Anyone have any contacts at a music publishing company or major music label? I’m a hip hop producer try’in to get in the game. Been makin beats for 7 years. I’m looking for a production deal or a publishing deal.

My boy got some tracks placed on the last Jim Jones album through [url=http://www.musicplacements.com]Music Placement[/url]. He produced the Weatherman track. They got a connect with G-unit too. They rejected my tracks cause I’m not 18 tho. Anyone else used these guys? Got any other connects?

Go to a bookstore and buy the 2008 Songwriter's Market. Then start sending out demo tapes to record companies who specialize in rap or hip-hop.

Start your own publishing company with ASCAP or BMI. That is where the money is. If you have tracks placed on an album then you should be able to register your own publishing. If you get future tracks placed then chances are the record company is going to want a piece of the publishing too. Read all you can about how the industry works so you can protect your interests.

Also, learn about other styles of music too. It will make you better at whatever kind of music you are writing.

Good luck.
