a+r
Those A&R guys at the record label who think they're the reason you're famous. They hook you up with new artists and help you look good, but only if you let them take your money.
'I hate A&R, they signed me for a year and I only got one album out of it.'
My A&R told me I was 'the future of hip-hop', then I got a $1000 advance.
They said I was 'the next big thing', then they said I was 'the next big mess'.
