[@Screech032]

@@kcailly1 Not if he made most of the beats himself bro... He did well.

[@yannikkissa9419]

@@kcailly1 true, need to calculate costs. But since he made most beats himself, probably without clearing much (maybe a couple k)... Since he hasn't put out very expensive videos (maybe another couple k). Something for the engineers, something for the dude who made the cover... Idk, but think together this will be something like 15k? Plus costs for pressing, maybe 9dollar per vinyl (45k). Don't know how much the person takes that runs the shop and brings stuff to the post. I also don't know about a mangement and taxes. I guess, he might have a bit more than 50k of it.

[@jspears19]

Roc and Doom different Roc songs sound like movies from a NY perspective. More Mafioso paying homage but elevating the rhymes at the same time. Which should be for every artist def in hip hop. Can’t have stagnation that’s how things die.
