Best thing to do man, keep it simple, make a demo, press a few hundred copies which you need to hand out free, constantly promote the shit out of yourself and your music untill people start really noticing you.. Find some small time club gigs for experience and a bit of pocket money..

And work work work your fucking ass off to make sure people know your really going places and actually worth a damn in this industry. And while doing this, get yourself on a 1 or 2 album contract with a semi decent company provided you got the skill and just start working your way up from there.

But promo work IS the key.......Rapping is a 24/7 job man.. You cant slip or slow down if you want to get anywhere in this industry.

My advice to you is, dont spend mega bucks right now.. Save all the fancy shit untill your well known around your own town.. But NEVER get stuck in a small time mind frame.. Always make sure your advancing with every move.

And my other advice to you... Is work on your skills and rid yourself of that hick vocal style I've heard you use. Heh......
