Ep06 Bad Math

from The Sleepover · host Sleep Deez

Join the dopest community on the net here 👉 https://bit.ly/SleepDeezPatreon Think signing a record deal means you made it? Think again. In this episode, I’m breaking down the cold, hard math behind record contracts and why most new artists never see a dollar from their streams. Labels sell artists the dream of “making it big,” but in reality? They’re just signing up for a cycle of debt they can’t escape. We’re talking: 💰 How a $500K record deal turns into a massive financial trap 📉 Why 100M streams can still leave an artist in debt 🧾 How labels write off failed artists and STILL make money 🕵🏽‍♂️ The real reason labels keep signing artists—even when they lose money I’m breaking down the actual numbers so you can see exactly how this plays out. If you’re an artist, a fan, or just someone who loves music, you should hear this.
