This Book is the next knowledge of Hip-Hop itself, As an up and coming Rap Artist (as myself) didn't know what to think about the book because it brings out every layout of what every artist needs.

It has a vast range of artist guidance and input. It also breaks down the music of hip hop to instruct/guide artists and listeners to better they're way of understand the music.

I read this and have adopted the principles of creative artistry already. I had no idea where to start organizing myself as an artist, and now I have opened my own LLC, joined ASCAP, registered all of my work with them and the copyright office, and released an album with 5 music videos. I have had success in my efforts, winning competitions, getting national press, and fearing not that I won't be compensated for the work that I've put in. And I can credit all of these steps I've taken to position myself for success in music to Independent Artistry.
