It’s the 4th quarter in the music industry which is always the busiest time of the year. All the big hitters are coming out in the next two months including two of SRC’s own, Shontelle and Akon. Back in the heyday of CD sales there was a fourth quarter at Loud we we billed $100 million in sales. Obviously with the change in music from physical to digital we will not be selling that many CD’s, but thanks to new technology, we will be moving lots of digital tracks, ringtones, iphone apps, etc. Shontelle’s album is coming out November 18th and the single “T-Shirt” which we had the remix contest for on this site is doing great at radio and on Itunes. My question to you guys is do you read the reviews on Itunes? Do you find them to be effective or helpful? How many of you buy stuff on Itunes? Let me know what’s up.
What’s going on? I haven’t checked in on here for a bit because I have been busy working on the Akon album, “Freedom.” The album is coming December 2, 2008 and it’s incredible. Akon shot two videos for it that you will be seeing shortly. He was in the office the other day and we had an impromptu dance session. Check it out below.
We here in the building are continually in shock as to the number of emcees who think they couldn’t use $100,000 - both the dope ones and the wack ones. Obviously the emcees who’ve signed up and are knee-deep in heavy work have made a commitment to do everything in their power to get the money and the deal, for better or worse… but what about the rest of you? Where are you? What’s the hold-up? Are you too good for the contest? You think the contest and the money are not real? For all the non-believers…
