SubmitHub be like “wow incredible writing really dig the lyrics and the production is new, fun and interesting. Really great job on this one but fuck you we’re not putting it on our playlist”
Artists should approach posting content like a hitter in baseball. The good ones hit .300. They fail 70% of the time. But those “failures” can still be productive. You can drive in a run with an out. You can move a runner over with an out. Change your perspective 🙏
Ya know
@MacMiller
hardly ever ends up on a top 5 list but when you ask people about his death they tear up and get emotional. The definition of a true artist. It’s more than the numbers
Listen Spotify isn’t paying artists anything. It’s fucked up. But for those of us who aren’t fabricating the numbers, these yearly wraps do mean something. A lot of times you don’t know who’s listening. The journey feels hopeless. Just seeing some growth goes a long way 🤷🏼♂️
I just wanna work with people who wanna work with me. It’s not about clout all the time, it’s about the art. And turning the art into something people value 🤞
It’s only in telling the stories we’re afraid to tell, that we can truly be free. Storytelling has always been at the heart of hiphop & I intend to keep it that way.
This dude just said “talk to God he won’t screenshot it” and I replied with “that’s a bar” but he had no idea what that meant at all so he said “I don’t drink” 😂😂😂
Your soul is filled with a multiverse of you's. What if you could look at all the different possibilities? Is there a path better than the rest?
Would you conform? …or elsewhere
Should I just become an actor?
I keep getting casted in roles without even trying. I been pushing music for a long time but I can assure you…nothing was ever this easy with my music.
CALLING ALL PRODUCERS/RAPPERS! If you’re interested in working on The Cypher Tape comment below. I’ll be posting the acapellas soon. Message me with any questions. Stay Moody 🤞
CALLING ALL RAPPERS: The beats for The Cypher Tape have been selected. I’m sending out an email today to everyone who wants to submit a verse for the tape. If you haven’t sent me your email, now is the time 🤞
Much love to all the producers who submitted, some tough choices.
Just hit 10K on IG. I know followers don’t equate to fans & I’m not a big numbers guy myself but I’m really trying to build this thing organically. No bots. So it really means a lot to reach a spot like this. Feeling grateful 🙏
Is it weird that I won’t listen to my released music? Like once it’s out I’m like nahh that’s the world’s song now it’s not my baby no more. Is that nuts?
Low key this has been one of the most difficult years of my life. But you learn a lot thru hardship. I really learned who loves me and who was there for me. I know exactly who I’m leaving behind when the tables turn. What a blessing 🙏
I find it so interesting how Mac Miller’s career has aged. My friend asked me who’s better today, Eminem or Mac? I said Mac. 6 years ago it woulda been different but I listen to Mac every week. Swimming has such an important place in my life. I love both but who you got?
I just got pulled over for texting and the cop recognized me as nikmoody. Didn’t give me a ticket. Refer to this tweet the next time I’m self deprecating 😂
Note to self,
Stop neglecting BTS content because it doesn’t do well on social media.
I get it, it’s not gonna go viral
but if one person likes it
chances are they really like it
& that one real fan is worth more than 100 of the bullshit 🔥 emojis you get clout chasing
Lot of people don’t realize the work that goes into this. I did 100+ showcases in 2018. Did an east coast tour in 2019. Toured the UK & Finland in 2022. All while dropping music and working a full time job
#thecyphertape
isn’t just people I met online. It came from the work
I really been living that starving artist life lately but just when I needed it most I get an email that I made a good chunk of money from my music this month. Universe working overtime 🙏
50 rappers & 14 producers from all over the world. The Cypher Tape drops September 27th 🤞
What a way to celebrate

I love when
@Eminem
haters totally negate his impact. As if the term Stan didn’t originate from a song he wrote. That’s only one instance. The man has moved the needle in a myriad of ways.
The followers haven’t gone up. The views are about the same. No one has given us a major co-sign. But somehow it feels like we’re setting ourselves apart. Quality > Quantity 🤞
Opened up my Venmo scared today. Didn’t think I had enough to pay for my haircut. Little did I know our first investor in the film sent their money through. Still can’t believe it 🙏
Social media is such a mirage man. When I’m down on here I’m up in real life and vice versa. This shit is a game. Don’t let it get to you. Keep pushing 🤞
FYI: I’m in debt cuz I took out a loan to make this movie. Don’t get snippy with me cuz I’m not afraid to take risks. I love this shit bro. I live and breathe it.
Numbers don’t tell the full story but growth is cool. It’s powerful. Especially for someone like me. People didn’t wanna hear my music when I first started. They shut me out. They laughed at me. But respect is earned. We keep going. We keep getting closer, time to level up 🤞
I’ve lost a lot of people in my life that truly believed in me as an artist. It was because of them that I started this pursuit and it’s their guidance that I keep chasing this dream. I know they’re watching over me 🙏
I feel like I’ve struggled for a while now, I ate shit, I failed, I sacrificed. I’ve done everything I can do. It’s time for the tables to turn. A break is coming. I can feel it 🤞
there’s a lot of talent out here but be honest with me…
who out here actually building communities and creating a platform for the underground? put me on 👀✍️
Lyricism is still alive. People still resonate with real thoughts & concepts. It’s more than just bars and flow. If you come from a real place, someone will always connect.
I still have family who disrespect me for serving tables & completely avoid acknowledging what I do as an artist. They just laugh & say “moody” in a patronizing tone. It used to really get under my skin. Still does tbh
I think I just got tired of the people close to me acting like they have my back when they were only looking out for themselves. I get it, it’s an opportunist’s industry but don’t tell me we family and only feed yourself…
