Summary: THE ARTISTS/WRITERS/PUBLISHERS/PRODUCERS BIBLE!
Review: If you read this book you'll have enough to get on your way as an artist not necessarily as a music entrepreneur. Though the book is week on the independent label start up side, this is a must you read won't feel cheated! Kashif presents the infromation in a clear and concise manner, its almost as if you were engaged in conversation with him. It takes you through every step of record contracts, royalties, publishing, production deals, management, and accounting. I find myself reffering to it time and time again!

Summary: What you better have if you're new to the game
Review: This book offers sound advice as well as solid examples of contracts and situations you'll be faced with. It makes a positive yet realistic view of the music biz and puts it all in perspective. It made me feel like I'll be face to face with Kashif one day soon, thanking him for writing this book. Though not a book targeted for a specific field, which does make it handy for all readers, it reveals what to look for in the first place.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: EVERYTHING YOU'D BETTER KNOW
Review: Timing really is everything...

Shortly after Donald Passman released his book, "All You Need To Know About The Music Business," Kashif released, what many have come to view as an urban version of Passman's offering.

Even if Kashif published his book first, it would not be the phenomenon that Passman's book has become. While it is highly informative about many music industry topics, it's simply not as engaging or as well written.

His real life experience and extensive background as a songwriter/producer is evident when he speaks about publishing, which is the true strength of this book, and will be of greatest value to those who read it.
