IT’S BUSINESS FIRST. Learn to put your emotions aside because you can burn bridges, sacrifice relationships, secure an advance for an artist with undeserving numbers, forego your finder's fee, break your back and many more and talents will tell you, 'YOU'RE JUST DOING YOUR JOB.'

[James @MrSoundHive]

@timiboyd E sweet for mouth lol

[James @MrSoundHive]

My guy, talk am for pidgin maybe I fit understand

[Don't Curse Kids @h_td_m]

And strategy if you not pressed to say you the first person to sign out your scene which would be a lie either way

['Timi Kevin Asaju 🪢 @TheKevinAsaju]

We’re long past the era where an artist can goes on press run, blame a label or manager, and expect public sympathy.
Most situations are far more nuanced than the TL wants to admit.
I know music, and I understand that music and the music business are two very different things.

Dear @grok help me play Burna Boy’s I Told Them LP 🥹

[James @MrSoundHive]

Suicide is actually an option. Suicide is better than doing despicable shit for money.

[blue @bluewmist]

To all men who survived rock bottom, what’s one piece of advice would you give a man who feels like giving up right now

[James @MrSoundHive]

@TheKevinAsaju $10k go come with 10 albums obligation

[James @MrSoundHive]

Lmao there’s no $100k anywhere for anybody right now

['Timi Kevin Asaju 🪢 @TheKevinAsaju]

Label this, label that. Real question: how many of you would put $100k into a stranger and bet on their success?

[James @MrSoundHive]

@Lucile_Kris Like mad. Everywhere that’s 5m and below floods.

[James @MrSoundHive]

Lmao if I see 5m rent I go rush am.

[Lulu🧡 @Lucile_Kris]

The fact that some people are paying as high as 5M naira as rent in Lekki makes no sense to me.

Is that even normal and allowed?

[James @MrSoundHive]

[Psychosis 💀 @Cindy_Ihua]

It’s why someone can belittle your investment. Because they feel their talent alone drives financial decisions.

[James @MrSoundHive]

@jmthiphop Exactly

[James @MrSoundHive]

Stop looking at record labels as benevolent helpers. They are businesses.

[Jola @Jollz]

Stans and teams do their artist a big disservice when they condescend to the Nigerian audience. Your artist is really not THAT unique, my dear. Keep grinding.

[James @MrSoundHive]

@MarinatedTurks He definitely is. Also has the facilities to facilitate pampering

[James @MrSoundHive]
