In light of the recent contractual issues between artistes and record labels, prolific producer ID Cabasa took to Twitter yesterday to dish some counsel to his colleagues – in a series of tweets titled #DearArtiste.
1.Sign contract like sworn enemies,work like best of friends 2.Sign thorough and honest terms. 3. don't collect upfront dat u can't pay back

#Dearartiste Know your size per time and spend what u EARNED not what u are expecting/borrowed. Let ur craft tell the story not ur spending.
