Executive Producer in Fan Mode: Lil' Wayne No Ceilings 2

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.
