 What's up good people and welcome to yet another episode of friends vibe this is espm bars now I'm joined by Nysa and Kido right here and of course today we want to dive in into a very you know important conversation and by in a usiana than our art industry yeah of course so many people have been talking about the art industry to me one i recomodi has been fighting you know to do so many things then harmonize you know pala kutoka tanzania came out and told us why are you under kawasafi which is it's been like three years that why jua what was the reason behind that yeah so our topic of discussion today is which one would you prefer as an artist to be in a record label be signed under a record label or just be solo wkwena bani jawa kwa pomfanya kazi so sijui you guys been in the entertainment industry what are your thoughts you know towards uh those two you know categories okay for some sorry and uh okay i would say i don't know it it depends with what also what what contract you have let's say and if you see if you're under a record label the kind of contract you will get and the kind of contract you're getting when you're solo also yeah and at a record level you might get more benefits let's say they're paying for everything they're paying for like your music videos they're paying for everything but um when the dividends come back and all that they're getting more than you which is not even actually a real sense now that's not really helping you yes and when you're alone maybe you have to pay for everything which is really like straining yeah it's straining yeah you have to like remove a lot of money because you are just maybe alone yeah and then when the dividends come back and everything you get everything a hundred percent you're not sharing it with anyone yeah so i would i would say if if the record label is the percentage and whatever they're getting and if it's okay for you then yeah i think yeah yeah i think it's better because sometimes all these record labels they don't even care about the artist yeah sometimes they don't care about they don't even care about your art most of these record labels are not saying all or anything but most they don't care you have seen artists come out on record labels with bad blood and all that why because they are not treated well they were taking their music they are posting music without even their knowledge you know so it's just i feel like it's it's it all starts with the agreement you guys have before just to add to what we've said uh cc africans we're trying to be with other tragically label your first world countries you see most of the music label works difference music label your maju african difference from structures in a different place pure artist way to they're not ready to work i'ma to be managed with the music label i'll give you the example kuna artist samba wali sainewa na music label naleo he maka leo maisha aribat lika wami tika on another label wani hako kwa angalia mik mail kiazo saniel kwa nimbaka street kiji bamba ori tene niya kwa label aka evolve kwa kwa kwa saniflani na tuna fatiliy maka leo tuna wana miziki aken poa na nimi na kuna wala sanimi mani piwa wali kwa na chance ya kwingi ako music label na hako kwingi ako music label na waka baki independent nbaka leo hi waka independent yeah menbata but okay nga leo saani wetua afrika sawa waka willing kufanya na music label muna but aguni na music label monye inna guarantee msa ni if kini funga na 10 years da heza kupata hi na hi na hi most of artists waki saani music label inakwa on tune aya kwa excited and show ma contract kaji wini ni okay nga lebe kuna wala saani kenya monye afrika ma afrika hawa na music label lakini bada mbaka leo hiwa me standout me standout nga lei shinski a good example nga shinskete kwa galebo leote na lienda fraternia zaka rule na badwa gemi aki kwa pa kwa pa le nga lea red sun ali nge kwa music label ali senwa nga nasoni kuna time aka potera because piwa music label sometimes ina control ina kuchwa kwa ni ni at times music label ina za kuchukua kukil kereya kwa for example onezona msa niflanya me vuma me vuma me vuma me fuka label flanya na gula msa niflanya na wufia huja ma aneza nipita wana mkunvinsen nge kwa music label on na mkil nga na na sometimes piwa naza baki solo wuka kwa ona pick nuka jikil ali kiba kwa solo baka leo hiwa na jawa hii shuka ataka baka na music label yake so bina nisa sema ni if ya joining a music label take your time as an artist but right now ali