Listen now
Description
There are some who are lucky enough to grow up in a city that has a musical revolution, Nascent was one of the few in Chicago that had enough smarts, skills and humility to actually rise with that revolution. Surprisingly though, his first big break didn’t come from Chicago but rather a trip he made to New York. After building a relationship with Kay Slay, he flew to New York only to not get the meeting he was promised but instead of getting down he paid G Unit’s office a visit. That visit turned into his first major placement with 50 Cent, he expected that one moment to turn his whole life around which didn’t end up happening. He still worked a 9 to 5 while still grinding away at getting better as his craft and working with artists around Chicago. He ended up getting the chance to move to LA which he took and instead of chasing big artists he decided to help build and grow with up and coming artists, like himself which lead to him working with Chance The Rapper, Cam Obi, Noname, Brent Faiyaz, A Boogie and many more. He also gets real about how to actually handle your business and not just the stereotypical fluff you usually hear. He dives into publishing deals, how you should go about creative marketing ideas, releasing your own music and where you should put your money.
