Gotta Get Sign: How to Become a Hip-Hop Producer

This book answer all question I had about beginning in the industry on how to become a producer.

This is a great read if your interested in breaking into the industry

I read this book and realized I was going about my career the wrong way. In order to be successful in a cut throat business such as this it is easier to learn things on your own and push your way into the door in stead of waiting and ringing the bell. This book also gave me great ideas on how to set up my studio without completely draining my pockets but still manage to make high quality mixes. I also saw the author at a seminar earlier this year, he keeps it real while still being informative unlike many others in this industry who can't tell you how to plug in a light let alone qualified enough to speak on a panel. If I could only read one this for the rest of my life it would be this because by the time I'd finished reading it over and over I'd be paid from all the tips given inside.

A must-have for any producer entering the game

I must give Saphreem his full-fledged props for putting out a book with great knowledge at a great price. While no one book can cover all of the pitfalls, drama, excitement, and props of being a hip-hop music producer, he definitely gives us more than enough info on what to look out for and it serrves as an excellent starting point. There are things in here that I must pass on to my fellow 'Allies' (if you read the book, you'll know what I mean by 'Allies'. He breaks everything down tot he basics without being overly complex, and he has some funny stories that we all can learn lessons from. I almost feel like this is some sort of top-secret book! --- Again, thanks Saphreem! Johnny Jacuzzi - ATL,GA

Worthy

This book was very helpful and I would recommend this to any up and coming producers who want to know what to look out for in the industry.

This is a MUST for all Hip Hop Producers....

I'm glad I purchased this book. This has everything you need to know if you're a Hip Hop Producer. He covers every aspect one needs to know about the music biz, even includes contracts at the back, so I would HIGHLY recommend you picking it up!
