There Is a Major Label A&R Showcase in Chicago This Weekend
Speaking with HipHopDX about the event.
"I got the idea from watching my friends pay thousands of dollars to local promoters to be opening acts at their concerts," Monopoly said. "I noticed that they would pay a lot of money but didn't get all that much real value besides some backstage passes. I asked my man if he would be willing to pay to perform in front of A&Rs that could potentially buy songs from them or get them closer to securing a deal and he said, 'Absolutely!' Shortly after I started planning this first event and here we are."
Attending will be A&Rs from Interscope Records, Atlantic Records, Motown, and RCA. There will also be a surprise guests coming. John Monopoly managed Kanye West through his first three albums. He was also an A&R at Violator Management, Jive Records, among others. He co-founded of Lawless, Inc in 2011.
