Why dont struggling or underground Rnb Artist make mixtapes?

[bluedeniro]

real talk i really never understood why i never hear rnb artist before they hit nationally radio or 106 n park?

The dude Jeremiah first album was his first collection of music he recorded ever and he got 5 videos off that?

also shoot me links if yall know any dope RnB cats male or female

R&B aint like rap where you can just be shelling out mixtapes where you rap on other ppl beats(truth be told in the game today most upcoming rappers areforced to drop mixtapes with original songs/beats).

Not every R&B singer rights their own !@+$ so they have to pay for it. A struggling R&B artist is not going to release mixtapes for free.

I think there is probably a market if they took an Indie approach, but a lot of R & B artist probably wouldn't know where to begin from thatstandpoint.

Not really, especially if they struggling. If they do it'll be 10-13 songs if they're smart. When Trey does it he couples in his rapping.It's possible but it wouldn't catch on.

It'd be an area where only R&B artists who write their own shh and maybe even make their on beats succeed in. I mean I don't see much praise fordudes singing over other ppl's beats anyway.

One of the 2

It would only help artist that have already established a good amount of fame

but trey songz had one of the most high rated and critically acclaimed mix-tapes of the year and dude entire fanbase buy his stuff faithfully?

maybe because many rnb artists don't write all of their music themselves, so if they're paying for a song to be written
it probably ain't going on a mixtape


edit- didn't read, ^already been stated
