YES, he is absolutely correct. 360 deals are the last efforts of a industries business model, broken and on its way OUT!! BYE BITCHES!
Truly custom printed labels are the most competitive and cost effective products for your product marketing purpose. That is why online label printing company offers custom labels printing to its most valuable customers worldwide.
he needs to settle down a little bit. I agree that labels are on the way out. But if an artist wants a good producer for their album, they need a bank. Unless the producers start bringing down their price, they’re just as much to blame. How much does young guru charge per track? i bet its upwards of 10k. Sounds to me like an artist needs to be the slave to afford an album like that.
