Rap/Hip Hop: Do you think that this idea is better than actually sending a record label my music?
March 72010
Ok, my friends have a rock band. They just got signed by Warner 4 days ago, and know they are in the process of making arrangements for promoting, and stuff. They are getting all this free stuff too lol…
Here’s the thing: they are a rock band, and I am a rapper. So my question is this:
Does them getting signed, in any way, help me with MY quest to become a rapper? Like, I went up to them and congratulated them, and one of my friends said "I promise man, once we get big, I’m going to make you famous too." So my question is:
If I make a demo, will he be able to give it to his record label (warner signs rappers as well) and say "check this rapper out", or will I have to follow the steps like everyone else and send a press kit, wait,etc.? (Or will my friend who got signed be allow to just give it to Warner with his own hands?)
Please help, and God bless you all!
If your lucky it will all be easy for you just work hard and try your best in everything and when it comes to your demo make sure it sounds good but you can’t rely on your friends to get you big. Try giving the demo and also talk to your friends about if they were actually serious and if that doesn’t work out have a backup plan ready.

lol i would expect your friends to give them your demo, but its no guarantee warner will even look at it b/c they get probably hundreds to thousands of demos.
