Now to all of my family, friends, supporters, and haters... THIS IS THE SH*T I DON'T LIKE!!! 1st of all... ARTISTS ARE ENTERTAINMENT NOT PROMOTERS! ARTISTS ARE ENTERTAINMENT NOT PROMOTERS! ARTISTS ARE ENTERTAINMENT NOT PROMOTERS! 2nd of all... A PROMOTER AIN'T GOT TO PAY AN ARTIST TO LET THEM PERFORM AND POSSIBLY BUILD UP THEIR REPUTATION, ESPECIALLY IF THEY ALSO BELIEVE IN THE ARTISTS BRAND AND KNOWS THEY CAN PERFORM BECAUSE THEY'VE AT THE BARE MINIMUM HAVE SEEN AND ACCEPTED AUDITION TAPES! BUT A SMALL FEE ((LIKE 1/2 WHAT THE DJ MAKES)) SHOULD BE AT THE VERY LEAST OPEN FOR CONVERSATION! 3rd... Family, friends, supporters, and haters! Y'ALL ARE THE REASONS THESE PROMOTERS TREAT ARTISTS THE WAY THEY DO! GO TO YOUR LOCAL ARTISTS EVENTS, SHARE THEIR POST, HIT "LIKE", LEAVE A COMMENT, DONATE A BOX OF FLYERS OR POSTERS OR STUDIO TIME FOR THE FOLKS THAT YOU KNOW ARE DOPE! SAYING YOU ROCK WITH AN ARTIST THESE DAYS IS JUST AS GOOD AS NOT A DAMN THANG IF YOU DONT PHYSICALLY BE AT THE CONCERT OR CALL IN INTERVIEWS OR FB LIVES ETC... AND HATERS, THROW SOME DIRT ON THEY MF NAME SO TO KEEP THEY SHIT POPPING! ERBODY NEED TO PLAY THEIR PART TO CHANGE THESE LOCAL HIPHOP SCENES BC OTHER GENRES OF MUSIC ARE LITERALLY JUST COMING OUT AND KILLING US SLOWLY BY TAKING OUR FANS BC EVERYONE IGNORES OUR TALENTED MCs Last but not least... I MAKE LEGIT MONEY STRAIGHT OFF OF THE INTERNET! MY SONGS ARE $0.99 ON iTunes, Tidal, Amazon, Google Play etc... You name it and Google @cakalakgeorge its there! I sell merchandize from my online web store, I charge for blog placements, song features, and the business directory I call #TheEBEList My songs are played from the UK, to South Africa, Mexico, Canada, US etc... My music is on many radio platforms and not all are BDS monitored but the ones that are I do good... Royalty checks are at an every 3mo span and I GET A NOTIFICATION EVERYTIME THAT MONEY DROP! Yet, in my local area no one knows me so the club promoters won't pay me to do a performance BC I'm not gonna bring an audience to a party their asses are already supposed to have packed out although.... I'M JUST AN ENTERTAINER PROVIDING ENTERTAINMENT!!! #MilliUp (at Charlotte, North Carolina)
