The successful muscians are the ones who create music for the love of the art, sometimes riches will follow, but most of the time it's hard to get chipped off or recognized outside your circle. The markets so oversaturated tryna make the club banger, or the radio cut... it'll be a long road if the only vision is of lucre and havin' cake.
Look at that new Damian Marley cut, gettin' all sorts of play, but when he was asked if he made it for the radio and the club, and made it to be a hit, he was perplexed with the thought and said he's just tryna make some righteous music for the masses....
I don't know.... maybe off topic, maybe on point, its just my thoughts off top from this post
