    Internet marketers vs. producers. 99% of these you won't see your favorite producers doing.

      if being an internet marketer is the cost i have to pay to be able to make music every day as my job im doing it every time, of course i want to be on some metro boomin shit but at this point in my life that's not realistic for me! but hey, it's not for everyone, everyone has their own path man! There's no right answer, just tryna help

      @@SKEEBOFFICIAL7 you're spot on. Many of the OGs were grinding before all these new-age tactics even became a thing. Music’s about expression, not just promotion. While getting the word out is important, diving deep into the craft, the philosophy behind the beats-that's where the real magic lies. We're creatives first, always should be. 💯

I'm 35 and have noticed how fickle and deceptive most of these younger rappers are these days.
