You can literally blow up OVERNIGHT. Be broke today and wealthy tomorrow. Zero clients today & 50 clients next week. Slept on today and tomorrow be in high demand! Account negative today and positive $10,000 tomorrow. This is your season. Have faith & apply yourself.
I run my own ads, I submit to 100s of playlists, I pitch to tons of blogs, I send my music to every single contact in my phone. I go around my city with flyers too. Everybody that knows me see how hard I PROMOTE my music. I go the extra mile for this shit cus I know my potential!

HHH is not perfect, no booker gets it right every single time. But things like this are why HHH is doing his job better than Vince may have ever done it tbh.

Melo needed that spot bro, let’s not play crazy. Randy could never be 23’ Cena. Cena was a shell of himself let’s be real. Orton is in his second ot third prime now
Only reason I’m posting this is to say how much I appreciate everybody that listens to my music AND to motivate my fellow independent artists. This shit ain’t easy but it’s possible for all of y’all to reach even higher heights than this. Next year we going up even more🤞🏾🖤
If you a young independent artist promote yourself/your music/your brand everyday. TikTok, tweet, post on IG, I don’t care if you go around the mall in your city asking people to subscribe to your YouTube channel (I seen somebody do this and get 1000s of subscribers) JUST PROMOTE
This is for all business owners & artist of any variety:
REMEMBER you are literally always ONE sell, ONE listen, ONE meeting away from taking off in whatever field your career is in. All it takes is ONE moment to change the course of your career & life forever.
2 Albums 3 EPs 3 Singles & 8 Features all in 2023! Last year was the best year I’ve had musically & 2024 is gonna be even greater💯 Got a few projects in the safe and a bunch of first time collabs in the works🐲
Just throwing money at yo music ain’t gone make you blow up. You gotta really have a game plan when you spending money on marketing yourself. That goes for any business.
Been performing my whole life & I still get butterflies before I perform because I get so excited about sharing my art💯. 5am Full Live Performance Dropping On My Youtube Channel Next Week🤞🏾
“If I’m the Joker then she Harley Quinn in the flesh, little bipolar but so am I so when I say that it’s just to deflect”
Smoove Criminal (Live) on YouTube
I always watch my performances back & critique myself to find ways to get better at this part of my artistry. Crowd Control is a huge part of actually putting on a SHOW & I knew it was an element I was missing in my performances.
“Could care less about making ya top 10, cus tell me who droppin, such quantity & still deliver quality?

While I love that social media gives us the ability to reach people all across the world without leaving home, EVERY up and coming artist still needs to be hitting the stage for showcases, open mic nights, or whatever. Get those reps in and network with people in your community.

was my first release of the year🐲🔥 some of my best work💯 If you haven’t checked it out yet, or if you haven’t in a while go spin one of the best hip hop albums of 2023🗣️
Listen Here:
I know everybody been complaining about the Spotify payout requirements, crazy thing is I applied for an
@even_biz
account about a month before that info came out. As artist, we should be pushing people to buy our art directly from us instead of depending on streaming platforms.
No label, no team. Just me and alotta hard work and dedication. When I post my numbers I post it as motivation for every other independent artist. If I can do it, YOU CAN TOO💯 Stay focused, lock in with some dope producers/artists and make magic!

my first EP of 2023🎭 Started off my series of 3 packs with some timeless vibes, me and Ryllo got more otw for y’all in 2024 🎟️🎬
One of my main goals this year was to drop more music videos/visualizers & not even 6 months into 2024 I already dropped 6 of my best visuals 🔥 So here’s a thread 🧵
ARTISTS!! Quote this with something you made this year that you wish got more attention or something you really liked that you thought flew under the radar!
Accomplished so many milestones in the last week🏆 I’m truly blessed🙏🏾
5yrs of growth & progress, and I ain’t nowhere near finished! First Milli on Apple Music coming next year fsho ✅
November of last year I made it a goal of mine to perform at least once a month for the next year. Wether it’s a showcase, an open mic night, or when I get my first headlining show this year, I’m taking every opportunity to perfect my craft as a performer.
