Chapter 133 Derry

The meeting went... seemingly smoothly.

If the plan set at the meeting can be implemented well, Song Ya's publicity tasks in May will not be as heavy as imagined. Committing to publicity resources in Chicago and four nearby states, he included two singles in the joint publicity plan: rememberthename and empirestateofmin, as well as na in charge of the California area, the album is nigga4life, and breakingatoms, the album of the mainsorce band that the professor belongs to, they will be in charge of New York and New Jersey.

Then babyface promised to take out the resources in Atlanta and other southern regions, next year his album will be released and the other three parties will use their own resources to pay back. Cooperating with each other and managing each site, Song Ya doesn't even need to spend a lot of cash to buy the local area.

But since it looks like it is said, there must be problems here.

The few people present at the meeting, except for babyface who asked a few questions, basically didn't speak much. Firstly, they were not familiar with each other, and secondly, their personalities and coffee positions were very different, so no one was willing to talk about business on an equal footing.

Babyface is a Grammy award-winning singer and producer. His style of music and personality are not compatible with the other two groups of rap singers. There is basically no communication with each other except for greetings.

And the big professor and nas are newcomers who haven't even released their first album yet. Derry, as a veteran rapper, doesn't like them very much. From the way of greeting, it can be seen that Derry first wrestled Song Ya. Shake hands in the same way, and then pull each other into their arms, and pat each other's back with the other hand while bumping their shoulders, while Derry only bumped fists and raised his chin to the big professor and nas.

Song Ya didn't expect such a result. He originally planned that rakim would bring nas and the others. No matter whether rakim is a coffee position or a status in the world, it is no problem to be equal to Derry. Unexpectedly, the conflict between rakim and his group partner Ericb intensified. It's been a long time since I saw anyone.

"Yo, are you satisfied with the arrangement this time?"

Song Ya could only talk privately one by one after the meeting to confirm. He finished chatting with babyface first, introduced him to Michelle and others, then grabbed Nas, put his arms around his shoulders affectionately, and asked the big professor and others .

"cool."

Don't look at the old-fashioned nickname of "Professor", but he is actually an eighteen-year-old boy, but his face is as mature as Song Ya's. "Our new specialty is all counting on you, apls."

"Yeah, yeah..." His teammate echoed repeatedly.

Although the big professor signed with a small record company, the right to distribute the record belongs to EMI. Song Ya knows that of course it is impossible to really rely on herself, so just listen to what the scene says.

"You can do whatever you want." Song Ya pointed to the girls who were chatting together over there.

These guys are much better at playing than Song Ya. They walked over and chatted with each other, and hugged each other.

"When I get to New York, I will hand over the material you recorded when you were promoting me to Sony Columbia Records. It's not sure whether I can sign the contract, but I will definitely try my best to help."

Song Ya asked nas alone again, "I'll make it one last time. If they really want to sign you, are you willing to go there yourself? Otherwise, if I can help you and you sign with another record company, I will be in Sony Columbia Records. It will be embarrassing, I see Rakim is in MCA, the big professor is also in a different company, your father has a good relationship with Atlantic Records, you have many choices."

"I can't ask for more,

Don't worry apls. "

Nas is not stupid, and he didn't say that they are all brothers at such a critical time, "No newcomer will refuse to sign with Sony Columbia Records." He beat his chest, "Don't worry."

Song Ya was relieved, and we promoted it together for a small month. He felt that this nas was a talent, impromptu rap battle was almost invincible, and because of the good family conditions and well-educated relationship, his literary background was much higher than those rappers who were born on the street. . In this regard, he is very similar to Eskub, educated, but likes to make himself look like a street gangster.

Sony Columbia already planned to sign some rappers this year, and with their relationship with Roberto Claywell, it shouldn't be difficult to accomplish this. It can be said to be points earned easily.

"Hey, Derry."

He eventually finds Dre and Snoop Dogg in the attic, chatting in the unfinished studio, Snoop smoking leaves by the open window, Dre wearing the newly arrived monitors Headphones for listening to music.

Song Ya was a little upset, but he couldn't reprimand them. Fortunately, the two guys didn't stay for long. In fact, he didn't like Derry's character very much. This guy beat women, not long ago in a nightclub in Los Angeles Li blocked the female radio host who supported Eskub in the bathroom and beat her violently, and beat her girlfriend many times.

"Is this your new song?" Dre was listening to the emo version on the trumpet.

"Yeah." Song Ya responded.

"Very good, and the earphones are also good." Derry took off the high-end earphones of the German brand and fiddled with them for a while, "But these earphones are made according to the type of music that white people like, and listening to classical rock is okay. , listening to hip-hop music is not very exciting.”

In addition to producing and singing, he is also well-known in the industry with rabbit ears, and his hearing is very sensitive. This is an innate talent that others cannot envy.

"Really? I can't quite hear the difference." Song Ya replied.

"Hey, apls, are you from G, right? Just like Little Lowry." Snoop Dogg was a little hilarious, leaning against the window and asking, "But I can't watch it in your MV or at home." What gang elements, do you have G's flower hood? Are you a full member?"

"That's right."

Song Ya is very clear that these gangsta rappers who hang out on the street guess that they have a g background, and he doesn't want to deny it, because a little gang background in dealing with these people, especially the famous G background in Chicago, will have many practical benefits. At least not many dare to cause trouble.

He also knew that the two people in front of him were members of the Lame Gang, but the control of the split Lame Gang was very weak, and the members were scattered all over the place, causing some blacks to dare to put a hooded scarf on their heads and claim to be lame gangs To help a member, this is almost impossible to happen in g.

"fxxk! So fucking cool."

Snoop Dogg is very tall, at least 1.9 meters. When he spoke, he squinted his eyes lazily, as if he had just woken up, with a black-specific drawl, "I heard that you have tens of thousands of gunmen."

"Uh... I don't know about this." Song Ya didn't want to continue the topic, "Derry, are my promotional arrangements just now satisfactory?"

"Whatever."

Derry doesn't care too much. They are different from the big professors. According to Na's influence, fanboys like Big A are distributed all over the meter, and there are too many people who help to brag. They don't need one place at a time like Song Ya. Open up the joints, being here is just icing on the cake.

He and Snoop Dogg exchanged glances, and Snoop Dogg walked to the door and closed the attic door.

"I have a business that pays off handsomely and needs a guy or two to go to Los Angeles with..."

Dre spread his thumb and forefinger in the shape of a pistol. "Can you help?" he asked.

"Feel sorry."

Song Ya shrugged, he would not help this kind of help, it was too late to hide from this kind of thing since time travel.

"Yo, Derry, let's tell him clearly." Snoop Dogg persuaded Derry when he saw that Derry fell silent.

Derry thought about it seriously for a while, and finally chose not to continue the topic, "Forget it, forget what I just said, apls."

"Okay." Song Ya heaved a sigh of relief.
