The more Turf you have, the more people buy your music and the higher your initial sales are (aka popularity). Per Turf you have under your control:

This is your way of laundering money, you’ll need:

Big upfront payment
Time
Equipment Jobs will be generated to be able to create these songs, like:
Buy or steal equipment.
Steal vehicles.
Obtain weapons.
Kidnap someone and torture them.
Race around with the stolen vehicle. You are not required to do all jobs but the more you do the better chance of your video clip and single to be a success. You also have to release the song within 30 in-game days or it will be canceled and you will lose the upfront payment.

If your music release is a success you will:

Gain a 15% on top of your notoriety decrease
High quality customer visits town.
- If a high quality customer is already in town, their relations with you will increase by 50%.

If your music release didn’t succeed you will:

Not be gaining a faster Notoriety decrease but a small 10% increase instead!
20% Lower initial sales.
The next high quality customer will not make a trade with you unless you release a successful single before a high quality customer visits town.
- This does not stack.

In order to land a high quality customer you’re going to need to impress them in order to close a deal.

Pick the Customer and their security up at given location with a limo or sports car.
You either:
- Feature the customer in a video clip.
- Or setup a meet and greet with your artists, which requires:
  - Setting up a meet and greet locations with obtained equipment.
  - Drive the customer to the meet and great location.
  - Perform a security job while you’re there.
    - Fans might run up or rival gangs might visit.
    - You will be visible by rival informants.
  - Clean up the equipment (for later reuse) or leave it but then you’ll lose it.
Drive to your record label.
Make a deal.
- If you don’t make a deal the customer will leave but you will gain a 25% increase in sales on your next release.
Drive the customer to the warehouse(s) where the items are stored so the customer can pick them up.
- If all the items are already stored in your safe house the Customer still wants to see at least 50% of your warehouses (rounded up with a max 3).
After all items have been picked up, the customer wants to be dropped off at a random location.
