A hit is a song that maintains its relevance over an extended period of time. A song from the 60s, 80s, 90s, 00s that still slaps when you play it today.
Nowadays, many artists are just putting out viral hits, they're only popular for a short period of time, when you play it, you don't feel anything.
Aim for hits, not virality if you want to be one of the greats.
what a G!
That's a lot of coffee man
Wow as a multiple hit making artist this advice really hits for me!! I love how clear and practical he conveys his advice and it’s display just how brilliant music is as a business when you build your entrepreneurial skillset
A lot of gold here.
To much Sauce! Thank you🙏
I know this was just posted two months ago but I am just seeing this now and this is the best video I have seen about getting into the music business, how to keep it up and how to make 100,000 dollars a year! Just one cup of coffee a month
This is a strange interview 🤔
why does this dudes voice sound like AI
🔥✍️
As a hitmaker myself i think hits market themselves
This was good! Buy me a cup of coffee!
One of the best examples, against all odds and adversity, is Chris Brown. After 20 years, he's constantly dropping music or he's on someone else's song. He does the meet & greet that gets attention, touring every year, multiple festivals, on social media, interacting. Although he has success, not every song is #1 but he knows, even at 36 years old, he makes viral dances
90% of the time a hit is a catchy song with good melodies that get stuck in your head.
You gotta know how to hustle if have to go to street do it man like Jayz man guy sold out of his car ma
I'm gonna give simple advice work hard hustle on the street then get signed by a major label the get that label to put millions of dollars into your marketing very simple man
This guys info was good
In 2015 dated as f
This is it! Thank you.
It was always as this in Art!
What is the guy name you are interviewing? How come it's not in the credits? You have Lola Young in the credit as your case study.
whats this guy yapping about?
I'm so glad that has that built a music business valued over a million dollars and she hasn't done not one concert all her stuff has been online
All these former industry dudes do now is talk nigga you unemployed go help a artist then talk..ray..Damizza..this dude too show us🤷🏾♂️

Entrepreneurrs this is some real game. This information can be applied in multiple segments not just music.
There are industry players too
This guy is dope. Last name sounds Nigeria, I rate him haha
Your right 100% it’s all about great content
They are so right about hit songs,many artist need to go back and listen to the songs that will always be hot for the young and mature people who partied with the classics from back in the day. Cutis Mayfield,Barry white and Al Green are some of my favorite artist.
You wonder why the top new artists have mental health issues. This guy expects a young artist to be working like a dog 24/7 and as he says making no money What does the label do??
How does that young artist do all that. I guess they need some benefactors or rich parents
Joeguapo on all platforms for all my independent artist !!! Drop ya names inna comments
Chris Anatouke 🐐🐐🐐
So I dropped on this Beat – Search for SHOWTIME by Seshu on all platforms……..
8:00 what about clout and influencers or other famous artists promoting your things . How can that be “ all “ the algorithm
