really it depends on how you plan to market yourself. 1)Indie (Being An Indie Artist) or 2) trying to persue a major deal

1st and formost is a solid album 15-20 cuts. If going the indie routh it would be good to have a marketing plan and/or promotion plan in the cut. noone gets distro deals no more. whats usually being offered to someone like you is a P&d deal. So if you plan on going indie it be good to have a few benjis in the bank.

if your trying to get a major deal, its the same cookie cutter advice that can be found all over the net. Get your buzz up, do shows and hope your marketable. the rap game now is about 30% talent 70% marketing and promotions.

they can make anyone a platinum selling artists, just depends on how marketable you are.

as for you, make connections. Its really all about who you know.... and your presentation. you got to know how to sell yourself, and never cut yourself short. Good press kit is a must. Good pictures.

get a real photoshoot. you can prob find an upcoming college kid on craigslist.com for like $50-75 to do a proper photoshoot.

Hire someone like Sunzoo off this site to write you a bio. you will need a solid presentation.

key elements are bio, pro pics and banging cuts.// if your music isnt up to par dont try. per-fect your craft until you impress yourself. just just juice up a presskit with pretty pics and a slaming bio if the music is wack.... you can put shit in a nice pretty box but at the end of the day its still SHIT

.. pressing and distribution

They press it and distribute it in 'x' number of stores... sometimes Regional... sometimes national...

You're still responsible for marketing...

DLM Productions takes it up the butt!
Would you happen to have any advice on how to market beats to major labels and shit? Are my beats even on the level that I should worry about that yet? (you can hear some beats at: www.myspace.com/itsdlmproductions).

Some of the most successful and legendary music producers in Hip Hop/Rap Music developed their own talent and were instrumental in marketing and promoting that artist. When the artist broke (achieved a certain level of commercial success) then the music producer was automatically elevated to another level. Some of the music producers include:

Dr. Dre
Timbaland
P. Diddy
The Rza
Jermaine Dupri
Organized Noize

Industry Pimping also is a good read on the music business.
