A&R's keep themselves low key..you don't look for them, they look for you. They don't get paid by the artist, they get paid by the label.

Major one's wouldn't have a unorganized myspace like that. Don't give any money to anyone, I don't care who they are. If you want to pay money to get exposure there are better places than these little bogus mixtapes I see people doing.

And always remember, if it's too good to be true..it is. Thats anywhere including music shit.

All that shit is fake thats not how the industry works, and noone is getting signed unless they know someone with hookup, its an inside game. Other than that yo just need to flood your area with good music and get some press

Yeah, never pay to get on someone's mixtape/showcase/radar. It's almost always a scam.
