If you don’t listen to Deante’ Hitchcock, I feel like you should change that in the near future.

Idk man Deante Hitchcock might be the best rapper in Atlanta right now

My advice to every artist is finish your album before you start to roll it out. Mix, master and vinyl if applicable. Give your fans the best experience you can with the resources that you can control. And most importantly, give yourself enough time to plan.

If you’re making music to impress other artists, you’re not making music for the people who actually stream it. Real listeners don’t care about technical analysis. They care about “did this song just express what I feel?” Make THAT record.

If you are a true independent, you should not be trying to “compete” with signed artists. You’re playing a different game, with different rules.

"emotional maturity" is just how long you can sit with a Feeling without converting it into a Story

“Ain’t no pride where I lay my heart at”

my life changed the moment an old mentor told me this: “stopping your worst habit would change your life way faster than starting your best habit… fix the leak before filling the bucket.”

Most artists never turn their talent into income because they refuse to build a system around it

Do you really understand that you’re never going to happen again in the history of the universe?

“Music is subjective” is the most overused excuse. Taste is subjective, skill isn’t. Breath control. Structure. Timing. Writing. Delivery. Those are disciplines, you either develop them or not. Like what you like…just stop pretending everything deserves the same respect.

atl: what high school u went to

you do not build a cult fanbase by being for everyone build it by being so specifically yourself that the right people feel like they finally found something made for them

Eventually, you will accept that you carry contradictions. You can be grateful and dissatisfied at the same time. Hopeful and cautious. Capable and tired. Good and bad to different or even the same people. Life has no default settings.

I don’t know how many times it needs to be said, but the marketing plan for a single/project cannot come before the music itself is created. Do you want your team to build a world? Or do you want them to give you generic plug and play ideas? You can’t build a world without MUSIC!

Olivia Dean is amazing.

I completely understand why the Hawks moved off of Trae Young, but this game and series shows exactly why they needed Trae Young.
