Independent Living - The Funk Volume Documentary

This feature-length documentary captures the swift rise of hip hop record label Funk Volume during their Funk Volume 2012 tour in which rappers Hopsin, Dizzy Wright, Jarren Benton, and SwizZz and label co-founder Damien Ritter toured 44 cities in 50 dates. For the first time, Funk Volume pulls back the curtain on the philosophy, non-traditional tactics and challenges they've embraced to become one of the most successful independent labels today clocking in over 1.6 billion KZbin views, 1.9 million Facebook Likes, regularly charting in the Top 10 in Billboard and on iTunes, and earning press hits from media outlets such as Forbes, Billboard, SPIN, and more.
For fans of the artists, this well photographed movie will provide an intimate look at their lives but even those unfamiliar will be drawn into the underlying story of witnessing these artists at a crucial transition phase as they become more comfortable with the pros and cons of stepping further into the limelight.

[@VinnySimonetti]

u got a point 90% of the people at the concerts were there to see hopsin that's probably why he left🤷‍♂️ but dizzy was the best artist to me personally💯 & as far as dame i think he's a good manager hopsin doesn't get as far as he does w/o him & had he stayed the sky was really the limit for that label

[@blakebryant1688]

Lol what? Dizzy was puttin in hella work and making his own money with no problem. I saw him a couple times without the rest of fv and his shows were just as packed
