316 PRODUCTIONS

Record companies, publishers, and music supervisors call us directly to find new artists and bands to sign. They also call to find hit songs, instrumentals and tracks for TV and film placements.

We get the request, then give you the exact details about what type of music they're shopping for. The company requesting the material remains anonymous (for the time being) to protect them from being bombarded with truckloads of unsolicited material

My experience with the former One Mind Magazine and the current DaSouth.com, as well as my contribution to other urban and performance arts ministries has really given me an opportunity to explore and develop many of my own views and opinions about hip hop ministry and even the way this generation approaches ministry in general. I'm very serious about getting those ideas and discussions up here, and I'm aiming to generate a string of discussion boards on specific topics like understanding excellence and integrity, and implementing "systems of activity"...doesn't sound too much like hip hop does it? But it is, and you'll see how it is. I'll also be dropping some album reviews and getting some emcees to chuck in their two pennies worth.

With all of these changes, the music recording industry had to adapt and change its structure as well. Large entertainment conglomerates took over in an international scale by acquiring different branches of the entire entertainment industry such as film, television, electronics, recordings, music publishing, record labels, and even retail chains. Because music infused itself into every major entertainment sector, from film to radio to TV, these entertainment conglomerates were particularly interested in owning the major components of the music supply chain- publishing, manufacturing, and distribution. Owning a copyright of Michael Jackson?s "Thriller", for example, would make the company profits through royalties each time a song was played in a film, a TV show, the radio, or sold in a store while the company just sat back and enjoyed. And with the prevalence of technology, these companies could encourage more and more artists to record, reaching a wider breadth of music tastes, and therefore more consumers. Faster and better technology increased the company?s chance of striking another hit like "Thriller."
