How did you decide to become an artist?
243 entertainment: Its been a long time 1996 jaay did marketing for
C-Note marketing & promotions doing promo for Def Jam in its hay day, epic, bad boy, Atlantic as well as local artists.. From there it was a progression to beats & then m.c. and then starting a label with my brotha from anotha M.J. . V-12, Ox, Gambino, Heat, Tone Tuck and myself want to bring the east coast sound back .. The south is running ish because they support the indie grind.. We on the east are to into cutting other artists down .. In the west ,Midwest & south they all buy each other stuff colab to get more fans and Don hate and allow everyone to float in their lane without negative backlash and that equals success
Never stop pursuing your dreams , learning your craft and staying current because this business will pass u by

Last but not least: Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
we are in a different position indie record label so I have 7 artists I work with a deal would NEED to come multiple 7 figures otherwise it wouldn’t make sense …As far as getting my guys individual deals yes I would because at the end of the day I want to see all my artists shine and I feel like they all are super talented
