Creators, and especially producers really need to listen to Hit-Boy's story about his 18-year publishing deal. Just because someone is offering you money up front, doesn't mean it's a good deal. @Hit_Boy, thank you for speaking on this, and congrats! I love to see producers with 100% ownership of their compositions.

They always in a hurry when it benefits them.

This one is extremely interesting. We have had a song in our @BeatstarsPub catalog for over a year called “PSA” by @IconicSavvy produced by @ProofOnTheTrack. We represent Proof. The song had about 300k streams, and @Drake found it somehow, sampled it and created “True Bestie”! Super proud of @ProofOnTheTrack for his work, but also the fact he had it registered properly which allowed #Drake to know who to contact to clear it properly. Go stream “True Bestie” off “Maid Of Honour” and shout-out @IconicSavvy

The first two songs on #Iceman by @Drake were co-produced by two guys I have watched work, grow and stay relentless for years. On top of that they have trusted me and the @BeatstarsPub team to help and protect them. I’m extremely proud of and grateful for @boiyanel and @skeyezbeats 🤝❤️ “Make Them Cry” co-produced by @boiyanel x @skeyezbeats “Dust” co-produced by @boiyanel

Sharks 🦈 will be out at midnight. Be safe out there creators 🥶

#KendrickLamar vs #Drake beat searches on Youtube over the last 5 years.

#Iceman 🥶

Just got an email for a sample clearance on “Iceman” for a song with 300k streams. The producer hasn’t responded yet so he has no idea yet. Today will be a good day for him 🥶

The MLC is great, and every admin delivers there. But, they ONLY collect mechanicals in the USA. So if you choose to go to them directly, you need a way to go to all the mechanical societies and other societies worldwide. This is why publishing admins exist.

For Composition Side
- Register with a PRO as a writer to obtain your IPI #
- They will pay you writer share performance royalties directly
 With your writer IPI #, sign up with a publishing admin to collect worldwide: - publisher share performance royalties - mechanical royalties - sync royalties Register songs with pub admin only (they send to your home PRO), include all full names and %’s. Accuracy is 🔑 
For Master Side
- Distributor/label collects and pays streaming master royalties from Spotify, Apple Music, etc.
- Sign up w/ SoundExchange - they collect US digital performance royalties
- Sign up w/ a global neighboring rights admin that collects international neighboring rights royalties These are all separate royalty pipelines and most artists only set up distro a PRO.

Some of these podcasts that discuss the music industry would benefit greatly from bringing in a cohost who actually understands the modern music business. A lot of bad information goes unchallenged.

Giving yourself opportunity is a great thing. More releases = more potential earnings (master, pub, sync/micro syncs). So I understand that logic. But, imo, as a seller, you are shortening your inventory and setting a precedent with buyers. Find the median.

We are clearing official music for GTA a new Chris Brown song this week. Love what I do.

I stopped worrying about online opinions a long time ago. While people complain on the internet, I’ve got creators hitting me up saying they paid off houses, cars, and debt, and built businesses that changed their family’s future. I’m not here to make everyone happy, and I know that’s impossible. My focus is staying committed to the people who’ve trusted me to be part of their journey.
