“Stop looking on Instagram wanting these big chains! A lot of these artists are broke and selling a facade. Put in the work and once you get a deal, you need to continue putting in work to sustain. Artists don’t realize when you sign a record deal, you’re back at square one. All that work you put into hustling in the streets means nothing. You will no longer make the decisions because the label will. Always remember you’re only as good as the last hit.” –Hustle Simmons
