What makes a record "Good"? How do musicians and producers know if their song, in its inception, is a "Hit"? They say "Music is Subjective", but at times, qualitative and quantitative factors DO MATTER when it comes to making and performing Music. In Hip-Hop, Competition is the blood that runs the game and makes the whole industry beat. Names are dropped, disses are thrown, collabs and features make or break, and records get broken for all intents and purposes. For this session of The Made, folks from the DMV have gathered for a conference, fronted by Hip-Hop artists/producers generally representing and wearing the DMV flag in all its bastion and glory, to conduct discussions about the Music Industry, specifically, Breaking Record, and it's not in the way casuals think it means. Topics on what denotes a "Good" record. Discussions on how Playability, Accessibility, and the Artistic/Musicality of the songs/album factor in varying degrees. Queries on how much it matters if a record sells or not, and how the actual musical and sonic quality of the record factors into it. Most of all, conversations on Breaking Records in the Music Industry and what the term truly means for these artists and producers.

The culture in our recent times has greatly shown the prevalence of the feminist movement. In every aspect of life, women have now been celebrated with a flourishing tie-in towards their innate beauty, strength, craftiness, and resilience, more relatively in DMV's society. Although, still in its relatively early stages, comparatively speaking, women are being shown in their rightfully respective light, as they should always be, especially in business, as capable Entrepreneurs. In this episode of The Made, we have been spoiled by the assemblage of glorious entrepreneurs of the DMV representing the SheMade culture.

Like most genres of music, Rap and Hip-Hop Music can be identified through culture and area relativity. Be it the Coastal rivalries (Eastside, Westside, Southern, ATL, etc.), or even the more recently developed personal sounds and styles in the forms of Cloud, Trap, Gangsta, etc., Hip-Hop has shown itself as one of the most diverse and rightfully celebrated forms of music. Putting a lens on the music of the DMV, the soundscape can be distinguished as a collection of Old and New School R&B and Funk, with shades of Old-School Hip-Hop, all centered around a percussion-based rhythm. But to describe it in this way proves to be an understatement and an underappreciation of what the DMV music represents. For this video, feel the passion and heart radiate throughout the length of this discussion from this Conference's panel, composed of artists that represent the Music Industry of the DMV. Through this insightful assembly, discover how the most hardworking artists are usually the most genuinely reliable ones. More importantly, through the experiences of the panel, learn just what it takes for the upcoming and current artists of the DMV to actually reach the universally-defined commercial and critical success. Be graced with lessons on why and how it is important to initiate the growth and success of your area and how one artist coming up can equate to shining light on the other gems of your area.

The Art of DJing is one that is overlooked and at times undervalued in the realm of the Music Industry.

"Us together makes big impact." A community is not just an area where families and individuals are situated and living their lives in a daily bland manner; rather, a community epitomizes the lifesize ecosystem of humanity. In its most fundamental form, a community is a structured (although not inherently organized) system represented by individuals, families, groups, units, and even sub-communities all acting and moving in a purposeful and conducive manner. Acclaimed/celebrated personalities and members of the DMV Community relative to the Broccoli City gathered for an intensive yet cordial open discussion on their experiences on how alliances/team-ups and the over-all harmonious routines and activities of their communities were made. More importantly, the panel gives their insights, suggestions, and ideas on how they approach the community in terms of establishing the kindred spirit between the entities and agents of the communities.

In This Gem, I share a story with my daughter about the power of time. As time passes, we remember our wins and victories much clearer than we do our doubts and fears.

So take that leap of faith knowing that time is will be your friend. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/247artists/support
