Shownotes
The crew sits down with G.U.N. to break down his journey signing to Def Jam and what that deal really means for an independent artist trying to maintain creative control in 2024. They dig into the rollout of "Aloha," exploring how the track connects to his overall sound and vision, plus what the label brought to the table versus what he had to give up. The conversation then shifts to his touring experience with 10k.Caash—what that grind looks like on the road, building a fanbase city by city, and the real dynamics between artists when you're moving together. G.U.N. keeps it 100 about whether labels are actually helping or just taking their cut, discussing how the game has changed for younger rappers trying to build something real without getting caught in corporate politics. It's raw talk about the business, the music, and what it takes to stay independent-minded even when you're signed.
