I'm trying to hook up some clothing sponsorship deals, which would help.

In the age of 360 deals, mp3 stealing, etc, you gotta think of new ways to get paid for doing what you love.
This is all cool, but get one thing straight: this is NOT producing, by any definition of the word ("hip hop" or otherwise).

There are image consultants, there are managers, there are publicists, and there are RECORD PRODUCERS. And there are people that do a bit of each (people like you!!), but when you're telling an artist what color t-shirt to wear or whatever, you are NOT acting as a producer.
