What Grinds My Gears: “Let’s Build”
At least three times a month, I get approached by someone who wants to further their music career; they proceed to @ me on Twitter or add a comment under my Instagram post with: “Let’s Build.” If this was ever said to me in person, I’d smack them in the face. Now, what exactly do you mean by, “Let’s Build”? Often times it’s me putting in the work and getting nothing in return. Most up and coming artists who use that phrase have no type of blue print in furthering their career, let alone invest in it.
They haven’t laid any type of foundation in their city, barely get plas on soundcloud, or whatever platform they post their music on, have booked no shows, yet expect a blog to have them reach new heights. A blog is supposed to help with your exposure, not jumpstart your career. So, no: I do not want to build with you nor do I want to work with you if my time is going to be wasted.
Help me help you. Build your own crediblity and invest in yourself before approaching me or anyone in regards to building your career 🙂

Quavo Claps Back at Chris Brown with New Diss Track ‘Over Hoes & B*tches’; Chris Brown Responds
Quavo has fired back at Chris Brown with a new diss track, “Over Hoes & B*tches,” following Brown’s earlier release of “Weakest Link” aimed at him. This exchange began when Brown dissed Quavo on his track “Freak” from the deluxe version of his latest album, “11:11.” Quavo countered with “Tender,” prompting Brown’s response.
The latest track premiered on DJ Akademiks‘ livestream on Monday, Apr. 22, with Quavo targeting Brown and his associates from OHB, Saweetie and more.
“Lil boy wanna die ’bout some coochie?/You still fucked up ’bout Karrueche?/You tried to beat up Teyana, but Usher wouldn’t let you do it/The cocaine got him your honor, bipolar disorder, no wonder/You was the greatest, n***a, you fumbled/Going out sad, I’m watching you crumble.” Quavo spits.
Chris Brown has since responded to the diss stating that he’s disappointed.
