This is the reason why I’ve always urged artists to avoid releasing around the holidays. If you need something, or something goes wrong or requires attention, nobody is available to help. SZA is a superstar and her label (Sony, not TDE) told her to wait another week.
K-Trap has reached GOAT status idc, he’s always been a king in the streets and of drill but there’s a reason he’s my favourite artist.
He’s the COLDEST
Don't burn bridges. The music industry is quite small, and connections and relationships are paramount; maintaining a positive reputation can open doors to opportunities and collaborations that might otherwise be inaccessible.
I’ve asked thousands of artists this question over the past two decades and I almost always hear the same answer:
The ability to earn enough income solely through music to support their livelihood without needing an additional job outside of music.
And the winner of our 2024 Emerging Talent Competition is… the fantastic @JayaHadADream, who wins a slot on one of the main stages at this year’s Glastonbury and a £5000 @PRSFoundation talent development prize. 👏 👏 👏
