This is a call for material. Seeking rap material for teen female rap artist recording project. Material should be sent in CD form and should include a lyric sheet, demo track with vocal, and should also include a quality instrumental track to be used in the studio. Material does not need to be gender specific. We are accepting all styles of rap / hip-hop material but here are some examples of what type of material suites this artist. Drake, Sean Kingston, Lil Wayne, Plies. I am connected to publishers, so any unpublished material that is selected can be pitched to publishers if the writer so desires.

Lyric Writer: David Lee Love jasmine - Tue, Jun 2nd, 2009 7:25 AM PDT how do you write a song!!!!!!!!!!!cause it is fun and an ensparashun. miguel - Sat, May 30th, 2009 8:35 PM PDT Hi its an amazing website to find and some great things about song writing. But you make it sound like a formula and that idea kills music, for me it isnt a something that has part a and then part b and then part c but maybe it has part 10 or part z who knows. I do not mean to offend but it seems so cynical and i know that fate/fortune may have entered you life yet you feel you have to tell the world how to write a song and thats like saying how to breathe it should be natural and doesnt have to be explained. Please reply and keep singing . Peace and love - Miguel Hi Miguel - I hope that people will not interpret what I'm saying as writing to a formula. You should ALWAYS write from your heart. ANY song you write that expresses what you feel is a good song. That said, there are certain techniques that can help you reach a wider audience of listeners... if you wish to. For example, listeners seem to respond much more deeply to songs that use a clear verse-chorus structure and to lyrics that SHOW rather than TELL us what's happening. These aren't arbitrary rules that the music industry invented; it's what many great songwriters have noticed works for listeners, including, I'm sure, some of your favorite songwriters. Try taking a first draft of one of your songs and reworking it with some of these techniques. See if it has more emotional impact for you and your listeners. If not, there's always an UNDO button! Go back to what you had. Good luck to you and thanks for your msg. - Robin Sireen - Sat, May 30th, 2009 9:21 AM PDT Cool site! I wrote a very nice song, (consisting only of lyrics, for I can't take lessons to learn how to read an write notes and chords,) but it was a huge help for me to use your site! Hi Sireen - Glad you liked the site! BTW, you don't have to be able to read notes. Just learn a few chords on guitar - C, Dm, F, G, for instance - then sing your melody to the chords. Good luck! - Robin Corey Brokish - Sat, May 23rd, 2009 2:14 AM PDT I just wrote a beautiful and moving story, but it was deleted because I inputted the security code incorrectly. Tell the programmers who be to make sure the page does not clear the text box if this happens! Or I'll punch you in the box! Hi Corey - I'm sorry to hear that your comment was deleted. I'll pass your suggestion along to the company that hosts this guestbook program. I wish we didn't have to use the code box at all but we were getting so much spam, I finally had to add it. - Julie Carol - Wed, May 20th, 2009 12:56 PM PDT Thank you, and God bless you Robin! I have been writing "poems" for many years, trying to figure out how to write my own song. The problem is that I could not figure out how to put my words to music since I don't play an instrument. In searching online today I came across your site...WOW! I received so much information from your site that I think I should be able to come up with something pretty quickly. Your site offers great tips and suggestions; I can only imagine what your book will be like. Of course I'm going to have to get it...I learned so much just in suggestions on you site...now I want the rest!! Really...thank you so much. You've given me a lot to work with. renea - Wed, May 20th, 2009 9:42 AM PDT i want to write a song but i need some help how to make a song about my son Zelda Sheldon - Tue, May 19th, 2009 7:45 PM PDT ROBIN YOU ROCK!!

KEYAH-MARIEBRISCOTT - Fri, May 15th, 2009 8:41 PM PDT I LOVE WRITING SONGS BUT I CANT WRITE ONE Urban - Thu, May 14th, 2009 6:35 AM PDT Thank you for the tips and for sharing your knowledge. Let the positive vibrations flow! Thanks®ards Urban Jennifer - Mon, May 11th, 2009 1:25 AM PDT I loved this website!! I'm always trying to write songs but I seem to get stuck with some problems to which u give some solutions here. Things like: "am I being too boring by using a simple Am C G F?"...I start the song talking about something and end it talking about something else, lack of consistency... Sometimes I've got an idea for the verse but not for the chorus and I get frustrated... I'm scared of ending up sounding like someone else... Lol u seem to get everything - or at least many useful things - here and in ur book. Thanks for sharing ur knowledge! Rebecca McKinley - Fri, May 8th, 2009 2:08 PM PDT Robin- I just wanted to say thank you so much! I'm about 3/4 of the way through your book and it is changing my life. You're giving my "creative engine" the "tracks" it needs to run on and I'll never be the same. Do you ever do songwriter's workshops? I'd love to hear you talk about this in person. You inspire me! Thank YOU, Rebecca. It's so great to hear this! As far as workshops, I give online song feedback once a month at SongU.com I also teach a 2-hour seminar for SongU. I just gave one so the next one will be in September. Be sure to sign up for my newsletter. There's a lots of info. It write a new one every two months. - Robin cori - Sun, Apr 26th, 2009 10:57 AM PDT Thank you so much for this web site, because I have been trying to figure out how to write a song sense I was like five.So thank you a million:) sabreena - Fri, Apr 24th, 2009 3:46 PM PDT i wanna sing a song i wrote teresa crespo hartendorp (tch) - Thu, Apr 23rd, 2009 9:17 AM PDT WoW! fAntAstiqUE~ bOOkmArkEd yOU tO my fAvOritEs Jake Grainger - Wed, Apr 22nd, 2009 8:15 PM PDT I just want to say thank you for your article on the previous page, it helped a lot and i have now got a deal with a recording studio in my town to record a rough demo. thanks again Daniel Kresco - Tue, Apr 21st, 2009 6:17 PM PDT Hi Robin, Cheers to you for writing such an insightful and inspiring book for songwriters.
