But you won't build that without giving stuff out for free initially, if you don't have a major label behind you - which i didn't. You have to build up a reputation to where people then want to pay money for your music. Then I put my stuff online for free, because a) I didn't own the rights to the music because I simply downloaded the beats online, and b) because when you are building a fan base from scratch, you cannot charge initially.

You see people who do it, whether you believe we landed on the moon or on a soundstage in Burbank, but it can seem out of reach or far from where you are right now. Becoming a rapper seems like becoming an astronaut, or at least to me it does.
