with NO marketing budget dawg man what

I said well daddy don't you know that things go in cycles?

As music keeps being more marginalized, the future is definitely gonna come back to digitally "selling it out the trunk" to the fans.

SB: I would love to know what Cole made off those Pre-orders for The Fall Off too on Even

4200 sales is amazing sales lol

Its big rappers who be doing 4200 pure lol

damn when you put it like that that's f***ing crazier.

Shows it 100% pays more to have a consistent career than an explosive one.

they emptying these artists pockets

8k-10k budget for the project is incredible. He does live listening sessions for fans and makes that easily from them. So the sales is all profit

The album 20 bucks or some s***??

Yah all 3 projects he put up so far are $20

yep.

just like how they was at the mom and pop sto'

didnt mach hommy solve this by charging like 4000 for an album

paying $20 >>>>> paying $9999 dollars lmao

Isn’t he saying 4200 people bought it total since the beginning of 2025? Not first week?

"spent 10 years developing an amazing fanbase"

This is key. Ovrkast said it in a tweet as well, but streaming nowadays really should just be a promotional tool to get D2C, physical, develop fans and tour. Shouldn't put too much stock on making a return on streaming

yeah but no middleman label or anything which would take a large percent

dave east did this for his newest album

only 7 songs on streaming and the full 18 tracks is only for purchase

Facts!

Bring back direct to consumer. Streaming can still exist but DTC should absolutely be the first option for new releases

who are these cucked ass people hes replying to god damn. 'aw did you know in this economy-' bro please shut your f***ing mouth and stop trying these dumbass strawmans on artists. 'oh i would pass up the opportunity-' are these people getting paid by labels to say all this stupid fake complicated pro streaming s***? god damn!!!

roc marci invented btw

*Master P invented

The reaction cole got on here for the 4 song ep being a dollar was interesting lol

kinda true though master p f***ed a lot of people over putting out their music afaik

niggas acting like he really robbed a baby

lotta these are russian/lucian-funded bots
