Running a successful independent record label takes lots of hard work. A good business plan, good talent and proper management are essential to making this possible. Here are 7 things to you should avoid when running your independent hip hop label. 1. Choosing a name for your record label before you check to see if it's already been trademarked: Can't tell you how many times I've seen this happen.

Sometime ago I decided that I'd find a some ways to work though the drought. Here are five. 1. Write hooks and come back to them later. Don't try to complete an entire song.

Letting 3rd party sites use your account so ...

You can avoid mishaps like these by always having a few things with you. Here is a short list of them. 1. Business Cards: In this day of great technological advancements, this old school way of passing along your info is still the quickest and most effective. It's a pain in the ass ...
Ever wonder why Common is no longer Common Sense? Or why Soulja Boy is now Soulja Boy Tell 'Em? Well, the answer to both of those questions is, the failure to acquire a trademark. Common Sense, after building a sizable fanbase and an impressive body of work, soon learned that a reggae band owned the name before he did. Soulja Boy was sued by a hip hop artist who also owned the name first and had to either change his name or modify it in a way that was legally acceptable.
