The Autobiography of Freeze Flame:

Vol. 14: 2000 & BEYOND, The Rize & Grind Era Pt.6




Progress for Freeze Flame was slow but steady through the end of 2007 and into 2008... The main idea was to develop a brand, build a studio and become self reliant for the most part...

By this time Red Brown & Jae Spillz had two seperate fully operational studios that were able to do different things, recording and vocals were accomplished with Jae's equipment, and Red had the ability to create some beats with his, but with some technical difficulties at times it wasn't very consistent...

It was in 2008, when the Freeze Flame roster of talent started to grow, first with an idea, then with some real effort on behalf of everybody involved. Freeze Flame Productions Inc was about to become a full blown Record label with Music Publishing capabilities as well, which meant potential Royalties and sales and shows whenever possible...

Red looked into registering the label with SOCAN, it was a slow process, and had to be done through mail for the most part, First he needed to register himself as an artist, in order to be able to register the company as a publisher....

After doing that, each artist needed to be signed to a publishing contract and submit their own paperwork in order to be fully registered in order to receive any royalties...

This was the bullk of the time taken in 2008... It wasn't until late July 2008, when Red suffered a serious injury that took him out of the workforce for a time.... He shattered both elbows in a workplace, due to a fall...

Red, although in much pain and dealing with the legal issues related to the injury, saw this as somewhat of a blessing in disguise... Freeze Flame Productions Inc and newly formed Third World Council Music Group/Publishing began to take shape... Jae Spillz and his brother D.E.U.C.E. were instrumental forces in the process, introducing Red to other artists that came into the fold, I.L.L.A.H. From a group called Saga Touch was the next artist to step up.

Also, introducing Red to the rest of the Saga Touch camp... And shortly after Red's Injury Mike Swift came to town to record among other things... During a recording session, Red had left on a Web cam to record what had been happening in the studio area...

At the time, the studio consisted of a space in Jae's Basement, it worked but thinking ahead Red thought they needed a space that was a professional work space, so they could both record the roster talent, and charge for the service of recording other outside their camp...

................................................

It was 2009, when Red had already been unemployed for about 6 months and during an exhaustive job search in the middle of an economic meltdown, he found some rejuvenation...


His focus lead him back inevitably to Music and his company. It was around this time that he began working for himself, through his company. He tapped into an under utilized skill he had only been using to keep track of his own company, Bookkeeping.

This allowed Red to make money for the company. In turn, allowing the company to increase its revenue and stay relevant. It was all in preparation for the long term plans....

It was in the early months of 2009 that Red's paperwork was finally completed. Freeze Flame Productions Inc/Third World Council was now a Music Publisher as well as an operating record label, now it was time to get the roster talent's paperwork in order as well... proving more challenging than origanally thought.

Building up the studio took time, longer than anyone wanted it to, but it was a challenging task getting all the equipment needed and making an area sound proof, with little or no budget... Meanwhile, D.E.U.C.E., was working on parallel projects. He had started shoot some videos... Something that should have started much earlier....

After being introduced to Mike Swift and the movement he was creating with his business partners, To The Billboard & Konektado DVD magazine.... Red had so many ideas that paralleled those and could be considered to be affiliates...
