I would recommend this to anyone wishing to start their own label , it is a great beginners guide.

This book was written in a different era of hip-hop. Some advice still hold true, but tons of information is left out. The best way to use this book is to pair it up with other books written about the music business that focus on internet and social media strategies.

The author wrote an excellent book on how to start and run a record label. This book is a very informative book for a beginner and for those that have been working in the music industry for years. I was interested in consulting this due to various reasons. The book is very informative,with step by step and insightful information. I highlighted many of the promotional strategies and will keep this book with me through it all. Anyone thinking about starting their own label should read this!

First let me say that I love Love & Hiphop, they’re so entertaining and make bank. Im not into rap, but I love R&B, you can relate this book to any music genre. It helps you with the business aspects of running your own record label, which to me is inspiring since I want to own my own business one day. I recommend this book

This is a book that has practical information. It teaches you how to get started with a rap record label. It walks you through all that is involved in the rapping business, and it also points out how to legally get started. Not a fan of rap music but for those who are interested in getting into that area then this is a great start for you.

Really learnt a lot from this book, would defiantly recommend anyone considering the label to have a read.

I have downloaded a ton of eBooks over the years and I have to say this is one of the best, most comprehensive and well-researched guide books I have ever downloaded. It’s not going to take you all the way to starting a successful record label, but it does cover in brief everything that you need to think about and plan for. The first part of the book is a narrative on the different elements of a rap record level, explaining what you need to think about and do, why to do it, and how to do it. Then, in the second part the author combs through everything touched on in the first part and reduces it to a series of lists and questions (I found this particularly useful as a basis for a business plan / strategic plan), finally the third section contains several appendices of useful information and contacts.All in all I think that if you get this book you will be a head and shoulders above the competition as long as you implement all the suggested actions.
