Got beats? Getting a industry placement is such a submissive back seat ride! An astute way to show your worth as a "producer" is to develop artists and produce meaningful music. This route brings freedom and as much work as you can take on! Producers get treated like water fountains in the industry, everyone wants a cold drink but when it's time for service nobody's around or knows who to contact! The natural flow of artistic expression has been restrained, diluted and turned into a soulless spectacle. Music in the past was used for uplifting, celebrating, solidarity, storytelling and most importantly to maintain spiritual balance with our creator. Today we hear death coming from speakers to the front doors of artists AND producers using their gifts to feed the calamitous death cycle. Many say attention spans have changed, yet older music is still around and played. Reality is.. Fad (sex, money, street/gang) music is self extinguishing and can no longer exist against its seeded reality in the world and the conscious mindset of listeners. There are millions of beat makers & artists on earth but how many make tasteful art that resonates beyond expectation? People want real music! Bob Marley isn't here to ask people to play his songs, they just do! When its real it will always be relevant! No theory, software, placement or cosign can get you there, just passion! Without it you will never have the heart to feel or express the full spectrum of music, have beats with little feel or connection & no tenacity or motivation to study and expand your knowledge or "ear" to become great! Ignorance remains choice for many as group voice is more comfortable than a single voice. We're here for single voices!
