(Everything I do is Organic) most of these new artist buy likes and followers on there social media. Some even buy streams trying to cheat there way in the industry.
K nine9z does all his work himself organically. Not only do you get to keep the overhead cost of the majority of the profit you make. It also defines the person, the hustler, and the true artist you really are. Before i started this journey I cooked for 12 years. I started rapping and writing lyrics at the age of ten. Im 31 years old now, and I never stopped hip hop has been a part of me all my life Im a true MC.
My biggest acomplishments in my career as an independant artist are. Being a part of the coast to coast mixtapes in Brooklyn, being a part of the AC3 festival in ATL. Im on a 30 day rotation at REAL 1100am, Capitol Records artist Big Jigg plugged me with. Im a part of Cassidy’s who got bars mixtape, Which is out now on topmixtapes.com. Im also a part of Vado’s who got next mixtape that is getting ready to drop june 28th. You can also find it on topmixtapes, and datpiff.
I believe in real hip hop. I grew up listening to Nas, Biggie, 2pac, Jadakiss, Styles P, Big Pun, and Big L. These are the legends that inspired me to become an MC. Bars, Metaphors, and story telling drive me to make my music. I want the people listening to my music to feel my pain, and understand the real life situations I have delt with.
What alot of people dont understand. It takes alot of time, and dedication to be an artist. That requires a lot of late nights, traveling, risk taking , and a lot of brainstorming and strategizing on how to generate different incomes. Another thing a lot of people dont know, or forget about is the music industry is 90 percent business and 10 percent music. Which means you need to spend money in order to make it.
My goals five years from now. Is to be on all the music channels, and radio stations in the country, gain millions of fans loving, and supporting my music, and save enough money to start my own label. I have two kids i need to support. I wake up and get to work at the crack of dawn everyday, because i dont want my kids to struggle like i did. My family is my motivation and there the reason why i go so hard im hungry.

Kanye West Joins Chicago Ceremony Honoring His Mother With Dr. Donda West Way

Kanye West was in Chicago for a street naming ceremony honoring his late mother, Dr. Donda West, and celebrating her lasting contributions to the city, her impact on education and the arts, and her influence on her son’s life.

A portion of 78th Street bears the official designation of Dr. Donda West Way, an appropriate tribute to a woman whose legacy remains deeply entangled with Chicago. Local news covered the ceremony, attended by community leaders, and Ye could be seen clapping in the background, wearing shades, as the new street sign was unveiled.

The event celebrated Donda West’s accomplishments and her impact on the people in her life. It was also a moment of profound personal significance for Kanye. His mother played a large part in building his confidence and supporting his musical ambitions, leading him down the path that would ultimately make him one of the most recognizable artists in music.

West had already paid tribute to his mother in his 2021 album Donda. The project took 10 years to complete, the amount of time it took Ye to process her tragic passing. Donda’s voice is present throughout the album, adding another personal element to a project centered on her memory and legacy.

The Chicago ceremony falls during a busy time for West. The artist is on a world tour and played a couple of shows in Chicago just a few weeks ago. Despite the ongoing controversy about his recent past and public reception, his repeated returns to the stage have underscored the enduring size of his audience.

Currently, the unveiling of Dr. Donda West Way is not about music but about celebrating Donda West’s life and accomplishments and the impact she continues to have through the legacy she left behind.

DJ Akademiks Opens the Door to Pusha T Amidst Drake Controversy

DJ Akademiks seems to be changing his tune on Pusha T after the leak of the rapper’s alleged album with Pharrell, though the project reportedly includes several direct shots at Drake.

The reaction is notable as Akademiks and Pusha T have been on completely unique sides of the long-running Drake-Pusha T divide. Pusha T’s infamous beef with Drake reached a major milestone in 2018 with the release of “The Story of Adidon.” Akademiks has an OVO chain and has been a big supporter of Drake, which makes his latest comments about Pusha T even more shocking.

The two have had their differences, though they have never gone back and forth publicly over the years. Akademiks, however, responded to the leaked project with a more sympathetic view of Pusha T’s position. Akademiks didn’t just point out the rapper’s continued Drake references; he also recognized that Drake has been beefing with Pusha T and Pharrell over the last few years.

Things got spicy when Akademiks reminded him that Pusha T has liked a couple of his posts before. That detail apparently has Akademiks considering reaching out directly to talk with Pusha T.

Does Pusha T even want that kind of conversation? Still, Akademiks’ comments imply that he believes there’s room for a more productive discourse between two personalities who have historically been on opposite sides of the Drake-Pusha T feud.

For now, the leaked album has provided an unexpected opening for dialogue. Akademiks’ openness to Pusha T’s side, even with his clear ties to Drake, shifts the conversation away from taking sides and toward whether a direct conversation could actually happen.
