Life of Artist Manager: When Your Artist Becomes a Millionaire



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Xk4w2CGysU

(10/23/14) - On this day, I took my artist to Chase to open up a new bank account. New money was starting to come in left and right, and he needed a new bank account. Never let fame or money go to your head. This was also the day after Makonnen was attacked on stage (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xns7Wltirw0) by Troy Ave's bodyguard Ronald McPhatter aka Banga, who was later murdered during a shooting at a T.I. concert at Irving Plaza in New York (https://www.nytimes.com/2016/06/23/nyregion/troy-ave-pleads-not-guilty-to-attempted-murder-in-ti-concert-shooting.html).

Life of Artist Manager: 21 Savage Before The Fame



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hZigQM_FbAE

(10/11/14) - Shortly after this footage, 21 Savage (http://instagram.com/21savage) went on to become one of the most successful artists of the year. On this day, Billboard (http://billboard.com) came to Atlanta to do an interview with my artist. We met up with Awful Records, Key!, ManMan Savage and 21 Savage before he collaborated with Sonny Digital (http://instagram.com/sonnydigital) and Metro Boomin (http://instagram.com/metroboomin), and made his hit songs. At the time, I didn't know 21 Savage's name. I don't think he had a rap name around this time. 21 Savage recently went Double Platinum (http://www.xxlmag.com/news/2017/03/21-savage-metro-boomin-x-future-double-platinum) with his single "X" featuring Future (http://instagram.com/future). Metro Boomin & 21 Savage also got another platinum plaque for their single "No Heart".

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OlLhihHbd-0

(10/7/14) - On this day, HBO's Vice (https://www.youtube.com/user/vice) did a segment for their Noisey music channel (https://www.youtube.com/user/noisey), featuring me and my artist. The Noisey crew flew to Atlanta, to document the music movement in Atlanta, that I helped rejuvenate. We first started off at "El Barrio" where the Awful Records (https://www.youtube.com/user/AwfullyC...) crew lived at the time. We then went to Sonny Digital's Atlanta studio to meet with him. We then met Mike Will Made It and the Ear Drummers at a studio in Atlanta. Check out the unseen footage from this documentary that I captured on my iPhone.
