Priddy Ugly Recommends A Must-Have Music Business Book For Every Artist

Priddy Ugly Recommends A Must-Have Music Business Book For Every Artist. Many emerging independent artists are entering the highly competitive music industry without sufficient awareness of how to navigate various challenges that may arise.

Consequently, a growing number of artists are experiencing harsh realities, often stemming from questionable record label agreements they have unwittingly entered into. Having been in the industry for nearly a decade, Priddy Ugly has successfully navigated the hurdles and ruthlessness inherent in the music business. As a seasoned rapper, he has demonstrated his ability to not only endure but also thrive on numerous occasions.

Taking to Twitter (X), the rapper posted a recommendation for a music business book, urging all artists and music producers to study it. The aim is to equip them with the skills needed to navigate the intricacies that come with being in the industry.

“This was actually a case study in my Music Law & Business module in tertiary.. Nick Matzukis addresses this in great depth. I encourage every artist, producer & music business practitioner to get their hands on this book.” Wrote Priddy Ugly.

The acclaimed rapper made his recommendation in response to a user who highlighted how record labels exploit independent artists to eliminate competition within the music industry. “Not to be a fear monger or anything but a lot of labels do sign certain independent artists just to remove the competition. They love what you’re doing,yes, but they can tell if you’re not controlled fast enough you will outshine the best on their roster,” read the post.
