The fourth interview in a series highlighting up and coming entrepreneurs and leaders.
Today we interview Raquel Sweets
And without further ado:
-Where you from?
I’m From The Bx.
-Age?
32.
-How did you get in the game?
I started promoting records to the DJ’s for Sadaday & 5*4*20 Records.
-What made you embrace your position? When I started doing Scurry Life Dvd, it got me into the labels & I started meeting Major Artist.
-What keeps you in your position?
My constant grind.
-What are your secrets to success?
Staying on my grind everyday. Haven’t had a day off in 5 years. I’m on my Can’t Stop! Won’t Stop! Atleast until I get my infinity pool! Lol!
-What don’t you like in the game?
I don’t like when certain people in charge force feed you wack artist.
-What do you like in the game?
I like how the game changed. With all the promotional & social networking sites you have more opportunities to promote yourself.
-What would you change in the game?
Just the truthfulness of it! Just because a certain artist makes a track everybody says that’s hot when they know deep down inside it’s just mediocre. If it’s just mediocre I’ll say it!
-If I gave you a milli what or whom would
you invest in?
My damn self! Lol!
-What sets you apart from the game?
I’m not scared to speak the truth! I always call it how I see it & I don’t let up! I work on Christmas, Thanksgiving & even on my Birthday because I know the minute you let up there’s always somebody else grinding for your spot!
-What are your thoughts on 360 deals?
It’s good! Depends on the artist I guess! Records aren’t selling the way they use to. You’re lucky if you can go gold the first week. So in a way the labels have to be able to recoup the money they put out & their not doing it on sales.
-What made you love hip hop?
N.W.A. & Biggie made me fall in love with Hip Hop. I’m married to the Game! I eat, sleep & breathe this sh!t.
-Who is your fav rapper/lyricist?
Biggie & Tupac
-Best person to ever play your position? Hard to say because I play so many different positions.
-Best rapper alive?
Jay Z by default.
-Advice for my readers?
You can do anything you put your mind too! It just takes a lot of time, effort & dedication. And that “I’ll show them attitude”.
-Your definition of success?
Doing what I love & getting mucho bucks for it.
-Any projects you’d like to promo?
