Mixx dropped some solid advice as always.
I'm a producer and I agree with everything that he said ( damn mixx didn't know you had crates!). If you really want to do this all I can say is be prepared to be broke for a minute. I've been at this for about 7-8 years already and only now am I just starting to see some paper.
although I'll give you some tips that I wish someone would have told me.
1. Network is everything. This is how you get paid. The most talented cats never get co signed and that's real talk.
2. Always be on your sh*t, you never know when you'll get that call. The artist might want you to make beats on the spot in 5 minutes as a test.
3. Don't let yourself become bitter over certain shortcomings, artists can be flaky like chicks. Nothing is guaranteed.
there are a few other things I'd like to add but I'm in a rush right now. Best of luck though man.
