10 Things Artists Need To Stop Doing in 2013

Artists got away with too much fuckery in 2012. Ya'll do all of this complaining, and don't even realize that 80% of the time, you're holding yourselves back with your actions, or lack there of. Lemme give ya'll some help going into the 1-3.

Artists Know Your Worth: When to Start Charging for Shows/Features

When you’re still classified as an indie artist, it seems to be hard to know when you’re eligible to get paid for features and shows. Some feel that because they’re still indie that they should do everything for free in order to work their way to the top. On the flip side, there are some indie artists that request payment, but are nowhere near worthy. As an artist, you should know when it’s time to start getting paid for your services. You should also be aware of your status. Just because you rap doesn’t automatically deem you worthy of payment.

How to Register Your Music with BDS

First, let's be clear on the importance of BDS. In order for your radio spins to count, they need to be BDS registered.

That's the only way they have proof that the people are really hearing you, other than internet presence. OK, moving on...Many artists ask me to register their songs for them with BDS. It's quite simple and can easily be done yourselves.

Let’s face it; we get so many emails on a daily basis and that shits just annoying. If it’s not from a direct FAMILIAR or reputable industry contact, it’s probably gonna get deleted or marked as spam.

5 Reasons I Didn't Listen To Your Music

Several artists like to make smart ass comments about bloggers ignoring their music submissions. Then, there are those few coons that like to sneak diss on Twitter because we're not showing love.

Why Every Artist Needs a Website
