Being an independent artist requires being industrious and hands-on, but offers more control and keeps 100% of the ownership of the work.

“I want to be a massive artist I want to be on radio and I'm listening to everyone on radio I'm like they're all signed so let me level the playing field that was the intention right um so I partnered but I kept my back catalog I kept 100% ownership and everything I did with Colombia was y'all get 50”

Bootleg Kev suggests that independent artists should use YouTube links for music submissions because it is the most accessible platform for immediate review during a stream.

“Obviously YouTube uh is the easiest thing to just click on and play.”
