  • Most of our favorite rappers are signed to a record label. Very few artists are actually 100% independent. Have you ever wondered what the best labels to sign to are? If you had the choice, which rap label would you sign to?

      Sadly, since labels run the game now, the highest an independent artist charted on billboard hot 100 was a 44 spot, then he signed quickly after that

    Well, it's not perse that the contract is bad. Labels put a lot of money into an artist after they signed a contract. They just want their money back. When you sign a contract, you are basically borrowing money for your project and if it flops, you still gonna have to pay them back.

    Let me start with the clear miss; you've failed to include 300 Ent - from Snot to Meg to Young Thug to street rappers like Tee Grizz to small artists in development like Whiterosemoxie to YNW Melly; omitted because Migos, who've problems w every label, didn't understand their own deal? Because Rich The Kid followed the same?; if 10K Projects are listed purely because of Grainge, you're listing 300 for Lyor without mentioning their dominance (and good people in the building - small set-up, family-like). CMG aren't a record label. It's a collective which 'signs' Gotti's runners, right hands, etc. Why is Grand Hustle next. This is so misinformed. Why would Grand Hustle be considered hot today. They don't have a single artist out.....and the ones you listed, Travis, Iggy, saw no success with the label....why Gucci Mane's label...they have 1 priority-artist...I work with people at 10K Projects, why are they listed next....most of the roster didn't make it, and a lot of them just got cut...and they only push 2 artists of the roster...why is Def Jam there...they've been failing for so long that they just relaunched and rebranded themselves to work with UK artists. 300 Ent, Interscope & Columbia run rap..

    YOU GOT THIS LINE UP TOTALLY WRONG WHY WOULD YOU PUT DEF JAM #1 WHEN THEY DONT EVEN HAVE A FREAKING CEO RIGHT NOW THE LABEL IS HURTING RIGHT NOW YOU Should’ve NAME INTERSCOPE RECORDS AND EPIC RECORDS AND DONT FORGET
    RCA RECORDS WHO OWNS 75% of Radio play with HIP-HOP & R&B 👍👍👍👍
