Spamming your music isn’t promotion or music marketing.

It’s abusing access to strangers online in hopes of manipulating them into becoming fans.

There’s a difference between building genuine connections and forcing your way into people’s attention.

Rappers, don’t let chasing content cost you your creativity.

Thank you @PendulumInk & @MickeyFactz for helping me get my pen back.

Brilliant marketing 😭

TO EVERYONE KEEPS ASKING WHERE MY MUSIC WENT, WHY RANDOM ALBUMS HAVE BEEN TAKEN DOWN AND WHEN IT’S COMING BACK TO DSPS, I WISH THE DISTRIBUTERS WHO REMOVED IT WERE AS INTERESTED IN ANSWERING THAT QUESTION AS YOU ALL ARE ASKING IT.
OVER THE PAST FEW MONTHS DISTRIBUTORS HAVE TAKEN DOWN RECORDS IV'E MADE AND RELEASED YEARS BEFORE AI WAS EVEN AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC. ALL THOSE RECORDS CLEARLY HAVE RELEASE DATES, APPARENTLY THE PEOPLE REVIEWING THEM DON’T CARE OR HAVE THE TIME TO DIFFERENTIATE.
I’VE SPENT COUNTLESS HOURS AND SLEEPLESS NIGHTS WORKING NON-STOP & BUILDING THIS CATALOG AND AT THIS POINT TO MUCH TIME HAS BEEN WASTED MONTHS WAITING FOR ANSWERS. MY LOVE FOR MY MUSIC AND THE RESPECT I HAVE FOR EVERYONE WHO LISTENS AND SUPPORTS DESERVES MORE.
IT’S EXHAUSTING TO HAVE YOUR WORK TAKEN FROM YOU THEN BE EXPECTED TO POLITELY WAIT FOR ACCESS TO IT, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOUR NOT A BIG ARTIST & HAVE TO DEAL WITH THESE COMPANIES GIVING US PENNIES AND ARE STILL GETTING DECIDING WHETHER YOUR MUSIC BELONGS ON THEIR PLATFORMS WHEN WE THE ARTISTS ARE WHAT THEIR BUSINESS IS BUILT ON.
I CAN’T GIVE YOU A DATE FOR WHEN THEY’LL GET BACK TO ME BUT I CAN GIVE YOU SOMEWHERE ELSE TO LISTEN.
BUILT MY OWN DSP.
EVERYTHING I’VE EVER MADE TILL NOW AND ALL FUTURE RELEASES, REMASTERED BY ME IS LIVE NOW. THE APP IS AVAILABLE ON IOS NEW UPDATES, BUILDS & ANDROID VERSION IS COMING SOON.
THANK YOU FOR STILL ASKING WHERE THE MUSIC IS. I INTEND TO KEEP THE ANSWER IN MY OWN HANDS.
JOIN THE DISCORD GET UPDATES AND LATEST VERSIONS OF THE APP BC APPLE TAKES TO LONG TO PUSH UPDATES SINCE SO MANY PEOPLE ARE MAKING APPS.

私の音楽がどこへ行ったのか」「なぜランダムなアルバムが削除されたのか」「いつDSPに戻ってくるのか」と繰り返し尋ねてくださる皆さんへ。削除したディストリビューターたちが、皆さんがその質問を投げかけるのと同じくらい、その答えに興味を持ってくれたらいいのにと思います。
ここ数ヶ月、ディストリビューターたちは、AIが一般に公開される何年も前に私が制作・リリースしたレコードを削除してきました。それらのレコードにはすべて明確なリリース日が記載されていますが、審査担当者はそれを気にも留めていないか、区別する時間すらないようです。
私はこのカタログを構築するために、数え切れないほどの時間と眠れない夜を費やし、休むことなく働き続けてきました。しかし、この時点で、回答を待つために数ヶ月もの時間が無駄に費やされてしまいました。私の音楽への愛、そして私の音楽を聴き、支えてくださるすべての方々への敬意は、それ以上の扱いに値するはずです。
自分の作品を奪われた挙句、その作品へのアクセス権を得るために礼儀正しく待たされるのは、本当に疲れることです。特に、大物アーティストでもないのに、こうした企業からわずかな報酬しか受け取れず、しかも「自分の音楽が彼らのプラットフォームにふさわしいか」という判断をまだ下している最中であるのは、本当に疲れる。私たちアーティストこそが、彼らのビジネスの基盤なのだから。
彼らがいつ返答してくれるか、具体的な日程は言えませんが、代わりに聴ける場所を一つご紹介します。
独自のDSPを構築しました。
これまでに制作したすべての楽曲と、今後リリースされるすべての楽曲（私がリマスターしたバージョン）が、現在公開されています。アプリはiOS版で利用可能で、新しいアップデートやビルドが提供されています。Android版も近日中にリリース予定です。
「音楽はどこにあるの？」と今も尋ねてくれてありがとう。その答えは、今後も私自身が握り続けるつもりです。
Discordに参加して、アプリの最新情報や最新バージョンを入手してください。アプリを作っている人が多すぎて、Appleのアップデート配信には時間がかかりすぎるからです。

We dodged Cutco Knives and their pyramid scheme just to become scheming ass content creators.. Geezus.

The content creation era turned too many artists into sleazy car salesmen.

Instead of building real fkn connections through their music, they’re being taught how to manipulate algorithms, demand urgency, and manipulate people into becoming fans.

[DWAN HWRD 🏁🛠 @DwanHwrd]

People take content creation more seriously than their music.

Content creation is the new rat race.

[DWAN HWRD 🏁🛠 @DwanHwrd]

Correct your why and it will reroute your path.

[DWAN HWRD 🏁🛠 @DwanHwrd]

I meet far too many rappers that don’t particularly love writing or studying the craft more than they love the validation of going viral off catching a vibe.

[DWAN HWRD 🏁🛠 @DwanHwrd]

I meet far too many aspiring producers that don’t truly love ‘sounds’, they love the validation that picking the right or trendy sounds can give them.

[DWAN HWRD 🏁🛠 @DwanHwrd]

The best music in this era will be made by revolutionary artists that are aggressively separated from the herd of content creators.

[DWAN HWRD 🏁🛠 @DwanHwrd]

Would you still do it if nobody saw it?

Absolutely.
