Why come you did'nt try to get on the reunion CD? Do you have any new stuff you working on? Was'nt their name the Ghetto Boys until 1992 when they changed the spelling to the GETO Boys.


Sup Brother!

It's personal thing Rap-A-Lot Records has against me nothing against the boys at all I guess they figure a group don't need a Dj any more and I take care of Business.
When we were on Def American Rick Ruben changed the name to from Ghetto to Geto.
Yeah I 'm working on some stuff back to my roots Hip Hip rep'n the 4 elements of hip hop.

make a business card.

it looks very professional. a friend of mine in the industry stressed this when i was asking for advice.

it sounds stupid but giving out contact information on a napkin or writing it on someones arm isnt too fresh

The best thing that happened on this site, well one of. Everything that was posted was knowledge and the TRUTH!! Keep beating the pads, even when you have HEAT. It's a lot easier, from personal experience, to play beats rather than to make them in front of an artist. Tracking beats is wayyy better than producing and it saves TIME and $$$ for the artist. Lastly, my own lil bit to add, always get half up front you will feel better to have something than NOTHING.

Hey Red, I just want to throw ya some respect. I've met a lot of old school cats like you with similar stories. I know I wouldn't have made it as far as I've come if it weren't for all of the advice that you guys have given me. He's right. When you're comin up, it's an important time to have someone covering your ass. Don't let yourself be an easy target.
