		<description>Big up Ryan !!!
My name is Nexx  i'm a Artist / Producer from Congo livin' in Cologne/germany
i must really say that U are a Man of the Future , because U understood that da future of the muzik iz da "internet" !!! 
The whole nextselection lifestyle project + the blogs and the lil' videoz U do, are really great ! 
U give us anotha view and perspective of the bizz and the Production process !!!
We really thank U 4 that !!!

And as I can see here on this blog and on your myspace site,       U are gettin flood with mails! No wonder coz u are a muzik genius!!!
But i still hope that U can answer me in anyway !!!


My Question would be :

U said in one of your reachback answers, that as a artist we should be ready 2 give away some of our songz like U did with  "hot  2night" 4 New Edition ! I agree 100%!!!
But how can i, as an artist ,protect me from gettin jerked and tricked !!! Coz my crew and me, made some real bad expierences with fake labels  &#38; Producers ( that's actuallythe reason why we do everything by ourselves now ) !! lol !!!
 We were broke that's why couldn't sue these people !!
but we learned a lot !! 

But still, 
which advise would you give to newcomers without a deal ???
What can they do 2 protect theirselves ???



Mad Respect !!!

		<description>I wanted to bring it to your attention that the nextselection@gmail.com is returning emails.  Maybe its full but just wanted you to know because I get a feeling you are very sincere in your efforts to help up and coming producers and songwriters.  And if people keep getting emails returned it may seem other wise.  I know you guys got your hands full with alot of stuff, but I thought you would want to know.

Thanks and let me know when that's cleared up so I can send you some material.

Thanks

Much luv,

		<description>yo!, I can't say enough but thank you for sharing  on your experanices on how to make it in the industry of entertainment. You guys especially Mr. Leslie are the BIGGEST influences to me right now. I opened my company in PR (2yrs and running!) and I write also, it's a real cutt throat industry out there. (LA) Ya really gotta keep up on your toes!. My question is to you is how do you keep up the grind without getting distracted and discourage and how do you know who to trust without getting PUNKED! 

Sincerly Frustrated,
Karen</description>

Let me know, you can e-mail me @ any time.

P.S. Got to love you representing Canada... what what!!!!

Take Care,
