Yesterday, Laycon's EP wasn't on the Apple Music charts at all.
This morning, it's the number 3 album in the country on there.
If this isn't wild impact, I don't know what is.

Read the first line of your Twitter bio, sir. 😆😆😆
And I wonder why you people are so pressed about awards. What does it validate? You made money, you gathered fans. You made winning art. You impacted lives. You are comfortable!
Why do you need to also feed your ego? How does it benefit you? What does it really do for you?

What's the most ridiculous question the police/SARS have ever asked you?
Mine:
• Who are you?
• Where do you work?
• What do you do there?
• Who is the owner of the company?
• How much is your salary?
• Where are your parents?
• How old are you?

I worry about the scores of creatives that are freelancers or self-employed.
It's clear the police don't understand that you can legally earn a living without wearing a suit & tie. We can't keep getting harrassed for pursuing the creative path.

Also, we need more non-creative talent in the creative industry. Badass executors. Exec. Assistants, Operations Leads, Heads of Strategy/Business, Admin people etc.

So apparently, Jay Z practically auditioned to sign Jay Electronica by sending him a verse for "Shiny Suit Theory" in e-mail. Wild.
