Thanks for the shout Cass. I’m in a class all by myself, don’t forget that!!! I heard a Nina joint, she could spit…but in NYC, everybody could spit that doesn’t necessarily make you special. I own and operate an entertainment services company, I have developed business principles and a range of skills from relationship management to marketing and customer service that I developed over the years, not restricted to the music biz - overall I offer much more to both fans and the industry. I’m a youngin but I have 3 collegiate degrees, I own property, I consult other artists, have endless side-hustles, and in “Gatbush” - I run ish, make no mistake. Nobody messin’ with me, my success isn’t contingent on anyone else…I can’t lose!!! Peace.
