How to spot a SCAM!!!! #Music101

Posted by admin On July - 30 - 2010

Ever since we started the On The Grind Mixtape Program, there have always been artists who were skeptical about getting so much promotion for just $10 or $20. I can’t count how many times I’ve been asked, “How do I know this isn’t a scam”, “Is this CD really going to come out?” or “Are you really pressing up 5,000 CDs?”

Unfortunately this industry is so full of liars, scam artists, and people who are just faking it until they make it that its hard for some people to tell the real from the fake. I’ve seen so many artists pass up good opportunities because they were scared of getting burned and in the end wind up getting fleeced by someone that sold them a beautiful dream.

So I decided to shoot this little video to address this issue. Enjoy!

July 8th Andre Harrell (@IAmAndreHarrell) hosted a Tweet & Greet at the offices of Atlantic Records in Downtown Atlanta.  An excellent networking event that brought out some of the city’s top movers and shakers. Big shout-out to Yancey (@Mryancey) and Moses (@MosesDavis) !

Sunday July 4, 2010 Club Throbacks (@ClubThrobacks) was packed to capacity as the whole hood came out to celebrate with Lil Hot (@TheRealLilHot) for the release of his new mixtape, Back to the Streets, hosted by DJ Scream (@DjScream) of Hood Rich Entertainment. Check out the new release online at www.MySpace.com/LilHotDaMoneyMan
