Because producers are so important to the commercial success of records, it is every musician’s goal to collaborate with the greatest in the business. However, you need money in order to be able to make this happen before it is even conceivable.
JAE5, one of the best producers in the world, started a controversy on social media after disclosing his production costs.
The Grammy-winning producer shared some personal information with the public about how much it costs to work with him. Over the years, he has collaborated with notable artists like Burna Boy, J Hus, Skepta, Dave, Rema, Koffee, NSG, King Promise and a long list of others.
Today, June 18th, 2022, Jae5 announced on his Twitter page that his production fees begin at £25,000. He added that he only charges NSG less since the group is family to him.
It’s £25,000 for a beat from me, do not not book a session with me knowing full well you can’t afford the price it’s a disrespect! And if u try reproduce my thing my lawyer will sue u for your little £10 earnings behave yourself. Only ppl who pay under 10 are NSG AND THATS BLOOD.
