Episode notes
Atlanta, GA We sat down with Florida hip-hop collective Mobb Full of Bosses (MFB, LLC) to break down the blueprint for independent rap entrepreneurs. We explored how they fund studio time, manage logistics, and structure responsibilities as a team. Sie Yung pulled back the curtain on his artist distribution deal with Universal Music Group (UMG). He explained why retaining your masters beats a traditional 360 record contract and shared the visual strategy behind his Atlanta video shoot for 'Yurrp'.
Self Paid OG Cortez exposed the hidden costs of building a self-paid infrastructure. Stray The Loner and Shado Prince dropped a masterclass in financial literacy, warning indie artists against wasting money on luxury items instead of building Intellectual Property (IP).
Finally, 3rd Ave D explained why industry executives overlook the Bradenton, Florida scene, and detailed their roadmap to building a legacy.
