[@khasimcdaniel3612]

Get that dude to go in depth with mixing. Like showing the screen! That would be lit with that maximus and other tips

[@killerheadphones728]

Future Knock...

[@mestephan20]

Can you start asking producers about how they got or made their tags?

[@DM-us2uw]

Start interviewing managers

[@jawnfps]

I hope the one thing people take away from this is how hard making money is from producing. A lot of younger smaller producers will say they make money, keep in mind it takes multiple songs to make money.

[@DJLanta]

You can find all the legal information with Lamont Graves on IG! You guys should really interview Lamont! I have been apart of his Publishing class and his Producer Album class! This guy is amazing! Get him on please!!! He has so much producer legal game!!!
