Good topic

R.A. - Hardest out, the whole bad boy turned good thing and gangster / hustle narrative would work..i'd use the mill to polish the image and get some big productions and indie singers.

Shak Corleone - Same as R.A but he has more of a message, I think Rdot is a better mic man but Shak potentially is the better artist

Not looking at a massive return for those two in 2012, but i would make the mill last and go into europe..all the bad publicity would help sell records thoe..i think they could do 10-15k each in album sales

I'd put my house on Yungen and put everything on Ice Kid

Unknowns hmm, maybe this lad Diamond, he's a friend of a friend, can produce, rap, play piano, sing etc duno about a mill

[Haze-e]

Ice Kid

[Salamanca]

I'd invest in Gunna Dee, not necessarily £1m tho.

C/S Ice Kid.

Also, one guy I know thru another guy. Most things are correct but he is slightly awkward and a bit disconnected with certain things. I'll try and get some stuff from him.

[Kurtis]

demonic gangsta rap is the next ting trust me

would need to alter his name though, but seeing as im just rich and wanna sign someone could prove just leave it as it is

either him or Squeeks

skip to 3.45 for my reason

[Uncle Man]

noone

ten yrs ago different story

[Mame Biram Diouf]

Guy my boy showed me about before from Bush, not a mill but something, just has that hunger and presence...

Ratlin and Shak would be worth a punt too with the whole brother image you could spin

[Uncle Man]

in fact if i had to i would invest it in terminator

guy would get on well with the saturday morning kids pop shows

[Kuffir]

squeeks

[Benicio del Toney]

I met this guy through my boy, not really for the youth scene but I feel there is space for a conscious Talib Kweli type rapper and he is getting love.

Lyrically there are not many in the world that can touch the dude.

[Benicio del Toney]

and a great storyteller, video SBTV did for him.

[Natty]

Big H.

The bloodline fan base is like a cult and stronger than most fan bases for the artists mentioned here as in grimeforum/the new age grime fans the white boys love him and would buy his sh*t. People have been waiting mad years for fire and smoke if you gave Big H p's so he didn't need to do the road ting plus a studio and good producers you could make some nice change.

But he has no main stream potential so you still probably wouldn't see your P's back

I find it slightly odd that everyone thinks you have to go through mainstream channels to have a successful music career.

There are independent artists worldwide who have amazing success that I can guarantee most people have never heard of, they don't get no mtv play and they don't get radio spins.

I'm talking artists who have had no.4 and no.9 albums on the Billboard top 10.

The key is fanbase.

People need to start treating their music like a business and stop looking to get signed.

[Marly Mar]

Joe Black can do it all hes too versatile but he gets boring,he got me on this uk rap ting

and maybe young mad b

[Fighting Weight]

Pay them 5 grand to make an album and embezzle the rest of the money in true record label style

What?

all of that applies to the US cos its a continent...through in Canada, and from carving out a lil niche in the US you can live off it nicely and even get to tour round the world since the US is the world's Music Hub. but ur right to an extent UK wise, just not comparable to the US.......a million to spend on a british artist? since he said HH/Grime that wouldnt happen.. when theres plenty better talented artists in other Genre's that really need supporting, not an over saturated with sh*t and lack of talent grime/hiphop scene
