I wonder if anyone will notice I accidentally had autotune on this whole video lol

[@deadrituals]

Now that you mentioned I can hear aha - still awesome

[@asibonge.sigudu]

i Had that you sounded werid

[@calebitilley]

Toward the beginning you said something and I was like, was that auto tune? Then I saw this comment and couldn’t unhear it 😅

[@TanoshiSan]

At 0:36 the "noooooooo" 😂

[@n-spired]

Dilla like every year. 😅

[@ChillAstronaut]

Congrats on another successful year L.Dre!🥳 I also wanted to say thanks for being one of my main source of inspiration, last year I started putting out beats on a weekly basis and gained 470K streams; and in this year's Wrapped I got 6 million so yeah, your story about how you grinded hard (in your garage) and eventually made it (bought your own house) really is a motivating one!✌ Wishing you the best, and keep producing awesome music!

[@LDreTheGiant]

That’s amazing congrats !!!

[@RHY9beats]

This is my 1st year,i didn't get that much but i got 21 hours of listening, that's something good for me

[@TossedOnion]

This is always the problem, the brand awareness and business side of music. It’s tough but we gotta stick to it and learn. 😅 Congratulations on another successful year man! 🎉

[@artcowles]

Love the videos man. You're seriously a big inspiration to me so thanks for all of the wisdom and advice.

[@alexsatri_]

Congratulations Dre! Its nice to follow your journey and see your results, really inspiring in many ways! I come from another genre, but you still always deliver value, so that’s amazing, keep it up being you man!!! Thanks

[@peakrays]

So glad to see you doing well brother! We all appreciate you sharing these gems with us and inspiring the independent artist community. I'll be looking forward to what you do next!

[@AikiraBeats]

Watching your videos this year and last year has been super helpful. I finally started to see revenue from my streams these last few months. Even though it's only a little bit, the fact that people are taking their time to listen to my music is all I can ask for. So, thank you for doing what you do.

[@4sbeats]

As a lofi artist who started putting music out early this year, I had 24k streams. I wanna say thank you because you was the one who I learned making lofi beats from. Congrats on your success, thank you for putting me on this genre. ✌

[@leonelnotmessi]

[@beatsbykana]

because of you inspiring me, I dropped my first project in October, and I'm almost at a 1000 monthly listeners already. Already working on the next one! Thanks man!

Greetings L.Dre. Just wanted to let you know, you are doing a great job. You are appreciated! Oh, and I am a fan. I am learning a lot from you on my way up. You are an inspiration, thank you.

[@BlackUniverseBeats]

Great work l.dre. you definitely motivated me with this video

[@TanoshiSan]

Such an inspiration 🙏

[@happycry8112]

I don't use Spotify haha, but I got like 2880 scrobbles of your music on lastfm and your were my most listened artist, just wanna say thank u, this year I finally started putting my beats on streaming and all that was because of you and your content, happy holidays bro

So wonderful 🤩

[@hleet]

Nice advices !

[@DreamCatcherFury]

Thank you for the inspiration you give, it really helps to gather my thoughts and start releasing my music already. For a long time I suffer with this problem, I often have a fear of failure. But an even bigger problem is that I write different music, I decided to create several projects with different names for different genres. I want to come back to this video in a year and answer under this comment whether I succeeded or not.

[@LDreTheGiant]

I wish you nothing but success!! 🙏🏾

[@andaninethengwe4595]

Thanks for the advice 😭

[@korniceman3000]

Congratulations :D!!! Well deserved!! Always appreciate your insight and advice!! I'm guessing there is no way to pitch your music to spotify in advance if you have the basic version of distrokid??

[@LDreTheGiant]

Yes you’d need to upgrade to set out your release date but it’s worth it

I feel bad rn. I’ve come across some your videos but i always forget to stream you stuffss. I use Apple Music though, it should still count 😊

[@lofialumni]

I am just beginning to post to Spotify and I had a question. In your experience is it better to release singles or albums?

[@beatsbyrayslapps8507]

Dope wrap up video. Hey I have a question. I just started releasing my Lofi last month and I am looking to get it on playlists. While I was looking for playlists I saw where I could submit it straight to Lofi labels for them to release. If you do this, do they own it and do they pay you for the song in like a lump sum? Anyway how does that work in the Lofi community

[@LDreTheGiant]

They pretty much own a percentage and pay you a few times a year when money comes in

[@novarobotslofi6596]

I really need to start submitting to those editorials lol.

[@badliarmusic]

My top artist this year was Illenium!

[@leroifox]

@LDreTheGiant > Yeah, I've heard that 3-4 weeks in advance is the way to go for getting on playlists. Do you have a check list of things you do when you release each track? Would love to know.

[@LDreTheGiant]

Not really but I should make one lol I often even forget that I have songs coming out sometimes 😂

[@bicho5925]

INSPIRING!!!!!!!!!!!

[@FeistySavage1]

🇳🇬 Nigeria streaming we love your sound ❤

[@dma917]

at 6:15 when you say to add a new song every 3 weeks, do you basically upload the song to your distributor and select a release date at least 3 weeks out? thanks

[@zay3843]

My top artists this year were: 1. The Weeknd 2. Lana Del Rey 3. Drake 4. Kanye West 5. ASAP Rocky Congrats brother.🥂

Drake

[@anythingspossiblemusic]

I look at the relationship between streams and Listener's. Your ratio of above seven still seems very high. Almost a bit fake but well done anyway.

[@notsogood9449]

Let's look at L. Dre"s Spotify numbers... L. Dre's Spotify streams in 2022 - 44,000,000 streams = $176,000 L. Dre's Spotify streams in 2021- 64,000,000 streams = $260,000 L. Dre's last 2 years Spotify streaming total -108,000,000 streams = $432,000 He had 21,000,000 less streams on Spotify this year compared to last year. 21,000,000 streams = $84,000

[@anderskrjberg3282]

Im so confused, isn’t all of your music just rip offs of other songs?! That’s a trash way to do music my guy

[@miriamaleecemusic]

So what do you think is the best way to get onto a playlist? I’ve googled some promo sites and placed my songs in music promo playlists on FB but I haven’t paid for it yet because idk which sites or “promoters” are legit or not. I’ve also been posting it on my IG tik tok and now Twitter. Any advice?

[@MusicByKMR624]

Hey thanks for sharing bruh

[@deardanidaniela]

I just found you - your music is soooo everything - do you sell any beats to people by chance? @L.Dre
