Wendy Day has negotiated hip hop deals for over twenty years. She’s been a champion and advocate for the fair treatment of hip hop artists during her career and has been responsible for some of the biggest deals in hip hop history. Before she stepped on the landscape, no artist in the genre had ever walked away from closing a label deal with the amount of payment, rights, and ownership that she was able to secure for her artists. One of the most monumental deals was the 30 million dollar label agreement she got for Cash Money Records. A deal that also awarded them ownership of their master recordings, which was close to unheard of in hip hop at the time.
Here are just a few of Wendy’s former clients: Cash Money Records (Juvenile, BG, Lil Wayne, Hot Boyz, Big Tymers, Baby aka Birdman), Master P’s No Limit Records (Master P, C-Murder, Silkk Da Shocker, Fiend, Mia X, TRU, etc), Twista, David Banner, Eminem, Tupac and many others… To find out more about what she’s done, Google her.
I’ve been aware of Wendy’s accomplishments for years and always followed her blogs about her adventures in the music industry. So you can only imagine how excited I was about having the chance to interview her about her new book. “How to Get A Record Deal”. It’s a must have book for every hip hop artist, and is the only book right now that’s thoroughly informative about current state of the hip hop business. And you can get it on Amazon for less than $7. Check out a free excerptbof the book on her website.
