What's your "Rap" Exit Strategy?



Do you ever plan to retire from rap or singing? All good things must come to an end and sometimes that is by force. The people aka your fans determine who remains relevant although a major labor can influence their love for an artist...for the most part, they know when you have played out. Don't keep trying to revive a dead career at that point. An exit strategy does not necessarily mean leaving the industry all together, but you can always work behind the scenes and still maintain your respect. You can become a producer, writer or even teach course on the music industry at a high school or college level. You could simply travel and get booked to share your knowledge and live off of your name alone. There is also nothing wrong with switching careers altogether, that's why I urge you to attend college and get a degree unrelated to music in case you choose that route. Going back to school cam be fun to if you never attained a degree. The possibilities are endless! Just don't think that your rap or music career will last forever. Some careers last decades and some only last a few months. Just appreciate the time you do have in the limelight and use it to your advantage!
