Jake Jenkins - Don't Ask Me How I'm Doing EP (March 10, 2017) Album • Page 6

Good heavens Reginald this Jake Jenkins EP Fucking slaps

 

Certified bumps in the whip


How corny would it be if I listened to my own EP while delivering pizzas all night tonight

 

Can someone spit some bars over some of these tracks?

 

Fantastic work dude

 

I'm tryna get these out to rappers it's a pretty fuckin saturated market but I feel my sound is way more unique than generic shit being pushed out. But most people want that generic shit. And they want it much cheaper than I'm willing to go. But I'm gonna try using these beats and a lot of others from the last couple years

 

Why have I just now found out about this Jacob sis?

 

Yo this is awesome dude. shared it with my friend who I work on music with and he's digging it too. Great work, will definitely listen to this more and probably freestyle over it

 

I'm like half asleep but this is really good man

Will need to make time to listen to it more this weekend

 

"Don't ask me how I'm doing, these fireass beats speak for me"

 

"Relieve the Pain" is a cool track.

 

This is a good EP by a good friend of mine named Jake Jenkins. Can't wait to spend more time with this. I had a fun time grooving to it in the kitchen this afternoon

I'm so proud of you buddy.

 

somebody really needs to over "my own devices" lol

 

Wow this is great.

 

Keep listening keep sharing love y'all

 

This shit goes hard. Love Constant Threat.

 

I'm digging it man! Lots of cool sounds and atmosphere. Whole thing bangs!

 

Sort of an outsider here but why this strategy over giving away as much as you possibly can to as many people as you can to establish yourself? Once your name is out there you can start asking for more $$$. I mean it seems like you've found your sound, so can you proliferate and make sure everyone hears it? Not criticizing at all, just genuinely interested in how this works!

 

The way I've seen producers operate it goes in a certain order:

1. You sell beats for a low flat rate to get your name out there on other people's albums, you offer for free as well but have the free beats watermarked to further promote your name. A lot of artists don't like to watermark beats as it ruins quality so they may not offer that option.

2. As you get a bit more popular you slightly up the beat rate and add in terms that go along with distribution numbers so that you can get percentages if the song does become wildly successful.

3. You charge much higher amounts because you're an established name in the industry.

I've bought from Jake before and the rate he charged was extremely reasonable, had no watermarks, and I had no limit on distribution. The way I see it, it was much more preferable to grabbing a free beat with a watermark all over it and limitations on how much I could use it.

Another thing to consider is the idea that Jake may want to build repertoire with specific artists, and not have people he doesn't think is good grabbing his beats for free and promoting his name with a negative connotation, if that makes sense.

Just giving my two cents of course.

 

where can I hear the full thing?

 

Bandcamp

 

Thanks for the reply. This is illuminating.
