He's doing some innovative things like giving his fans royalties to certain songs so that they can earn money as he grows his music business.Can you see yourself doing this?

Does the music industry need a union to protect artists & employees within the business ? If yes how would it be formed ?

I feel that as long as it relay the message of the song and is eye catching is all that really matter. I've paid for professional single artwork and I've done artwork myself and seen no difference in people reaction. It's an exciting new piece of content then it gets old. People see it on DSPs but does it really make a big deal? The featured artist suggested we go a professional route on the artwork, this is something i created. I just want it lined up before content creation and release but I feel this would work perfectly fine. I even see big named art with not even this much effort in single artwork, sometimes album artwork too. What's you all's thoughts? Song is a party, feel good, having swag, center of attention type of vibe.

Thoughts? J. Cole just released a song with a producer who’s beat he found on youtube after searching “J Cole type beat”. To me, this is another genius marketing move from Jermaine. J Cole, a former ‘bedroom producer’, reaching back into the community at his status, in combination with the dollar and a dream tour, lounge wear outfits, and bowing out of the superstar chase of his contemporaries (Drake and K Dot) solidifies him as Hip Hops favorite every-man. What do you guys think of this move from Cole? If you heard the song, do you like it?
