BUDGET SPEECH FREESTYLE

BUDGET SPEECH FREESTYLE OUT 1 OCTOBER 2014

The year is coming to an end and what better way to end it with a "Budget Speech". Literally refering to other accomplishments besides music this is a track that will help you to understand why the brand JayMaggs is a little silent.

Also addressing haters on the fore-front and settling the score with social commentators (well-self proclaimed) that had a lot to say about music when JayMaggs featured on ShizzNizz Mixtape King competition and did'nt go through.

The mixtape "Born for fame"  did not drop because JayMaggs had other commitments to look into of which many were left wondering why nothing dropped.

So this is a freestyle that will address the instigators of smack talk. Basically the track is based on Lil'waynes "Money on My Mind". Displaying some flamboyant punchlines and smooth delivery this track will probably settle the score on everything.

As a commercial rapper, one has to handle his own and what better response than a record! This track is due for release on the 1st of October 2014.

Managers & Upcoming Artists | Who to trust!

Looking for a manager for your music? Lets talk Hip hop

When you meet up with artists usually from the underground scene, you would hear the terms "Im a manager" and "I need a manager" quite often.

So thing is do you really need a manager to be successful? Do  you need them to get you gigs? Sponsorship? My answer? BULLSHIT!

Personally from experience being in the mainstream had its weight on me, especially when radio stations and television stations ask you whether you have a managerial rep.

Regardless a manager is a mediator and for the most bit they will have a fair share of your slice and con you off your earnings. They might have connections but the talent is yours and half the time they will ask for a bribe and only to find out that the gig was free.

How to break the cycle.

Really consider drawing up a contract and agreement between you and your manager, control all your paperwork and register your music at SAMRO by yourself.

When you do gigs sit in the meetings, do not lay back because you will perform for R2000 and yet yo slice was R10000.

When getting endorsements read contracts and profit sharing properly, dont just trust and agree where you have doubts.

Do's and Donts

Don't  enter a verbal contract write down an agreement
Don't let a manager do your royalty check with SAMRO
Don't bribe a manager to get you gigs he works for you not the other way around.
Don't allow to open for an act when  you have not been paid, money first basis works well.

Do research
Do register your own music
Do ask as many questions as you can
Do enquire about your prospective manager with regards to past work he has done.

Basically what im saying is there are many ways to put yourself out there, social media works wonders do not be fooled into being told you will not make it alone. It will take time but you will get there.

If you do consider a manager get a reputable one with a track record. A good one! Golden rule: Do not trust a manager who walks and blurbs about everything he dont have.

Decided to put this out there as I was once a victim and as an artist educate your self and avoid being ripped off, by the way this also applies to major record labels.

Thank you for reading my article and please do catch me on my social media platforms. - Jay
