The 'Signed' Trap: Your Record Deal is Actually a Payday Loan

Most artists believe a record deal is a winning lottery ticket, but in reality, it’s a high-interest payday loan designed to keep you unrecouped and under corporate control. In this video, I expose the "Signed Trap" by breaking down how massive advances actually function as predatory debt and why your favorite "successful" artists are often struggling to pay rent. You’ll learn the "Rich Homie Quan" method to negotiate a monthly salary instead of a lump-sum debt, how to reclaim your equity from the 360-deal investment scam, and why building your own infrastructure is the only way to avoid becoming a high-end employee in your own business. It’s time to stop waiting for a record label to "discover" you and start signing yourself to yourself so you can finally become the CEO of your own talent.
