Those of you who think they can just post their demo on Youtube and wake up stars in the morning...very unlikely! Unless, you're super duper, good.
However, if you're looking to make it as an R&B, Hip Hop, Pop or Rock artist, you need to get your music heard by
A&R Record Labels. Period. And to do that, you're going to need to send your demo to hip hop record labels. And you can't do that without hip hop record label addresses. So, where will you get such a good hip hop record label database, full of industry contacts?
Many people don't even knowhow to create a Press Kit or address their demo package to record labels. They do it completely wrong, send it off and then think, "Oh, why didn't anyone reply to my demo, i am such a good artist..." Well, daaa, they way you sent it totally sucked! You can't just send junk to A&R's. They are professionals and they can easily spot some teenagers trying to spam them with some low quality songs.
It will do you no good to address a demo package to a record label at large; you never know where it will end up, and it is unlikely an A and R representative will ever hear it. You need to be much more specific in addressing your demo package; you need to find exactly where to
send your demo. This will mean finding the specific department that listens to demos, and it ideally will mean that your demo will be addressed specifically to a certain representative. Specificity and accuracy in addressing increases the likelihood that your demo will get heard and that you will get discovered by an A and R representative.
