There is a level of power & growth that comes from confidence in uncertainty.
Literally nothing can bring you down because you trust yourself to be able to handle every situation that comes your way.

[POLAR @polarpondis]

dear artiste, your fans deserve a rollout.
don’t be lazy, do it.

[Doves @Dovesish]

everything is happening exactly the way it should.

I’ve chosen to live in it, experience it, take advantage of it and above all, trust myself.

[Doves @Dovesish]

Basically, become an Artist fans feel like they *know*.

We all subconsciously latch onto the artist's *persona* or "character" first (their story, vibe & personality).
Build that character, and the music will stick better.

[SKIDDYXY🎹🎛🔋🔋 @Skiddybeatzz]

You keep trying to build a fanbase through music alone while ignoring the fact that humans psychologically attach to CHARACTERS first.

The real unsung heroes are mixing engineers

[MAKINDE @solomonthygreat]

Great artists don't chase trends; they create the pocket that the next trend will live in. Focus on identity over replication.

[Nelsun @Adapioyi]

That 100M that requires consistently investing 100k monthly for at least 8years in the Money market, is what some Artistes and their managers waste within 1year on unreasonable marketing, promotion and branding to push music that has no value to the music market.

[Doves @Dovesish]

The mainstream is over.
Become a superstar within your niche and really own that community.

[Z @BrianZisook]

Every artist with an engaged audience on this platform should host an AMA (ask me anything) post-album release.

- it costs nothing but your time
- it provides added context
- it shows fans you see them
- it invites casuals to lean in
- it creates aggregation opportunities

Drake is bad news for record labels, and might soon be k*lled because he’s trying to escape the system 💔

[Mario Nawfal @MarioNawfal]

What is Drake signaling? The MJ glove, the talk of independence, the three-album power move.

He's invoking the two biggest artists who took on the labels.

Michael and Prince. Neither one made it out alive.

Drake might be powerful. Is he that powerful?

[We$t @flygodT]

Nothing beats a cultural co-sign for a clothing brand. It’s one of the reasons I feel brand owners should have artist friends and support them. They can immortalize your brand through their music.

[chef dee @chefdeemusic]

how are you a manager with a bigger ego than your artist? lmao remember who the star of the show is

[Fimi @fimiwiththeflow]

Artists can relate this this 😁

[Z @BrianZisook]

The goal shouldn’t be to scale to “mainstream” because the mainstream is over. It’s done. Instead, focus on becoming a superstar within your niche and really own that community.

[Doves @Dovesish]

I don’t want a freak bih, I just want her

[Doves @Dovesish]

313 eleganto ‘mommies’ are the literally the baddest & most confident women to walk this earth imo

[streetsouk @streetsouk]

Unilag, you are taking it there!

[streetsouk @streetsouk]

Unilag, you are taking it there!

[Joey @gothamhiphop]

So Iceman is the rapping rapping album, Habibti is the R&B album, and Maid of Honour is the International/Club songs album. Is that right?

Drake disses A$AP Rocky and Rihanna on ‘ICEMAN’

“Flacko and Fring both tied the knot but still tied up on me. I might have to send out custody checks cause that baby looks more like me.”

“Tied the knot, but the knot seems to be slipping these days. Yelling at him in that sprinter for flirting with girls, caught up in his old ways.”

“Bragging about hitting my BM first is the only time you’ll hear him spit a verse. He’d rather be spitting game to anyone other than his BM. He only bagged her for that Fendi purse.”
