About this episode

The music industry isn’t what it used to be.

Years ago, you had to impress a handful of executives and pray that they liked your music — and if they didn’t, your career would never launch.

Now, you’ve got all these artists getting popular off of Soundcloud, Spotify, YouTube, and creating content on social media.

In this podcast, I talk with Dreezy — a rapper I really believe in — about the future of hip hop, and why I’m hanging out with rap artists as a CEO.

What up-and-coming artists do you think should be on my radar? Tweet me @GaryVee with the hashtag #GVAudioExperience ;)
