Drake Talks About The Evolution Of Mixtapes

MTV Shows

A mixtape is definitely a good tool to help create a fanbase, and with the right exposure and support, it could be instrumental in taking your career to the next level. However, I believe that as far as the music industry goes, we are once again back in the 60's music era of selling singles. It's all about singles, singles are all that's selling, and really if you have a hot single, you'll get major label attention quicker than if you had a hot mixtape. Just look at the ATL rap group Travis Porter. These dudes are touring of 1 single they are in the middle of major label bidding wars concerning their future, their video is on MTV and their fanbase is growing by the minute. Now I might not like their music, but their format is impressive. Put out hot singles, let them chart, get a demand for shows, get the labels fighting over you sell some millions in singles via itunes and maybe sign a 1 or 2 album deal that will allow you to keep your masters, and leave the situation if at anytime the label seems to not meeting their half of the deal.

Breaking News: D'banj to sign multi million dollar deal

According to Jaguda.com Nigerian superstar entertainer D'Banj of Mo-Hits record just signed an exclusive international record deal with a very prominent International record Label which will soon be announced. This is great news to me as I've been predicting that Nigerian music is about to take the world by storm. However I didn't think D'banj would be the artist to break through though. I felt M.I would be the artist that would actually open the door seeing as his style of music is similar to that of American mainstream hip-hop. Below is an excerpt taken from Jaguda.com.

''Naija Superstar D’Banj is in the process of finalizing a major international record contract. The source is a staff of one of the major international labels, here is his/her account of events:

It was during a meeting at the record label that I work with (One of the largest international record labels), this particular meeting is a weekly meeting to review new and potential signings. I reviewed the items on the agenda and suddenly I saw the name D’Banj. I was like ah na our boy?! (Didn’t say that out loud though…hehe). The VP leading the meeting led us through how he “discovered” D’Banj at a recent event in LA. From the figures they mentioned, our boy is getting major $$$ for him and million dollar budget for promotion and artist development - the plan is to give him a major international push. Even compared to what they offer ‘urban’ stars, the contract is way above that. Very major! I was proud o''.

The first shoe isblack all over, with patent appearing on the midfoot, toe and toe box. The heel panel is suede and matches the grey outsole perfectly. The second shoe is white mostly, with hits of red and black on the ankle and heel, respectively. Both feature the aforementioned laser designs in their quarter panels and also make use of a similar print on their liners.
