Like I said on your other thread.

Congrats Melissa, you said you were going to do it, and you did it.
My wife recorded 3 new songs and they are scheduled to be on Itunes, Amazon, CDbaby and Rhapsody this week.
You sound great. Most people have dreams, but you follow through and make them reality. Stay strong and don't let the haters get to you. Do what makes you happy.

And remember, Behind every Successful person, lies a pack of haters.

BUT...I have owned a record Label, we were in the Rap Game, then Rock.
We did sell over 500K albums with one of our Rap artist, but we practically broke even with what we spent. If a label doesn't think they the first album will go Platinum, they won't even think about signing anyone. With Itunes and free downloads. The game has changed. If he got offered 350K he should jump on it with a little percentage on the back end.

I agree with what some of these guys are saying, Do your own solo, do your own thing. I wouldn't go the Rap Route. With your fan base, I can see your fans expecting something else from you. But again, this is just my opinion.

My Wife has her own fan base as well, she did her album more POP/R&B. But then again, she did it to do it. Not to make millions from it. She has a list of goals to accomplish and this was one of the last ones.

Good Luck.
