Fivio still does numbers and still sells out his shows.

50 artists just got dropped from Atlantic 2 weeks ago. All labels are cutting back because the market has proven them to be useless and they haven’t figured out a new way to exploit artists to make money.

Not of these NYC drill artists outside of Pop Smoke move the needles. The execs who scrambled to sign DD Osama and fukking "D-Thang" will learn soon enough.
It’s the opposite. Those artists need to stop running to major labels. They’re all scrambling because their old model of loaning artists millions of dollars and keeping all of the profits under the guise of having to recoup doesn’t work anymore because of no physical sales and lack of touring.

You can put your music out and make high quality videos for way less than a label budget. You can also eat off socials with engagement.

Drill fan bases engage online and stream like crazy; most of them came up organically anyway so why give away your streaming and tour money to a label? Get good management, dope merch, do small venues and eat.

If you in NY/tri-state you probably think this old ass kid is a superstar, 😂. No disrespect, 🤷🏽‍♂️, but I don’t think his motion is really like that past South Jersey..

He was alright with me strictly because Nas rocked with him, lol, I hate his verse on Spicy but that’s neither here nor there. Then I found out he was like 35…drillin and killin and bangin and shhit, 🤮👎🏽
