Managing a Rap artist is a lot different than managing a rock, or even R&B artist. Therefore, along with all the technical knowledge of what needs to be done which you can find in this and other books on management, This Game of Hip Hop Artist Management can provide you with specific advice on how to manage a Rap act given the reality of the music industry, and in American society. A lot of this advice has been extracted from interviews with individuals in the music industry who are actively and successfully playing the game you wish to play. This book was written, therefore, for those individuals who have read other books on management and felt that these books weren’t really speaking to them, or that something was missing even though they couldn’t quite figure out what it was.
