I remember @daylyt30 bringing up a really good point about this saying that it should equal to a platinum plaque. Couldnt agree more.
biggz cares if don’t nobody else care.@Biggz_91
Still have yet to see a rapper go to a radio station and leave earth like this. Lord Jesus this such a classic

I hear yall. But streaming is low friction and buying is high friction, so if an artist can’t generate streams, they’re unlikely to generate purchases either. Yall are essentially charging 20% for infrastructure that becomes cheap and fully ownable once you scale, which means it can be useful early on to help artists monetize faster, but quickly becomes economically inefficient as soon as an artist has enough money to host their own domain and sell their music directly to their fans without giving someone 20%. I appreciate the willingness to have a public convo about this though. I think it’s helpful for artists
EVEN@even_biz
No gotcha taken, this is exactly the conversation worth having. Most artists never make a dollar from streaming. So asking them to spend hundreds to thousands to go direct-to-consumer can be a lot to ask. That's why EVEN is free. No subscription, no hosting. Shopify runs $350/yr on the annual plan. An artist needs about 100K streams to cover that, and if they want Billboard chart eligibility, they're paying extra through third-party apps. We only make money when you make money. Helping an artist make $100 and us making $20 feels better to us than an artist paying $350 a year while only earning $100. Our 20% covers payment processing, currency conversion in 140+ currencies, auto-payouts to PROs + the MLC, marketing resources and assets, 100% of customer support, and Fan Connect (SMS and email to your fans, built in). The people who wrote the song get paid. Would love to show you what we're building. Happy to walk you through it.

this isn’t a gotcha, just somethin that’s been confusing for me to watch but paying 20% on all revenue for y’all to host an artists work that their fans can buy is indirect to consumer, not direct to consumer lol
direct to consumer means no middleman. y’all are the middleman and take 20% for it. Shopify is like $39/mo + 3% per sale. a domain is like $15/yr.
basically an artist can bypass this and get a website and sell directly to their fans
just food for thought

You made the song. You made the video. You built the fanbase. Someone else is collecting most of the money. That's the problem D2C solves.

A 13-year-old Canadian kid uploaded R&B covers to YouTube in 2008 from his bedroom. A talent manager named Scooter Braun stumbled on the videos and signed him.
For the next 15 years, Braun controlled everything. Tours, branding, business deals, public image. The kid became the biggest pop star on the planet, sold 150 million records, racked up 32 billion Spotify streams, and had three Diamond-certified singles before turning 25.
Then in 2022, he got hit with Ramsay Hunt syndrome. Partial facial paralysis. Cancelled the world tour. Disappeared from public life entirely.
Here's where it gets interesting.
In January 2023, he sold his entire 290-song catalog to Hipgnosis for $200 million. Every song he'd ever released. "Baby." "Sorry." "Love Yourself." All of it. Gone. At 28 years old, he cashed out his past.
Then he dropped Scooter Braun. After 15 years. No manager. No agent. For the first time in his career, nobody was making decisions for him.
Fast forward to this weekend. Coachella calls. He picks up the phone himself. Rolling Stone confirmed he negotiated his own headlining deal directly with Goldenvoice. No agent commission. No manager cut. $10 million for two weekends, and he kept all of it.
Then he walked onto the biggest stage in music, sat down behind a MacBook, and pulled up YouTube.
He played "Baby" from 2010. He played his bedroom covers from 2008. He harmonized with his 13-year-old self in front of 100,000 people. Katy Perry joked about whether he had YouTube Premium.
Half the internet called it lazy. The other half called it genius.
They're both wrong. It was a receipt.
He sold his catalog for $200 million. He fired the man who discovered him. He negotiated his own deal. And then he went back to the exact platform where it all started and said: I built this from a laptop. I'm headlining Coachella from a laptop. And for the first time in my life, every dollar is mine.
The kid from YouTube just closed the loop.

@d__essentials I don't think it's a matter of old or new. It's the texture/message that doesn't resonate with me.

Mavo’s sound is the ultimate test of music knowledge. If you don’t rate it, then your knowledge of music is questionable.

When Falz saw me, I was still recording with Voloco, unrefined talent, zero confidence with almost zero publicity.
I kicked off my career looking up to him and Olamide, so believe me when I said him following me and texting me back then was more than enough for me, only for me to send him an old freestyle I did where my caption was “imagine if Falz could see this”.
I sent the post to him merely to talk about how crazy I think life is cos I only made that caption with faith and I still can't believe I now have his attention and he offered to send a verse and make the freestyle a full song.
This man was the first person to not just believe in me, to also SUPPORT me when he had absolutely nothing to gain from it.
And he's still so so soooo talented!!! My idolo fr fr!!!
Omo!
