Hot take… I don’t think releasing albums are a good idea for artists if you don’t have a following yet. I think establishing yourself with singles or EP’s are a better option to build an audience first. What are your thoughts?

Distrokid removed all my music releases from all platforms since I refused to continue paying for a distributor. Moving forward I will only be releasing music directly to people through Bandcamp, SoundCloud, YouTube, and here. This will be an opportunity for a fresh start.

Artists, I don’t care about how many followers/streams you have, your wealth, age, or your physical appearance. These things are fleeting and don’t define your value as an artist. The music, relationships, and the legacy you leave are the only things that last in the end.

I’m really excited about these new studio headphones. Ive always struggled with being slightly off beat when I rap. But, it really helps to be able to hear yourself better when recording vocals. I already notice a difference in one session.
