every day i'm realizing more and more just how many people aren't enlightened. no morals, no principles, no code of ethics, just doing whatever with whoever and expecting their life to miraculously get better one day.
imma for sure look back on 2023 and smile cause this is the year i realized nothing can break me and im going to walk in my purpose by any means necessary.
Being more self aware and understanding means you have deal with being right in the moment but misunderstood a lot and people not realizing it until significant time later when they go through their own personal growth.
KEY! gonna go down as one of the most prominent curators/influences of the 2010s fr. Two9, OG Maco, 21 Savage, Father, ILoveMakonnen, Man Man Savage, Post Malone and more came to relevance through his pipeline.
How is Justin Bieber ownership portion of just his catalog worth upwards to 200 million but QC’s ENTIRE LABEL and catalog only worth 300 million? Who’s setting these prices and who determining these values because something isn’t adding up….fr.
if you're great and you're around people who don't understand that you're great......go be great elsewhere. don't waste your time trying to convince anyone of anything fr.
One thing about Wiz Khalifa is he established a REAL fan base and a very solid catalog, he doesn't have to do the tactics of an artist that is trying to break/maintain. He and his children could eat great off See You Again and Black and Yellow alone if the backend is right.
i read Porter magazine's Jorja Smith interview and found it really interesting how she discussed moving back to her hometown and starting a girls youth choir, her new music coming from her heart instead of her imagination and how she deals with fame and the scrutiny it brings.
I like to listen to songs after their viral moment has passed to decide if I actually like em or not …..and Bad Habit by Steve Lacy is really fucking good. 😭

Boston is a small city yet we're a global contributor to literally everything (healthcare, tech, education, media, sports, progressive politics, etc)....stop playing with us fr.
I don’t think most people are inherently malicious or intentionally fucked up, I just think most are unintentional in the way they move and don’t understand the weight and domino effect of their actions….no matter how big or small.
An artist you should know: Boston rap rockstar CAEV. 📀 CAEV uses a mixture of vulnerability, raw energy and
pure charisma to plunge you into a world unseen to the
typical eye. every record CAEV puts out can be perceived as a performance art piece about love, drugs, fun & pain.
a lot of people are not going to get what they truly want out of life simply because they don't know how to communicate properly and then when their terrible communication causes consequences, they blame everyone and everything else....it's a vicious cycle fr.
I got nominated for artist manager of year at the Boston Music Awards in the category's inaugural year 🫡🏆 Shoutout to all the other nominees and much love to
@BMAs_Boston
. Let's get it!!!
Firm believer on there’s no rush to what’s timeless. We gonna be on top forever once we get there, let’s enjoy the view and process of making it happen. 🏆
An artist you should know: Boston's teflon hoot BoriRock. 📀 One of the most consistent and arguably coolest rappers in New England. Bori oozes personality and authenticity while treating rap like a sport with an 82 game season. 16 projects in 3 yrs with no signs of slowing down.
throwing a symposium on the new age of hip hop at Harvard University on March 30th, 2024. Featuring industry vets in business & legal, media and A&R, a talent showcase and a discussion with a world renowned artist. it's open to all and FREE w/RSVP.
Greatness really takes time. Being in a rush only gonna make you trip and miss the steps you need to take to have the wisdom you’ll need down the line fr.
Mass don't got a mt.rushmore in rap yet, in my opinion. no rapper has done enough/put enough people on. 10 more years and we'll see what's up though, for sure!
An artist you should know: Boston genre bender Haasan Barclay. 📀 There's no artistic box you can put this producer, guitarist & vocalist in. From his production to Camp Blood to his solo work, Haasan stretches the boundary of your imagination with the sonic portraits he paints.
Rappers, y'all need to listen to what Vince Staples is saying here. If you giving up more than 50 percent of the pub or 50 percent of the master to a producer as the songwriter and recording artist, you're getting screwed fr.
leadership comes with a lot of pain. If you want the glory without the pain, you signing up for the wrong role. The pain is inevitable, the glory is an anomaly.
i been trying to tell niggas atlanta is the home of fraudulent activity, shit LOOKS good but dive deeper and there's a lot of soulless weird shit going on.
you don't gotta be in motion all the time once you get real motion, you can be patient and let things come to fruition and that's when the real shit starts to happen.