kiba is under ziki media yes wana ho di partners wana ho di partners wana ho di partners so we kama upcoming artist mone haunam tu na kumenta amata kwa guide amata kwa sa idea neneza kwa advice kama hauna experience team kuna za join a music label ala piwa nga belia contractu na sign so kusani kwa nga 20 yas 10 yas sign for 5 yas you learn unona waku mold kumana kama sa itriomio triomio na faka kwa music label a big label mii nge kwa mma triomio nge shka triomio kwa nulohi in pelika soul generation bata sa mbonu unata kwa kumpeleka kwa nuu unata kwa puseba afani kwa ni kazi ake safi yake kazi ake kwa sa waka puseba ala fumbona unata kwa kumpelega kwa record label kwa nisha prove kwa independent kwa naka kwa mii triomio wana faka kwa naka music label I see triomio now becoming an international wachana nani a starfrican star so does it mean you cannot become an international star when you are not under a record label you can't you can't if you have a great team onona I don't know how triomio management works but ono a mii zai na fila triomio kwa zako under shule kiki kwa za nusengina badoe ako badoe shule but kiki kwa under music label they can plan for you very well no na kwa mii ono taka puseba afani aplam plani sa iu wizu ono plani a wizu label I want to say that mii na taka niki a gale triomio next year kiki tu wana fanya it's something different angalia nani angalia nika wozas angalia niki ita niki tastikama ako na music label but I'm a proof ono na na mii shinda awards no mona kaze ga miinda solo but niki taku fika ila levo dia kina yemi alade o mona kina Tewa Savage o mona kina Victoria Kimani o mona the likes of our female top female artists in Africa are reitaji kwengi ako label now to me when I would like to advise artists every both of them either you're under a record label or wuko solo under a management zikon advantages not disadvantages so it all narrows down to the contract you're given kuna kontrakteni ita puji mependeza lakini kuna malu taku na finiliwa na as an upcoming artist iyo saio ita pui na mata for you ita pui kusawa juuna fanyu a publicity everyone knows you your music distribution kilamtu anaku yua kwefato ki release ngo mambili kama harmonize ati wasafi he told us that he was allowed to release only two songs paia if he wants to release another song he catens for the production and mind you when you do the production utaipo spale kwa itu pchaniliwa na uki ena kupafomiyo mimbo watanku kata pesa bado awana kula exactly na you've done the production yourself yes under a label but you see now for harmonize when he was getting into that contract be the beginning that was a very good deal ya kus you get kus he was not known but after he was known then now it becomes a problem that anaskia na finiliwa because anafil he cannot grow and spread his wings the way he wants ya so if you like we should actually check the contract visuri wone it is going to work on your favor and at the same time it will still benefit the record label but if you think about tenye now you cannot go and also ya don't tell contracts that are like over ten years ya on up ita blessing ita blessing na lisa isho apona bahati kitu ilu kwa hami a kagapit three ten years ya then a few months into ita medialize eh na fungwa nikama ni me fungwa mi lele and then ya you're here for ten years kus you already signed you already signed this is a contract ita binding and everything even our good friends uh south soul cca kama ma fans waw to me kuna concerns and what is happening jia manza kufani solo project ya because maybe kuna vitu midi tatu hazi wa waki we used to south soul kama wajisa inuna label kuna 12 vitu back to back the music is still there the music is still good but na wuna kikwanda label maybe there's a way they work out there's a new way there's a new formula there's a new system for them but wana sa kuna vitu wana aza kufani zio project zaw moja moja and that actually makes me wonder if a such an international act like south soul piwa wama ek fita point wana fiu nikama wana fini liwa na record label if that's the case kus we don't know and legend imagine namsa ni wonya na ana up coming alakini wana aza na up coming wama pona na label kwa gaya nga leka maiani ya ni label wama yana na mea anza juzy wana jampe ana aza 3 yas labda tanda kuna arobo ito na anam fini liwa utennawal aza iya mea mkuma utennawal di kusawa skina sum goldoroma na kazi nzuri bana beti bana aaa ni sawa msa nindo sasa labda tafika sum 3 yas to kama feel aaana