The A&R behind Katy Perry's Teenage Dream says you don't want a record deal. You want a partner.

Chris Anokute has worked A&R at Capitol, Universal Motown, Island Def Jam and Epic. He's signed Katy Perry, Iggy Azalea, worked with Fifth Harmony and Zara Larsson, and managed Bebe Rexha and Grammy winner Muni Long. He breaks down what 25 million streams really pays back, a fair deal with your manager, and why big advances end careers. Then he plays Sign or Decline with seven famous artists.

If you have been posting for months and you are stuck at 200 views, you do not have a music problem. You have a content problem, and Junior Makame, whose team at RAPVILLE pulls 200 million views a month for its artists, shows you exactly how to fix it.

He breaks down the three sins that keep a page stuck, why a trend only works if you remix it, the HLEV framework behind every RAPVILLE video, the mute test for your old posts, and why going viral and building a fan base are not opposites. Then he builds viral ideas for five artists on the spot in the Hook Lab.

Most artists cannot tell you why people like them, and that gap is why good songs still fail. Justice Baiden, co-founder and Head of A&R at LVRN, breaks down what he is actually listening for: whether the artist fits the song, why the comments under your posts are usually right, the three eras of A&R, and the misses that taught him more than the hits.

Music publishing is the money most independent artists never collect, and nothing in the system tells you it's missing. Jacob Paul of Kobalt / KOSIGN explains how songwriters actually get paid: the two copyrights in every song, the three royalties, why a PRO alone leaves half your money on the table, the $1 billion black
box, and what to do this week if you've never registered a song.

He managed Lady Gaga. Now he wants to manage a million artists at once. Troy Carter (Atom Factory, ex-Spotify, now Venice Music) joins us to break down why most artists are never getting a manager, and what to do about it.

In this episode, Troy shares the priceless advice Benny Medina gave him (hint: STFU), an insane Suge Knight story, Lady Gaga's black perfume, what a manager actually does for an artist, the biggest advantage signed artists have over independents, how most artists make the mistake of treating singles like entire eras, what Spotify taught him about streaming money, the current landscape of AI and music, the future of the music industry, his latest product comanager and what Venice Music is building, and a very special edition of the Rapid Fire Rampage.

Tim Weber has spent 17 years listening to independent artists blame their reach, and he is convinced the real problem is that you asked those fans for money about three steps too early.

In this episode we cover the rule of four and why every other industry gives three times before it asks once, the swap model for trading a real reward for an email instead of just taking it, how one artist sold out two nights at Red Rocks before the public had access, the case against the traditional 20% manager deal, and more.
