Take You Back on the radio independently

I’m just tryna keep showing my fellow artists that you don’t need a label for shit. They are just banks with shitty interest rates on their loans (advances). Boss up https://t.co/HPlEtBaTEz

30-50k to impact

Is that a lot of money ? Yes

Are labels spending YOUR money to do that anyway? Yes

Is this feasible for up and coming indie artists? Most likely not if you don’t have a catalogue + fans

Feasible for established artists who think they need a label? Yes 100% https://t.co/e0pefo7tE4
