    Know what would be cool? A strange music social media platform with streaming built right into it. Not sure how easy and profitable this could be. I'm speaking strictly from a consumer standpoint, it would be cool. I think tho if you could have everything under one umbrella rather than having to deal with all these third party platforms, it could eventually be more profitable. Still use the third party platforms but have like a VIP strange music platform. Eventually you could have millions of fans exclusively only listening to strange music artists. Something to think about as you're branching into other genres and markets.

    I knew Jay Trilogy was a mistake signing. He literally has made like 5 songs total, there was no time for him to grow. there are thousands of good potential artists online who have a couple songs, but most of them quit after a year as its just a phase. Strange signed him too quickly, cuz there wasnt enough time for Jay to see if this is what he wanted to do. Ali Tomineek should have won PTSD and been signed, he is someone who truly grinds and would have better fit

    • @charlesmaclellan8124

    Huh. An hour ago I was thinking to myself, "Travis is a cool guy and he's always pretty interesting to listen to, but do I really wanna blow an hour on this?". Now I can't wait toss my money at his streaming platform. Tbh, I think there'd be a *lot* less music piracy if people knew that paying to listen to them actually gave *that artist* the bulk of your money. I don't want to pay Spotify to contract Drake and whoever else when I really just want to listen to little-known artists who make fringe music. I only worry that if his system doesn't work the old way & flatter the powers that be, then he might not get the current industry giants to bring their music to his platform, and that might hurt his platform's popularity (thus its profitability and ability to exist) as a whole. I'm not going to pretend to know how it all works, but I just hope the existing giants don't throw a fit and choke his operation from the beginning given how much control they have over music right now. Also super excited for the talent that his platform (and conglomeration) will inspire to exist in the first place.

    @dr.prof.ofhiphop6206 6 лет назад

    Hey Jay, When I first seen you with Tech and Krizz in the "PTSD" music video, that shit almost burnt my house down. Straight flams and dope bars all the way.
    I been listening to Rap and Hip Hop Music for over 28 years now. I got about 2500 records concerning that music direction. I followed the careers of all Cash Money, No Limit, Aftermath, Shady Records, Death Row aso. Artists and know a Record Deal can be shady sometimes or very prolific.
    I normel wise never comment or write artists about my thoughts, but I just saw the Strange Music CEO Travis interview and thought damn.
    I of course don´t have the input or knowledge to give you any advice and don´t want to side with anyone.
    I do know however a record deal for a young talent is very stressful. A relationship is harder to handle, time for famely and frinds isn´t their anymore, you have to do a lot of touring and commercial activites, you have to meet seemingly impossible goals and so on...
    There are couple god books from Eminem, Dr Dre; 50 Cent, DMX and a lots more about the struggle they had with geeting starded.
    I think you are a more then talented artist with unbelievable good content and a dope ass flow.
    Since Em has dropped "Kamikaze"I believe the Hip Hop and Rap culture has been inflamed and would like to see YOU part of this culture. I think you belong up their with Tech, Kendrik Lamar, Yelawolf, Em....
    I hope this comment reaches you and you get back with Travis and Tech at Strange no matter the differences. Keep your head up and get that hustle on. Best wishes on a awesome carier.
    Best regards,
    Dr.Prof of Hip Hop

      Not a big fans of the new artists.It's really worrying me after Rittz and BLH ended their contract.Now rhymesayers become my favourite label.

      Your trippin Joey cool is nasty and if anything one of the most underrated artists out there. Not as good as some I agree both Jl and ISO are better but dudes definitely earned himself a spot on the strange roster, Has such a chill almost jazzy vibe with a lot of his music. Reminds me a bit of C ray off brainsick I’ve always wanted them to work together more I think they did one song together

      Prozak and Big Scoob are the most underrated artists on Strange