nikama utenpe waldi meni fini liwa you know so ma you want to grow a mkuma kiburi the contract does not allow you to ya na doa kus obviously as a natist you also don't want to to just stay in one place yaa kuso na ukuro fana nandu yas pona jamia pugro but you signed another contract there that just depends that you stay when you want to grow the same place for a while for a while yaa i don't think i don't know just before even entering a contract first of all i feel like you just reading it sometimes the words in the contract are very deceiving niyaa i do yaa so you need to find a lawyer ataka ma just not just to pay them just for you the contract and actually telling you and explain it to you ya in a language that you understand one by one what this means that's better not just you reading and you're like yaa i've got in it alafi piya if kama u nimsani na toa kulebo leo hee give it credits kama u zanio wami jamali kutua kwa street kush kama kona li invest time yaa ke kaku post even if me kusana usi kuji umka bash out usi rene kuna prasim pa di na watungine toa kase meniaje since i was this coming out is 11 minutes kusama li hapa na shkulu of course in the same contract we got it kwa 1% na 1% but i want to be grateful to them for what they've done for me ataka ma kule kumifi nyo badines do rimsani na toa ka ala disya press ananzakulia nongiambaya sometimes ita kukia ukiya kuna na piya lebo mukivata na namsani toa statement kuna doa damo leja patea story line aja tumbia ni what really happened kuna doa we have so many cases kuna wasani wei ngubi toa ma lebo na chiniya maji ma lebo migra zime kufa kuna gati na nili fungo lebo yake bahaiti li fungo yake aka funga kuna wasani nginu nga mesei niwa kikaka empaya waka toka so tuja kusama ni if you're working with an artist be ready for anything but once artists are metoka like it clear for us ndi watu aji wala up coming wasani eh lebo inna tisha oh mi mimisani nini misi wei buka lebo fula jupia wei tui wei na jiyo very well kuna rewa kusai diya kusai yapa up coming artist kumbawa kummenta dila pesa sikwizi sikwizi sikwizi sikwizi sikwizi sikwizi sikwizi sikwizi na tika watu aze kuni DM vituza betu wala up coming betu wala up coming na rosa fi na rosa fi na ni konae na tiki pii sitchaki kutumi ka bro sitchaki kutumi ka but mi what i would like to tell you know artists whether you're up coming whether you're ready in the industry if you want to join a record label please go through the contract visuri and mi i would advise to take a contract and buy us your yamiya coming at least 3 years and then you can re-evaluate achai kwa indikated eh achai kwa indikated kwa contract we can re-evaluate no ikuwe usikwe agridi sahi usa idike alafu 5 yas on now you're complaining it's as if you did not sign that contract yeah so normalize getting a lawyer clearly to read for you that contract and explain to you normalize consultation normalize consult and also taking just your time to understand what you're getting exactly don't just sign because we are in kujia and you're up coming and you're like ah this is a hugest label so now i have to sign one in the tab and no i'm just signing nah take your time even if you're up coming now see why you're like heeshwa yeah you feel like pwaza pwaza those people you wanna kwa rakisha na on diwa wanna taku they something very something me just to the artist music is business simple music is business aku na ubesite nibiasi nara na usifila tueni mnyongi atijunans asasai you're taking anything that is going to cost you five years on when you're famous it is going to cost you so have standards whether you are poor you know they say poverty is mentality it's your mental you know thoughts so don't be poor even in your thoughts if you do not have money if you're poor financially don't also be poor in your thoughts think have a standard and I mean I feel like this is a very we have a long way to go as a country when it comes to music labels and just management but I'm sure we are gonna get there I mean at least we are having these conversations there so I hope to my side I'm to Leo if you're an upcoming artist please go consult you know on getting to aku side and if also independent is working for you why not why not continue being independent you don't really need a music label if it's working for you yeah simple as that all right guys this is friends vibe remember to subscribe hit the like button and share this video to your fellow artist at Awa Lan all right
