Define the music industry
OGG – Grimy, it’s really like the streets. You have to grow up really fast when you start to get into the streets or the industry. You have to operate in a space where you know not everyone you deal with on a day to day has your best interest at heart, but you still have work with them. You just really have to watch yourself and the people around you.
Jefe – It’s very political I think. It’s more about popularity and who has the bag than talent and creativity. Art isn’t for everybody. If it’s for everybody it isn’t art. So “main stream” has to be by definition less artistic than independent artists and music.
-
Artist and media personalities you would like to work with
Jefe – Gary Vaynerchuk , iampvnch
OGG – I’d be more interested in working with and learning from men like Bill Gates and Warren Buffet. People like them helped me think about how to set up the conglomerate we have, YGM. We need to learn how to start reproducing entrepreneurs after ourselves, not just becoming independently successful and wealthy.
