writing lab is equipped with computers that are entailing of songwriting software and rhyming
dictionaries that facilitate the songwriting process (rhyming dictionaries are also available in hard
copy).
We also sponsor song-writing contests for the purpose of securing ample material for our
signed recording artists to work with, realizing that the success and longevity of our artists hinges
to a great extent upon a prolific supply of quality material for availability to and production by our
artists. When a submission is selected for production and/or when the submission is performed

Sing/Rap a Telephone Message & Video Submission Talent Recruitment
Our recruitment consists of vocalists and rappers mailing and/or emailing video
performances, or singing and/or rapping telephone messages for our producers at our recruitment
call-in line. Messages and videos can be up to and no more than 10 minutes in length. Video
performances can also be uploaded and voted upon by the general public at our website at
www.yougotit.com, the method that we most encourage and that best determines selection of hired
talent or those who will be offered contractual agreements with our label, as public votes give our
producers some idea of the projected success of potential signees.
Marketing & Promotions
We also offer marketing and promotions services, including video production and events
management (concerts, etc.). Transportation services for our artists include limousine, tour bus,
cruise line, and flight provisions by means of our/company or rented vehicles, when necessary.
Image Consulting
We additionally offer image consulting services to our signed recording artists and other
clients. These services include diet & exercise and/or weight loss strategies or personal training,
hair and nail care, wardrobe consultation, and other self-improvement initiatives.

4. Our $1 billion and growing budget is exclusively private investments/revenues from our
shareholders.
Payroll Deductions & Financial Counseling
We withhold the appropriate federal and state income taxes, health care premiums, and
other deductions from our artists’ pay to facilitate such collection and returns by and from the
Internal Revenue Service, health insurance providers, etc., where appropriate, and to secure
synonymous benefits to the artists and their families, as applicable.
We also offer financial counseling to our signed artists, i.e. we encourage our artists to
invest in Certificates of Deposit (CD’s) to accrue or save funds such as would generate perpetual
or continuous desired income during and beyond the scope of their active careers in the music
industry—For example, a $1 million investment would generate $50,000.00 annually or yearly.
Our philosophy is discovering, developing, and launching the most promising talent wherever we
find it, and supporting our artists within every reasonable capacity.
