You must act as if it's impossible to fail.
By going and coming, a bird weaves its nest.
It is a fool's sheep that breaks loose twice.
When people (talk trash) about you, you have to keep it moving, keep the records hot and keep your head up.
As a new artist there are so many new ways to put music out there where you don't necessarily need a label because now labels will have their hands in your pocket and leave you with less control.
I also like different records of mine for creative purposes and metaphorically wise.
