Going independent can sometimes be a both fun and frustrating for rap artists. Newark, New Jersey lyricist Barry Bondz chatted with me about it in the latest installment of Scoop B Radio Overtime.
There’s a stalemate. Labels are spending less money AND artists want to be in total control of their brand.
“It’s a lot of hard work,” Barry Bondz told me on Scoop B Radio Overtime. “And you can’t get discouraged you got to focus on you and what you and your team is doing.”

Here’s what else, Bondz had to say had to folks who are considering that route but are kind of still on the fence.
“You can’t really worry about what everybody else has going on. It’s really what you have going on. You know, the industry is different. It’s a lot of machines behind everything it’s a big facade. My main thing I would tell people is just worry about what you’re doing and be consistent, that’s the most important thing, consistency you’ll eventually knock down the wall.”
