Play The Victim - Episode 165

DJ Pain 1 interview on the Producergrind Podcast. 
DJ Pain 1 stopped by the Producergrind office to give us the story on his come up. He talked about making the mistake of thinking his life was going to change after getting his first placement with Jeezy. He gave some advice on what producer's should do as soon as they get their first placement as far as branding and maximizing the value you get from that placement. DJ Pain 1 cleared up a lot of mistakes or common misunderstandings that producer's have including the difference between an exclusive and non-exclusive license. He also talked about how many producer's confuse an exclusive license with a work-for-hire agreement which puts the producer in a paranoid state of mind thinking their work will be stolen or not compensated for properly. We talk about the importance of having an entertainment lawyer and networking with lawyers before you actually need one. DJ Pain 1 dropped some knowledge on selling beats online and utilizing social media ads that he has learned from top selling Beatstars producers like Cashmoney AP, DreamLifeBeats & more. The conversation turned towards management and Pain 1 gave his thoughts on when producer's need a manager and what a good/bad manager looks like. We also talked about how sampling has changed in Hip-Hop and the new school sample creators getting placements through making sample packs like CuBeatz & G Koop.
