Outspoken rapper The Game is warning his peers to avoid signing “slave deals” with record labels.
“The labels sign young artists to slave deals & their only concern is how they can use you to make more money.” the rapper tweeted. “They don’t even advertise or market you no more, they let u do it yourself on IG while they sit back, steal & wait 4 the next you.”
“Stay INDEPENDENT. OWN your masters.” he continued. “Do the work yourself & the payoff will be worth it. Almost 20 years in music & not once did anyone tell me this. Shit, I’m still waiting on them to tell YOU.”
