CashMoneyAP Talks About His Come Up, The Future of Selling Beats Online, Signing a Pub Deal + More

CashMoneyAP Interview on the Producergrind Podcast. We linked up with CashMoneyAP out in LA for his longest music producer interview yet. We talked a whole lot about his come up story and how he found success in selling beats online. He basically went from giving away free CashMoneyAP beats on youtube living on a small island to becoming one of the most successful type beat producers ever and moving to LA to jump into the music industry and getting placements more frequently. You know we had to ask about him signing producers to CashGang including YoungKio. We talked about the future of selling beats online and even brought up the legion beats producer funnel talk again. CashMoneyAP also talks about publishing deals for producers and how he was able to sign a deal off of the strength of his producer brand without having any really big placements.
