[Rapper]. Part 4: Favors and the people who do/do not return them; etiquette.

Originally posted on Medium July 18, 2019:

Work your way up enough as a rapper with some notice under you belt, little to alot, people will come to you for things that you can hook them up. Whether its an in with a venue or someone that has some tools to produce/record/distribute music, some of these fellow artists or behind the scenes folks will somehow want to become your best friend. My background came from a community thinking mindset; so therefore, I looked at it as the information is out there and sharing is not such a bad idea, right? Well that depends. As soon as you share ideas/resources and etc. with these folks, they will be gone with the wind. And depending on how they view you as an artist, you may not even get a thank you or proper credit for helping these folks out. Or they may even be forgetful. I do respect those who will offer back favors and even more when they fulfill them because they get it to a degree when it comes to community. But those who consistently are not thinking this way, maybe they excuse it as business and not considering it can be seen as terrible etiquette. Also, the communication of what you can and cannot do between all parties is important. I can recall a particular artist who I went thru hell and high water to book a show for that it took about 2 to 3 weeks for me to land something; with the help of some friends of mine, they show turned out good and they were grateful. I considered this artist for a feature later on but wasn’t sure how busy this person would be. I reach out on social media and didn’t receive a response as quickly as I did when we spoke when they needed a show. No shade or ill feelings but I do think it is problematic to roll like that. And I am not above criticism in this form. I actually never completed a compilation track for a producer because I did not like what I wrote to the beat and I dragged out not finishing the song. Pretty sure that costed me a relationship but, that’s my fault for having terrible etiquette. Now one time, I recall offering to help a promoter and an artist out with trying to obtain a venue for a performance; somehow, me stating a stronger relationship with the venue to the artist at the time offended the promoter though I was called in to help. The artist threw me under the bus over it though they were the ones who needed the help. But in any case, I say that being helpful in ways where you are helping artists and folks behind the scenes with obtaining resources or completing tasks…be careful because they may never ever return the favor or may even play like they forget your name. Some people in the business talk about the game doesn’t owe them anything and nor do they owe anyone. I agree with that until there are issues of resolve that need to be looked at where the person saying that may be the antagonizing personality in the situation.

And then there were two. New York Comic Con & Baltimore Comic-Con are all that’s left for Con Season 2019! • • #monkeyminionpress #comicons #indieartist #artist #touringartist #daneault #monkeyminion https://www.instagram.com/p/B2hcs01B1k_/?igshid=orq7bbcbvini

Born for this. Broken for this. Esteemed for this. Endured for this. If I could’ve been or done anything else, I would’ve; but the call of Song has been like a spell upon me for as long as I can remember - an insatiable, unquenchable, undeniable call, not just to sing, but to vibrate love, to summon the depths of every soul within the sound of my voice to full aliveness, to healing, to honesty, to empathy, to humanity. I don’t always do it perfectly. But I do it faithfully and wholeheartedly. So grateful to our patron community for your support, especially in the trying times. You make it possible for us to keep growing and sharing and doing this work of beauty!

Thanks to @weisserose_berlin for a beautiful show last night! I really enjoyed @berlinfromberlin -they put on a great show! I played six instruments 🎸last night, and the sound man Chris was attentive and super pleasant to work with- which always makes a show that much nicer. I had such a lovely response from the crowd- thank you to everyone who came out to the show! It was so special, and a wonderful first gig in Berlin.
