producers kyd!!...seriously though, producers are msot important cuz you gotta have beats for people to spit or sing on
you need a good little bunch of them 1st and make sure they do different styles, you don't want producers that only sample, it's mundane and will cost you to clear samples and shit anyway...
nah I'm not tryina sign anyone, not tryina start a label, I'm on a start-up label here in Houston and the CEO and I talk a lot and he gave me a list of books he's been reading and red me some parts when we talk on the phone N what-not so I know a little more than most online about the music industry
P.S. no you can't have the list of books and don't ask ThaQ for it cuz he won't give it to you either LOSER!! lol
