I got a question, what mic can i get for $20 to make poffesional vocals? Naw just messin round. Foreal, i'm curious of how to really shop your beats to the right people that know the right people. I hear some of these beats on the radio and i'm like, how they get on with that crap but i'm still unheard of? I know it's advertising/marketing. I have no clue how to get my stuff to the big guys. Like, on the black album dvd Jay and them was goin thru beat cd's. I'm trying to figure out how you send them to Jay. I got shady records address but i think 50 and them a little shady and might "remake" my beats if they don't use em. Yall got addresses?

I dont have any address..buy go to the bookstore and pick up the Songwriter's Market 2006 http://www.amazon.com/Songwriters-Market-2006/dp/1582973989 it will have address in there..

any most beats..get shopped around by a manager or entertainment lawyer who have contact in the industry..so I have heard..

There is alot of money in that. Specially if u got a friend in advertising or marketing. You can get hired as an in house musician or as the first guy that they go to. been thinkin about doin that myself.
