Who are these testicle tamers

>How does the music industry work?
By selling off the idea that musicians you see on TV are better than you in every way possible while they live of actually very little.

>How does one become a famous rapper / producer?
By having friends that have friends and everyone is willing to shill your shit. Alternatively, knowing someone with a big blog willing to pretend you're the next big thing.

Also, how do you contact a record label? What the fuck do you say?

Just e-mail their A&R department and express an interest with releasing your work through them with samples of your work. How you word it would depend on the label but there's nothing shameless in self-promotion. Everyone has to do it to have a chance in the business.

Also, what are their names? You can't just post something like that without a source

Isn't everyone doing that? Do they even read each email? Also, no source because photo is from a random thread from Cred Forums. sorry lads.

be talented and practice non stop


send demos and ask them what genres/vibes they are interested

Fun story!

I've been actively touring in the US, Canada and UK for a while in a niche small band. We get by. A smaller band with a less experimental version of what we do came out ten years later, refined the image and massively took off.

What worked for them?

Being from LA, skilled graphic artists, connections to the correct people in media. You do those things and you will be sponsored left and right after arena tours.

Everyone's doing it, but realistically there's no other way. Just be really, really good and really persistent with multiple labels. To be honest, most modern A&R work isn't like it used to be. Most A&R men now go on Youtube or Facebook or wherever to see what's getting steam rather than relying on artists sending stuff in.

You have to think of yourself as a businessman and you need to market yourself and approach people in the business directly to get anywhere. You also shouldn't close your mind to doing other things in the industry that could work as a platform into other areas, such as working at studios or in label offices doing menial work.
