I'm glad I purchased this book. This has everything you need to know if you're a Hip Hop Producer. He covers every aspect one needs to know about the music biz, even includes contracts at the back, so I would HIGHLY recommend you picking it up!

I must give Saphreem his full-fledged props for putting out a book with great knowledge at a great price. While no one book can cover all of the pitfalls, drama, excitement, and props of being a hip-hop music producer, he definitely gives us more than enough info on what to look out for and it serrves as an excellent starting point. There are things in here that I must pass on to my fellow 'Allies' (if you read the book, you'll know what I mean by 'Allies'. He breaks everything down tot he basics without being overly complex, and he has some funny stories that we all can learn lessons from. I almost feel like this is some sort of top-secret book! --- Again, thanks Saphreem!

I read this book and realized I was going about my career the wrong way. In order to be successful in a cut throat business such as this it is easier to learn things on your own and push your way into the door in stead of waiting and ringing the bell. This book also gave me great ideas on how to set up my studio without completely draining my pockets but still manage to make high quality mixes. I also saw the author at a seminar earlier this year, he keeps it real while still being informative unlike many others in this industry who can't tell you how to plug in a light let alone qualified enough to speak on a panel. If I could only read one this for the rest of my life it would be this because by the time I'd finished reading it over and over I'd be paid from all the tips given inside.

This book was very helpful and I would recommend this to any up and coming producers who want to know what to look out for in the industry.

This product, "Gotta Get Signed" is a wonderful addition to any artists library. I would also suggest getting audio products that you can use to have professional songs, like the CD "Heat Beats Vol 1" or similar products.

The book has some good information in it, especially regarding contracts and deals, but it's too short and seems incomplete. For $15 I expected more, but on the positive side I did learn some valuable things from an industry insider with lots of experience. Like an earlier reviewer said a lot of the information is pretty obvious, but a lot of it isn't and you probably wouldn't know unless you're in the industry. I was hoping for a more structured and in-depth approach, but the book served as a good overview and introduction to producing. Overall I'm glad I bought the book, because I learned something. If you get this book get a few other industry books along with it.

This book is a great read for any upcoming producers... teaches you many things you need to know bout the music game!!

I found this an excellent book written by a pro. First I like the cover design, the clarity of the text print, and the neat content organization. Next, the book provide you with a lot of useful information, practical advices on all the aspect relevant to a producer: talents, attitude, beats making toolz, record deals, finance, managing artists, gettin' paid, how to deal with R&A .. etc, and the book also have a very good resources section which the author gives us the list of songs for a samples library, address of record label and company.

Overall, Gotta Get Signed is worth the money for me, because it helps me understand much more bout the producerz job.

i bought this for my boyfriend because he's going to Production school. He loves reading it becuase the arthur is down to earth and breaks everything down as far as what goes on in the production world & his past experiences.

This book answer all question I had about beginning in the industry on how to become a producer.
