    @tobilou also did something similar with his app. Having projects meant for streaming then having some dedicated for his app for fans to buy

    yeah i did this in 2023. i put 1 minute snippets of each song on streaming and made the full version available only on my app.

  • What did these people think Bandcamp was?

  • Going the Cole route, straight out the trunk again

  • Why do you think Summrs and Autumn had those big ass houses without being on a label?

  • Shout out to him for being this transparent about everything. Most rappers would never be this real about things.

    Very hopeful to hear. Brother did 1500 pure copies first week direct to his bank with $20 an album. You do the arithmetic

    i wrote an a***ysis report on this a couple years ago. napster robbed the music industry of value and things have only gotten worse with streaming. the only consistent way to maintain monetary value in this industry is to convince folks to buy your stuff

    u post that on here? would love to read that

    nah it was for a final project in my stats course and idk what i can post from it without doxxing myself but my ultimate point was that the music industry has lost a tremendous amount of momentum and valuation in the internet age and the only way to move forward with momentum and valuation in the tiktok/streaming era is to sell albums directly to the consumer (taylor swift, radiohead with in rainbows, bandcamp, etc)

    A lot of people found the value by making rap a starting point. A million little Jay Zs
