what are some legitimate 9-5 hustles that you can do? that are in music?
I don't understand why you and your artists Mill haven't put that
"NO JOBS" single on the CDbaby or even press up a few 100 CD to give out as promo
so you can start to book shows and festivals..spring and summer will be here faster than you think
here my sticky in this section you might find it helpful

I stop actually making producing and went more into the business part of music
you can manage local artists
you can be like DJ Screw find alot of local rappers and record them and sell the mixtapes
I did that for years and it works even if you're selling out of your trunk
and with the interenet and little bit of flyers,doorhanger,a few shows here and there
you will start to build up a fan base
and then the snowball just goes from
Spektor you are a nice guy but you need to stop asking less questions and start doing more action
for your brand/company
1.get your music up on CDbaby
2.get involved locally on the rap scene...make yourself stand out
3.get some business cards
4.get some flyers
5.rent out a small club or venue and start to host rap battles(this is great way to find out who the best in your city and then start a relationship up with them put them on a mixtape) a $100 prize is a great motivator for local rap artists to come out
and if it really sparks up you could start to get paid to d these battles
clubs will easily want to sponsor the battles and the prize money
because you're bringing in a crowd and the crowd drinks,cover charges you'll get a percentage
think outside the box
I would usually charge for something like that but I feel you need some serious help and motivation
