Today, hip hop industry is still hot and not just in the US, but throughout the world. If hip hop music is your passion, wouldn't it be great to make some serious money from it? Starting you own record label is a dream of many. In this article we will show that this dream is not as impossible as you might think.
Before you start it's important to get a general overview of how things work in this business. Firstly, you need information and you need to get acquainted with the business side of music.
There are many questions that must be answered. Let me give you a few examples: how to find a distributor, how to copyright and protect your music, how to find new talents, how to promote, how to own your own masters, how to get radio play, and many more.
There are many hugely successful artists that created their own record labels to put out their own music. There are many benefits to doing this. You certainly have more freedom and control than if you were signed directly to the big label.
Need examples? Here there are: Bad Boy Records was founded P Diddy, Aftermath Records was founded by Dr. Dre., Rocafella Records was founded by Jay-z & Dame Dash, Shady Records was founded by Eminem, No Limit Records was founded by Master P, and the list goes on.
If you decide to build your own hip hop record label, do your homework and be prepared. Always remember, success comes to those who dare and act.
