The Gray Area
As i read the post of D Woods on Global Grind, I couldn't help but to think "sad". Of the many artist that have sailed through Bad Boy and the like of many other labels how many really have had and still has a substantial career. Never mind the fact that you are attempting to fulfill a dream. When fulfilling a dream remember that the dream is yours and not the label that you are signed to.
With that being said, as an individual that has been in the background of the music business for many years, I encourage all artists to take their careers into their own hands. Do your homework, look beyond the change that the labels will post to your account quarterly (shorts). You are probably worth more to yourself and your career than you are to the label. Do the math and realize the profits are yours if you follow the mindset of a hustler. Remember - "Life is a hustle", and unless you are willing to hustle for it, you may be standing alone short of the finish line.
While I have friends and associates that have had lucrative careers in the music business, this is far and few in between. For every one friend that I have that has made it, I have three that are struggling to reach that level. Even today....
Do your homework and due diligence and seek the rewards that are truly yours.
