With this day and age most labels will NOT sign a artist no matter how dope he is..they will only show interest if you are already "packaged", meaning you have to have paperwork and copywrite proof for all your lyrics, music and beats..you got to have a following and a buzz cuz they dont want to pay out of pocket for marketing and promotion..

If you package your own brand and go threw the trouble yourself you could go the indie route and sell your own records..lets say you sell 50,000 records indie, at like $7 a sale you will earn like $350,000 with no label to pay back..if you were signed and sold $50,000 you would probably end up in the red and owing your label money..

But on a high note, i heard they give Top Top Top tier battlers anywhere from $10,000-$20,000 for big events..in about 5 years labels will have to sign battlers if their paychecks keep getting bigger, best believe they will want some of that money for themselves
