Producer M-Phazes fields questions telling aspiring producers how to get their beats heard by decision makers. While emphasizing that preferred tactics ultimately depend on individual goals, M-Phazes recommends distributing CD’s to labels, A&R’s, fellow producers and utilizing the the internet, web forums, etc.

WOW I WISH HE WOULD HAVE TOLD ME SOMETHING I DIDN’T KNOW.EVERYTHING U CAN IS REAL VAST.IM IN A FORUM NOW I GIVE BEATS TO EVERYONE I CAN ‘AND I BEEN TO A FEW SHOWS . I DON’T KNOW ANY A&R’S.NONE.WH0 CARES RIGHT ? JUST HAD TO SHARE MY PAIN WITH SOMEONE EALSE.
For real Traxx. I feel you. Its who you know. Mphaze really didn’t say anything we all dont know. If I had a chance to do what I can then it would make a difference. Sending to record labels I think its a waste of time. They won’t listen because evrybody knows somebody and they get the hook ups first. I think its about luck. Just being at the right place at the right time.

tony, you seem to be an expert on many subjects, and just an all around positive / productive guy. a visionary and a leader is what you are. i’d love to see you do one of these info vids.
Every since the internet boom with youtube it seems hard right now. You gotta find a way into the game that not everyone ealse is doing.I spend alot of time thinking about this. (With no caps).I dont really want to do a youtube video because I dont wanna be on tv or whatever u call it.Too many women might leave thier husbands.I would do some crazy shit like make a beat on the mpc live in a strip club with naked women dancing to my music on the pole while im dressed like a pimp.Thats a good way to get 2 million hits though.lol
^^Yeah, nobody has ever done a music video involving strip clubs, that’s a pretty ground-breaking angle. Stick with that.
