As a music producer, this music thing gets tricky at times, so you have to make it work for you. Your fans are most important to keep you going. To have longevity, you have to sound different, take different approaches, show your face, do content, drop kits, stay consistent, etc.
Its not all just about selling beats and getting placements. Sometimes you gotta engineer, make voice tags for other producers, put our your own album with yourself or collab projects, build artist, open studios, move to a different state etc. Step out of your comfort zone and take sacrifices.
Lots of producers give up and or fail (even the ones with plaques). Sometimes you gotta do everything that comes around making beats. Theres nothing wrong with being a one stop shop. We always blame the artists and labels, but you have to treat yourself like an artist also.
@iwannac_urboobs Whoa ! Pump your brakes. Black rice and griot is the truth. It’s just not as commercialized as Jamaican food. Let’s not get crazy on the internet.
