BOOK DESCRIPTION
Matthew "M80" Markoff, JD grew up in the Midwest with BIG DREAMS of making it in the Rap Industry. While conquering everything he set out to do as an Artist, including having 4 albums reach the Billboard Rap Top 100 Charts, breaking a Guinness World Freestyle Record and tour all of America and vast lands far and wide, Markoff soon fell in love with the business side of the music and dedicated his life to becoming the BEST A&R / Executive Hip-Hop has ever seen.
Making his way to the top of Hip-Hop's Mount PIMPLYMPUS wasn't always an easy task as many artists M-Eighty grew up admiring looked at his pure intentions with malice and ILL will along the way, never stopping to think that perhaps this random White guy Jewish guy with an untethered Hustlers Ambition and Impeccable Book and Street smarts who grew all loving all things related to Hip-Hop culture, could become an Artists' greatest career asset.
While Matthew "M80" Markoff, JD has worked with hundreds of Artists since the inception of the World's first ever A&R firm known as Holy Toledo Productions, this book details the countless stories of those, for better or worse, who stood in Markoff's way as he built his empire brick by brick on his rise to global dominance.
Since 2004, Markoff has served as an Executive Producer / A&R / A&R Administrator on over 50+ Billboard Rap Top 100 Albums, has 1 Grammy Nomination, 25+ RIAA and International Gold and Platinum Certifications and has amassed nearly 20,000,000 cumulative album sales.
There is no reward without risk and Markoff certainly doesn't play by any rules other than that of his own.
From tales including the Biggest and Brightest stars in the game to those who were merely stepping stones along the way, "100 Ways I've Almost Died While Working in the Rap Industry" is a MUST read for any music lover, business enthusiast or hustler who truly wants to know whether they in fact have what it takes to be the BOSS OF ALL BOSSES.
