37% of SNAP benefits users are white. more than any other demographic of people.

yet some white people seem to be the most defiant in saying those benefits shouldn't exist.

interesting.

yall still calling everyone broke despite people losing jobs, despite the government taking away benefits, despite the president trying to create a dictatorship.....

all the in-fighting is exactly what the government wants.

had at least three artists i was supposed to work with over the last two months completely disappear.

and by that i mean they hit me up FIRST, hopped on a call, said they were red to work, made me jump through hoops, send documents, they'll set a deadline to get started.....only to ghost.

consider releasing the edited version of your single/album.

makes it a lot easier to land placements all-around. not just on TV but in places like grocery stores as well.
