The fact is - No one is going to give away money for an artist to promote himself, and is an insult even asking. Fans buy product, what they don't do is pay for their promotion. That is up to them. Granted Witness Tha Realest may have left Tha Realest a bit short. It was unfortunate, due to it being a really good album overall with little flaws, and didn't deserve to leave him in the financial state it did, but there were many avenues he could have taken.... Being active on the numerous free online tools such as Twitter, Facebook, Youtube etc, or releasing unreleased tracks every week. He has enough of them!Keeping interest going, while getting back on top of things to get back into the studio for his next album.... It's the hard struggle of being an artist. Asking fans to pay for what he should be paying for primarily is just ridiculous

There are many underground artists who release albums that don't sell without going bankrupt.
I'm pretty sure I was told a while back that Team Dime(bibby) dealt with paying for stuff like studio time, web site money , promotion that sort of stuff. Real don't need a day job, cuz, no matter wat people think of him, peeps still pay him good money for barz. I know that for a fact. Plus god knows how much he was making at deathrow.Is a real shame we don't hear more of his muzik, on a more regular basis to keep his name in rotation and to maybe get a buzz for his album that isDropping sometime this year.
