You know how Im always getting on you guys [unsigned artists] about not having the paperwork for your songs in order? No copyrights, no publishing, no clean edits, poor production....etc. Well, it is for opportunities such as this one I have in my hand right now, that pop up out of the blue and end up catching most of you unprepared....and then you wonder why you never get your big break! And really it's nobody's fault but your own, mainly because you haven't done the things YOU were supposed to do. Im doing my part in providing you with the information of opportunities, but you have to do your part by taking the information and actually doing something with it.
N-T-Way....This entry is not to brow beat you in any way...and Im not going to go into another one of my tangents. But for the record, I only go there because I love people who are blessed with God given talents and I don't believe they should be wasted due to lack of knowledge. So if I seem hard on Artists sometimes it's only because I want them to do better. Tough love may be hard to take sometimes but it is INTENDED to make a person do better.
So here's what I got!

In it they find a cast of characters, all who could benefit from the murders. At the center of the investigation is Manchild, a rap star who is enjoying a meteoric rise to fame but beginning to question the madness in the industry and the shallowness of those around him.
