After I graduate
with my Masters in Entertainment Business from Full Sail University I want to
work with a top record label as an A&R Coordinator. For those who don’t know
what A&R stands for it stands for Artist and Repertoire. It is the A&R
job to scout upcoming artist and assist artist and songwriters on different
projects they are considered the liaison between the artist and the record
label. When I become an A&R Coordinator I want to have the mindset of an
Executive Producer.
While reading an article over at
KarenCivil.com I noticed that I have to put my self in fan mode and think about
what type of music that a fan wants to listen to from their favorite artist.
When reading about 10 Instrumentals We Hope to Hear on No Ceilings 2 (a continuous
mixtape from Lil Wayne) I thought to my self this is the type of research I
have to present to my artist so that we can give the fans what they want. I
think as an A&R Coordinator you have to know about the most popular artist
and songs so that your artist can give their fans a project that’s meet their expectations.
This article shows the most popular songs that would sound good if Lil Wayne
was on them. I would have to present my artist with a list of songs that I
think would mix well with his voice on it. As an Executive Producer I have to
stay current with what sounds are hot from the artist, producer, engineer and
etc. Below is the list of songs that Lil’ Wayne should remix on his upcoming
mixtape.
1.
K
Camp feat. Fetty Wap- “1Hunnid”
2.
Post Malone – “White Iverson”
3.
Meek
Mill feat. Drake – “R.I.C.O.”
4.
Dej Loaf feat. Big Sean – “Back Up”
5.
Future-
“Trap N**gas”
6.
Ty Dolla $ign feat. Future & Rae Sremmurd-
“Blasé”
7.
Yo
Gotti feat. Young Thug – “Rihanna”
8.
Drake
– “Energy”
9.
Big
Sean feat. Drake & Kanye West – “Blessings”
10. J. Cole – “G.O.M.D.
Being
the type of artist that caters to their fans and usually gives them what they
want Lil’Wayne will deliver a mixtape full of the most popular instrumental out
at the moment. When I get in the position to submit a track list of popular
songs that should be on your upcoming mixtape to my artist I have to be in a
mind of a fan.
