The crew sits down with Big Shodd to break down what it really takes to be a street A&R in today's music industry. He's speaking from real experience about how to identify talent, build relationships with artists, and move in the streets while maintaining credibility. Shodd gets into the politics of the game—how labels sleep on real talent, why independent artists need to understand their own value, and what separates a legitimate A&R from industry vultures. He's dropping knowledge on how young rappers should be marketing themselves, building their fanbase organically, and not getting caught up in fake deals that look good on paper but leave them broke and exploited. This is essential listening for any artist trying to navigate the music business without getting played, and for fans who want to understand how the industry actually operates behind closed doors.
