Summary
A testament to making your own destiny, holistic hip-hop artist and Bay area phenom LaRussell brings his brand of positive energy to Get Your Ass Up!
Speaking to the value of ownership, tune in as this fiercely independent artist shares his journey from car repossession to turning down 800,000 dollar deals. And how he was able to build his brand by sharing his wins.
Listen in, and don’t miss LaRussell’s tips for up-and-coming indie artists, what keeps him up at night, and why you can still see him driving around in his mama’s car!
KEY POINTS:
- Why LaRussell writes down EVERYTHING
- Independent artist or major label deal?
- How you need to invest in yourself, literally
- Breaking the scarcity mindset
- What is LaRussell’s opinion on bling?
- Are rappers responsible for music’s influence on the culture?
QUOTABLES:
“I was starting to lose that security of having money in my pocket and feeling comfortable. I had to lose all that. But what I gained in exchange, now I'm in a position where I got everything back times 10.”
“Even that conditioning to understand that those aren't steps backward, right? It's just steps. When we feel like we're going back or we lose progress, you're just dropping weight so you can fly a bit better.”
“We live in a state now where we have a lot of people that are great at everything, except being a good person. So I'm trying to slowly navigate my life to where I never want to be the n*gga who was a great rapper but a trash human.”
