Speaking of compensation, how much do features actually cost? Both Spangler and McFadzean echo that the lower end for newer artists hover between the $3,000 to $5,000 range, though that grows with an artist's celebrity status, going as high as $25,000 or even higher.
Eminem. Marshall Bruce Mathers III, aka Eminem and “Kind of Hip Hop”, is known as the best selling solo rapper of all time, and one of the largest selling musicians of the century. Eminem's LP “The Marshall Mathers” sold almost 11 million copies in the USA alone.
Besides Nelly and Chingy, a slew of St. Louis rappers have made it big nationally during the past decade: Huey (with “Pop, Lock & Drop It”), Jibbs (with “Chain Hang Low”), and Akon (though the St. Louis–born R&B singer moved to New Jersey at age 7) all had hits that cracked the Billboard 200.
Freestyle music developed in the early 1980s, primarily in the Hispanic (Puerto Rican) communities of Upper Manhattan and The Bronx and the Italian-American communities in Brooklyn, The Bronx, and other boroughs of New York City, later spreading throughout New York's five boroughs and into New Jersey.
An album that sells more than 10 million copies in the United States receives the diamond certification award from Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). We looked through the RIAA charts and we found out that there are only ten hip-hop albums that achieved the diamond status.
That's $540,000 per show. So, if you're playing a lot of shows, that number can add up fast. At 60 shows per year, you'd be earning $32,400,000. As with recording and selling music, however, there are certain costs associated with performing.
