Who this is for

Three profiles. One way in.

Indie rap, trap, and R&B. The artists, the makers, and the ones running the operation. If you see yourself below, this practice was built for you.

1

The Independent Artist

You are building a career from the ground up. The talent is there. The plan is not.

  • A brand that does not look like everyone else's
  • Real reach beyond your own followers
  • Revenue that does not depend on going viral
Most artists start with Time 2 Win Coaching →
2

The Established Talent

You have buzz, a small audience, and music people are actually playing. Now you need the push.

  • Blog, radio, and Spotify placement that runs
  • A real strategy across every channel
  • The seven-figure rooms: sync and licensing
Most fit here Platinum or Diamond →
3

The Producer, Manager, or Label

You run the operation behind the artists. You need the systems and the relationships.

  • Publishing, sync, and licensing pathways
  • Roster strategy and brand systems
  • The contacts that take years to build

Why this works

Three reasons this is the only move.

The difference between guessing and getting in is who is walking you through it. Here is what you actually get.

29

Twenty-nine years inside the room.

From a 1996 record deal with the producer behind Luke and Kilo Ali to brokering publishing deals with APG and Warner Chappell. Both sides of the glass.

B.A.M

A real framework. Not a vibe.

Build, Amplify, Monetize. Three movements. Twenty-one days. The same plays the majors run on day one, translated for the artist who refuses to wait for permission.

Placements that actually run.

Real radio. Real blogs. Real Spotify submissions. 1,500 college stations. Not promised reach. Booked reach, with the receipts to show.

The framework

Build. Amplify. Monetize.

Three movements that move every successful indie career, in the order they have to happen. No fluff. No manifestation talk. No "trust the process" energy.

Movement 1

Build.

Mindset, brand identity, and a presence that does not look like every other rapper's. Before a single dollar moves, the artist has to be unmistakable from the first second somebody finds them.

  • Artist mindset reset
  • Brand identity
  • Online presence that converts
Movement 2

Amplify.

Streaming platforms tuned to actually pay you. Direct-to-fan sales the labels do not want you to know about. Licensing and sync deals. The quietest seven-figure room in music.

  • Streaming strategy
  • Direct sales channels
  • Live and virtual shows
  • Licensing and sync
Movement 3

Monetize.

Digital marketing that actually converts. Merchandise that does not sit in boxes. Affiliate and sponsorship deals that turn a following into a business. The point was never going viral.

  • Digital marketing
  • Merchandising
  • Affiliates and sponsorship
The Coach Shartric Fly Shy Boyd in the studio
Meet Fly Shy

The man behind the deals.

Nineteen ninety-six. ATL. A young Shartric Boyd inks his first record deal with Carl "Cooly C" Dorsey, the producer behind hits for Luke, Raheem the Dream, Ghetto Mafia, and Kilo Ali, on the Prophets of Rage / Ichiban Records imprint. A second deal followed with Success / Breakaway / EMI.

Then the pivot most artists never make. Boyd looked at where the money actually lived in this business and crossed over. He went on to broker a major publishing deal for a songwriter and producer with APG and Warner Chappell. The kind of deal that quietly funds careers for decades.

Today the mission is direct. Take everything learned across twenty-nine years on both sides of the table and put it in the hands of indie artists. Not theory. Muscle memory.

FAQ

Frequently asked.

Real answers from the man who actually picks up the call.

What is Monetize and Win?
A coaching and placement practice for indie rap and R&B artists, built on twenty-nine years of work inside the music business. The flagship offering is the Time 2 Win Coaching program, a three-week, one-on-one walk-through of the B.A.M. Framework (Build, Amplify, Monetize). Placement packages run the moves for you across blogs, college radio, online stations, and Spotify playlists.
What is the B.A.M. Framework?
Three movements an indie artist must run to go from invisible to monetized. Build covers mindset, brand identity, and online presence. Amplify covers streaming, direct sales, live shows, and licensing and sync. Monetize covers digital marketing, merchandising, and affiliates and sponsorships. The same plays the majors run on day one, translated for the independent artist.
Who is Fly Shy?
Shartric "Fly Shy" Boyd signed his first record deal in 1996 with Carl "Cooly C" Dorsey, the ATL producer behind hits for Luke, Raheem the Dream, Ghetto Mafia, and Kilo Ali. He later brokered a major publishing deal with APG and Warner Chappell. Today he coaches indie artists through the same plays he has run on both sides of the glass.
How much does the coaching cost?
The Time 2 Win Coaching program is $500 for the full three-week, one-on-one engagement (a $1,000 retail value). The thirty-minute discovery call is free. Placement packages are $200 for Gold, $300 for Platinum, and $400 for Diamond.
What is included in the placement packages?
All three tiers include features on hip-hop blogs, online radio airplay, college radio email blasts (up to 1,500 stations), and Spotify playlist submissions. Diamond is the largest reach: 5 high-ranking blogs, 15 websites, 7 reporting stations, and 100 Spotify playlists. After purchase, send your song (mp3), photo, and artwork to monetizewin72@yahoo.com.
How long until I see results?
The coaching program runs three weeks. The full B.A.M. cycle, from buzz to monetized, is built around a 90-day window. Placement packages run for one month from launch, with reach measurable within that window. Results vary by artist effort, music quality, and consistency.
Is this only for rap and R&B artists?
The focused lane is indie rap, trap, and R&B. That is where the experience and the network live. Producers, songwriters, and small independent labels in those genres also work with Monetize and Win. If you are outside those lanes, the free thirty-minute call will tell you honestly whether this is a fit.
