I was a photographer/videographer and majority of these rappers had no money to pay for a video 😂 i realized quick this industry was a scam and stopped listening to music in general because of my experience in it. I had a Sony A6400 a website portfolio and my own lighting. It's crazy how little knowledge these rappers have about money management....

Thankyou bro> I started in this industry in the 00's I seen everything go from CD to streaming. The UK is fake, the scene is fake the game is rigged. I got into producing and then into other businesses. Music is for joy and creative freedom but don't think you getting rich off this, these days overrrr!

I love making music and I hate the business model I believe in myself this is why I keep working regular jobs so I can have independent, creative freedom when it comes to my music, all I care is the emotion how it makes me feel and the artist. You can make big money to no money at all, but this is so inconsistent it's just better do it for the love. Get your money elsewhere.
