Thank you for this UM.
They were called slave copies derived from slave drives in technology. But it goes hand in hand and it’s all fucking terrible.
I just met Russ and never heard of him wow I am the newest follower..Just awesome Genius
In case yall wondering who Tobi Nwigwe is ? is our very own Nigerian artist tearing stuff up out there and he can still speak Igbo language meaning he can tear stuff up with Afrobeat too lol the about to control the controlling every continent. Where is tobe nwigwe from?
Tobe is short for Tobechukwu, which means “praise God” in Igbo, the language spoken by one of Nigeria's largest ethnic groups. Growing up in SWAT (a common local acronym for “South West Alief Texas”), Nwigwe lived a full Nigerian experience as a first-generation Nigerian-American.
It'll be a trip when these big artists really start moving on their own and takin their leverage back. It's boutta be wild
Just an update – Russ is now independent again.
This interview was fire… I’m def bout to switch from Distro to United Masters
I don’t think being confident is narcissistic. Narcissism is a whole other monster
On this path currently and i'm feeling this convo so much. Dont let ppl tell u whats possible, lets your actions match your ambitions. We out here grinding!
T.I.P did something to Stoute back in the day. He talking too wild about T.I.P’s catalogues. T.I.P’s catalogue can go up against about any and every rapper’s catalogues.
Thanks you Steve Stout for providing this platform. Very informative
