The rising cost of Freestyle, I was quite surprised to read this article and was a little shocked as to see hypothetically what the artists were making for a freestyle act during that era. Even if they were new to the scene, with an entourage of dancers and a road manager. I thought with their hits played on heavy rotation on the radio they would receive a lot more for their performance. I know that today in the music climate of what it is, and a lot of people are rediscovering their appreciation and admiration for this music that the artists are more in demand today and being paid their worth. There is an artist of the freestyle genre who I have driven countless hours to see perform whenever I get a chance to. Their songs are still played on the radio to this day, this individual works quite a lot and I'm sure makes quite a comfortable living.
