me, it pays to be critical...

Have they ever even seen you perform? Or have they met you in real life?

You said they found you on myspace...

I'm only being critical because this thing kind of seems a bit fishy.....

Taking 0% doesent mean their not gonna charge pretty much anything they do to their artist's cd sales account...

yes, they know me in real life... Raleigh, NC (where i said they were based out of) is 10 minutes away from where i live...

"Signed"?

sounds like "yo you wanna roll with us? we don't got no contracts, no advance, no budget, no distro and no publishing...but...you can like...record with us or something and put on myspace concerts."

like a net crew with a place to record.

real talk

congrats and good luck but be careful I was signed to poiltician records and signed a bullshit contract becuase I was thirsty as hell

Free studio time...meh.

I can promote myself, I just need a place to record. If they willin to give me the time, I'll promote them.

word. to nos's comment. but blah im not hater. Congrats foo

lol, i knew there'd be haters, but im really not worried about RV's opinion at this point, which is why i kinda felt dumb after i made this thread, but word to TG and Kon, and word up to Rev's comment, exactly how i feel too...

hey Blayboy you said Raliegh, NC right?

well my cousin is signed to a record label in Greensboro, NC and their group is called Premium.

I was just wondering have you heard of them because they're supposed to be pretty big in that area.

Greensboro? holy shit, lol... that's where im from, like 30 miles North of Greensboro, lived there for 13 years... u see that 336 under "From" under my name, thats Greensboro's area code... but now i'm in school at UNC which is right near Raleigh...

but nah, i been away from G-boro for a minute so just b/c i havent heard of em doesnt mean they arent big, link?
