What's good guys, Arshan here from the Kids Take Over YouTube channel. So i’ve been seeing a bunch of threads from upcoming artists complaining that they got scammed by big rappers like The Game, Fetty Wap, Benny The Butcher, Dave East, Calboy, Fat Joe, etc…

I decided to do some digging and get to the bottom of this scam, since literally NOBODY in mainstream media has made a video on it. I found out that it’s not really the fault of the big rappers here -- there’s actually this big company named “DaBlock365” who are using these somewhat washed up rappers, to ask young upcoming rappers to pay $500 to be on their next mixtape. Here’s the catch though, these mixtapes aren’t affiliated with the big artists themselves at all. They aren’t on any of the tracks. The mixtapes are just all the songs of people who paid their $500, and there’s like 40+ songs on each mixtape, which all get less than 50 plays… If you go on DaBlock’s SoundCloud page, they have over 6,000 tracks in just the span of 3 months. If you do the math, they made over 3 million dollars from this already..

The thing is, it’s really not illegal what they’re doing, but It really doesn’t benefit the small artists at all, and of course you would be excited if someone like Dave East hit you up saying he wants to work with you for $500. I actually called up one of the kids who got scammed, and got them in this video to share their experience too, and it turns out that after you get scammed once, it just turns into a never ending cycle of them trying to lure more money out of you. Been working on this for a month now but hopefully a lot of young artists see it and don’t get fooled out their money anymore. Thoughts?

The artist usually does a drop on the intro of the tape or some s*** like that, ive seen jim jones and juelz post it on their personal igS but yeah, a very big scam and the artist "hosting" prob wont even hear ur song

why is nicola sturgeon in the thumbnail

wow that’s brutal

who gon read that

mfs dumb doe

Yeah that happened to my homie he almost got scammed by Fetty Wap

Benny out here scamming niggas

not really a scam, you're getting exactly what they say you will, it's just not worth it

Lmfaoo I just searched up who that is, thats hilarious. My designer just made it for me tbh!

I literally just watched his No Jumper interview where Adam asks him about this. Bruh.. he actually defends this scam. I can't believe it.

Smhhh. Hopefully Fetty didn't actually know about it and it was just his management team or some s***.

Its f***ed up how artists prey on their fans like this.

I dont respect it at all.

Not cool.

Lmao angela merkle behind all this??!

well made vid

yea, I mean who knows though. I feel like some of them didn't even know about the scam while their team agreed to it.

He actually just addressed it on the No Jumper podcast. He justified it being okay because he apparently used to pay to perform at shows and be on other people's mixtapes too.

I saw that No Jumper interview and this isnt the same.

What Benny did was paying dues.

This mixtape scheme is just a waste of money.

I knew about this in like March

great way to explain a scam

it is what it is man

i knew atleast 3 artists this happened to that i know personally lol

disgusting

He told me to charge it to The Game....
