Yes folks,
Is yuh boy Da Face again.
Right about now I'm coming wit a serious head about a scene that any underground artiste needs to handle if they want to be successful (doh play like you doh wah be successful). Yuh know how things does go sometimes...yuh write your own stuff, load up de fruity loops...blaze out a world class beat in ah hour or two and then yuh looking for a studio to beg a demo from. One thing dat most upcoming artistes don't consider is the importance of their work and how important it is to protect you intellectual properties (yeah daz what it is). In a nutshell, yuh need to get yuh tail down by COTT and sign up hoss.
Speaking ah dat, Wednesday I was in a COTT seminar and a lot of sense starting passing in that room. Did you know that COTT is an international organization that can collect revenue for your shit all over the world? If a babes in Honolulu is wining low to your music in a public event on de beach yuh could eat ah food (well not Honolulu but yuh know wha ah mean). And dats just one part. You can also generate money from your works not only from radio, but through soundtracks, advertisements, ringtones and many other revenue streams on the Internet.
Now if the stuff that I'm saying doesn't convince you then consider this: a dude from Trinidad called Reel to Reel came out with a song in 1994 titled 'I Like To Move It'. The song was a hit in its time and at the time he did eat a food but that's not the most amazing part. From then till now, this same song has been used in numerous advertisements, been re-made a few times and even used in the hit movie 'Madagascar' . Moral of the story, this man who is probably linked to an organization like COTT that can go all over the world and collect his revenues for him is STILL EATING A FOOD for a song he created over ten years ago. Think about it. Is only $100 to join. Doh stick!
I Like to Move It Move It..lol
