There's also a peek into Dame's current dance with music distribution at Too Lost, an invaluable platform transforming how artists share their music with the world.As we navigate the twists and turns of the music scene, we reflect on personal career stumbles and the birth of the Music Entrepreneur Club, which steps in to educate rising artists where traditional resources fall short. This episode peels back the layers on the art of networking, emphasizing the importance of reaching out when you're in the best position to offer value. We also stir the pot in the hip-hop media debate, dissecting the integrity of platforms that shape the narrative, while advocating for those who authentically resonate with the culture. Wrapping up, our dialogue ventures into the realm of social media and its dual role as a career catalyst and a minefield for artists. Dame unveils his strategy for content creation, from the engaging "We Need to Talk" series to supporting fresh faces through Certified Vibe. We also broach the delicate balance between online engagement and maintaining personal safety, and the broader implications of a generation coming of age in a digitally saturated world. This episode isn't just talk; it's an exploration of the symbiosis between music, culture, and the digital threads that connect us all.Talk Soon! ✌
