#KTT2 MyRapper 2K20

Create an artist and give them a background and we will do a draft on rap style or rapper builds/comparisons drop an artist background/come up story. Release a debut project with no label. Then from there get a label deal and artist co-signs. From that point you start your debut album rollout with whatever promotion method you want to take it. We’ll play with 10-12 artists. And need 5-7 judges. I’ll be the commissioner. And I’ll shortly create a point system for the game.

###Rap Build Styles

**Lyricist**
> *PROS*: respect from hip hop old heads and peers, free 90s rappers features as long with producers) can out rap any other build in draft
> *CONS*: marketability, albums sales, and mainstream feature/producer connections

**New Atlanta**
> *PROS*: connections with ATL artists and producers (free features included) radio play, and easy to market
> *CONS*: over saturation and repetitiveness, lack of crossover appeal, and lack of album direction

**Homegrown Artist**
> *PROS*: Loyal diehard fan base, respected by most peers within the genre, free features from friends in industry, creative freedom
> *CONS*: low album budget, lack of radio play, harder to get endorsements and harder to get headlines

**Industry Plant**
> *PROS*: Industry connections/more flexible album budget for features and producers, streams
>*CONS*: Lack of respect among peers and listeners, wrong move made marketing wise will effect album sales, expectations set high prior to release might be harder to reach

**Cross Genre/Mainstream Appeal**
>*PROS*: popularity, albums sales and getting features from people within other genres
>*CONS*: Album quality a lot will come down to marketing schemes and the rollout to help the album score and rap beefs

**R&B** *(2 Slots)*
>*PROS*: crossover/radio play, free R&B artist feature (from anyone), industry power couple
>*CONS*: lack of rapping ability, rap beefs, feature limits

**Soundcloud**
>*PROS*: streams, cult fan base, own merch line and automatic hit
>*CONS*: longevity could lose appeal before debut album, no lyrical ability whatsoever, lack of creative direction

**Experimental**
>*PROS*: diverse diehard fan base, ability to start clothing line, merch etc, can cross genres as well but not to mainstream level.
>*CONS*: mainstream appeal hard to get, and not as well respected amongst peers, music can be to edgy for listeners

**Psychedelic**
>*PROS*: clothing brand, weed strain, strong mixtape catalog, some crossover appeal
>*CONS*: living up to mixtape hype, ability to grow and mold as an artist, harder demographic to market to

**Rapper/Producer Combo**
>*PROS*: ability to produce own music (selects producer build), can produce for other artists, a lot of connections within the genre
>*CONS*: own production and feature budget, label signed too makes bigger impact on album quality, album cohesiveness and direction is a huge factor for an effective debut album
