Hip-hop producers wanted for Ghostface, Juvenile, Young Buck and more!
You may have already heard of iStandard Producers, but you may have thought that it’s only hip-hop producers’ battle that takes place at Remix Hotels and many other events all around America. Not so. In fact, they’re up to a lot more to help talented producers build a career.
The company has brought labels on board to solicit and scout for music to be used in major album productions, as well as TV and film. Labels who have already committed to iStandard include Def Jam, Universal, Jive, Sony BMG, J Records, Bad Boy, Warner Family (Atlantic and Asylum), Interscope family (Shady, Aftermath and G-Unit) and others.
Cats who sign up for a full account can post up to 5 tracks ($50 a year) to their own iStandard Web page with photo, resumé and music player. A 10-track account is yours for $75 a year. What’s important about these accounts is that you can then submit to a project looking for beats on the Web page. As I write, some of the track submission oppotunities on iStandard were from Atlantic, Jive, Def Jam and others for vocalists such as Lloyd Banks, Slim, Dolla, Ghostface and Juvenile.
So far in the short history of iStandard, producers involved in the iStandard showcase have had been placed with or worked with 50 Cent, Snoop Dogg, Cam’Ron, Method Man, Fabolous, Freeway, Talib Kweli, Postaboy, Capone and many more. 27 producers have also been placed in Viacom network (BET, VH-1, MTV, etc.) shows. So go get your hustle on!
