    How often does he put out MV's for his albums? For rappers it's usually 3 music videos and if that's the case here then we have one left. I'm so conflicted whether I want to se LGMH or Hillside Hunger

    Oh man, Interlude would be so good for that type of performance. Him going off for a minute and a half. Let go my hand might be too mellow and has too many background vocals

    Whoever’s got the hits. I see some of the artists throwing shade at the label from time to time. A lot has changed since Cole first signed to the Roc but one thing is as true as ever. You wanna be a star, you gotta make some hits. You wanna be a superstar with longevity, you gotta make hits that are true to you as an artist.

    IMO it doesn’t matter because that’s out of their control. They control what songs they make. If any of them think they are sitting on a stash of #1 hits the label just won’t put out, they are delusional.

    I like all of the Dreamville artists to varying degrees and love ROTD3 but they gotta be real about the fact that the music just isn’t connecting with a huge audience yet. I’m sure they all make a good living and get to make music for a living and that’s nice. But if you want to be a star, gotta make the hits. Simple as that.

    Take JID for example. If he’s gonna make the same old JID songs (fire btw), he’s gonna get the same old JID results. Up to him if he’s cool with that or if he wants more.

    My first time listening to this kd Cole podcast.. bruh just confirmed it’s a boy is another project. I think it’s an album. The way he was talking it sounds like it’s a full project
