Shownotes
The crew sits down with Brenton from Mile High Minute to chop it up about building one of Denver's most influential blog platforms from the ground up. Brenton breaks down the real hustle behind creating a media empire in a market that wasn't always paying attention to Colorado rap, discussing the challenges of competing with bigger outlets and how he carved out his lane in the digital space. He shares the behind-the-scenes moves that got Mile High Minute to where it is today, the relationships he built with artists, and what it takes to stay relevant when the industry is constantly shifting. The conversation touches on the politics of blogging, staying independent versus getting co-signed by bigger companies, and maintaining credibility with both the streets and the industry. Brenton also drops his top 5 Denver rappers who deserve way more national recognition, breaking down their impact on the local scene and why they haven't blown up on the bigger stage yet. Real talk about the music business, platform building, and putting your city on the map when nobody else is doing the work.
