and i'm not talking music wise (although he is in that category too). There hasn't been an artist to get this big while independent since XXX or Chance (R.I.P. his career). I think Brent will motivate other artists to not sign in the future, much like Master P did to him.
also his popularity is another piece of evidence to show how strong TikTok can be.

sidenote: really unbelievable that him and his manager went to every label, and they wouldn't give him at least 150k for an advance and 18% of royalties, but somebody like Summrs is able to get 500k (not knocking summrs, but Brent is an undeniable talent).

i really hope less artists sign in the future, it's more easier today if you get a good manager that can form a team for you

Brent my nigga I'm glad it had to be him

Push Back on him being an undeniable talent.

Outside of a few songs, I personall don't get it.

But the indie grind is appreciated for sure.

Lucky Daye is superior
Good for him on his indie grind tho

Talk 2 U and the stuff with Sonder is great. I don't f*** with much else. Trying to though lol
