“but now a lot of rappers break through for everything but their rapping ability so asking them to rap isn’t fair cuz they’re not good at rapping even though they’re rappers”
In 2013, Russ was making $48.66 per month from his music.
By 2020, he was posting screenshots of $100k weekly checks from TuneCore.
In 2022, he was so successful he REJECTED a $50M catalog offer.
Here's how Russ built the most profitable independent rap career in history: 🧵
I know pretty much 0 music theory and use my computer keyboard to make all my beats.
sometimes I wish I knew more but I kinda like not havin any clue wtf I’m doing 😂
If you live long enough as a rapper, every new song you drop gets held up next to the best song you ever made. And the more you release, the more distance gets created between you and the work that made people fall in love with you. That distance makes people forget what you’ve given and what you’ve given to the world. That’s the curse of being alive and still creating.
Fact is, I did my part for a lot of friendships / relationships, I’ve bitten the bullet and apologizes, written my wrongs but in the end sometimes they just aren’t meant to be in your life and I just have to move on past that 🤷🏽♀️
