DESCRIPTION:
Keynote Interview: RONALD "SLIM" WILLIAMS, co-founder and co-CEO, Cash Money Records
Talk about a bootstraps success story: Slim Williams, along with his brother Baby, started Cash Money peddling cassettes of "bounce" rap on the streets of New Orleans. They had the ear for what people wanted, kept signing artists and selling records. Then they partnered with Universal Music and the rest is multi-platinum history. Li'l Wayne, Drake, Nicki Menaj, Juvenile and many more. So, when the industry is sweating record sales, how do the brothers Williams keep things popping? What advice does Slim have for today's want-to-be record mogul? Come to Sync Up to find out.
