RIP Young Dolph | My Thoughts on His Passing
Rest in Peace to Young Dolph and condolences to his family and friends. In this clip from last weeks consultation, we discuss the untimely passing of rapper Young Dolph. Young Dolph was gunned down last week in his own hometown of Memphis, TN. In 2013, I had the chance to meet and talk with Dolph and I remember him coming across very genuine. It was sad news when I heard that he passed away last week. In this video I share my thoughts and condolences.

Why I've Been Staying OFF Social Media & Winning In Private
In this clip, I share why I haven't been posting as much content and being as active on social media. I've spent a large portion of my career documenting my life and other people's lives, for all to see. While it's been a fun journey, I am now going on journeys by myself that I don't care to share with others. Although my new journey may give other people insight, I'd rather keep my business private while I grow. There's nothing wrong with using social media to your advantage, but I think the use of social media is becoming excessive and overused. Social media is becoming more of a way of life rather than a tool that is used within life to get your further. I enjoy using social media as a business tool. I try my best not to be so connected to social media and to be more in tune with real life.

Communication is KEY
Communication is key. Don't be scared to talk to people. Be like George Costanza and do the opposite of what you'd normally do (in a good way). Be available to people and take time to listen to others. Always keep your ego in check and give a few seconds to think before you speak or respond. You don't need to respond to everything someone says to you. Sometimes silence is the best response. Always be respectful to other people and speak how you would want to be spoken to. If you follow these simple rules, communication with others will be a little easier. If you're interested in a consultation session, feel free to reach out. -Ousala

Sir Shadow Taught Me a Valuable Life Lesson
In this video, I share a childhood story about my great friend Sir Shadow. Sir Shadow is an artist that I grew up with and he's a good friend of my father. Shadow instilled a lot of values in me at an early age, that stick with me to this day and I'd like to thank him and pay homage. If you like art, take a look at my good friend Sir Shadow's website. He makes one line art, poetry and he's been a huge inspiration in my life and career. Thanks to Steven St. Vil for bringing this story out of me.

Why You Shouldn't Care About a Release Date | Building a Successful YouTube Channel
Why You Shouldn't Care About a Release Date | Building a Successful YouTube Channel
I'm so tired of seeing people with their release dates. Nobody cares about your release date. If you're lucky enough to have my attention, whatever it is that you're selling better be available now or else I'm on to the next thing. Unless you have a huge following and there's some method to your release date, then I think setting up a release date is pointless. Being spontaneous and prolific works a lot better than setting up anticipation that doesn't really exist. Here's a clip from a consultation session that I have a few weeks ago with singer/songwriter @Myia B. If you're interested in a consultation session, contact me. Thanks

Why Are You Being So Defensive???
Why Are You Being So Defensive???
Are you quick to get on the defensive side when someone says something to you that may possibly be constructive criticism? Or are you totally receptive to all information that you receive? Defensiveness in communication can create miscommunication and conflict. In this video, I speak with Kash Vegan about effective communication and putting your defenses down so that communication can be received in the most efficient manner. I also discuss being more receptive to information, whether you perceive the information as good or bad. Contact me if you're interested in a consultation session.

Jay-Z WOULDN'T Be a Successful Artist Had He Came Out in 2021
Jay-Z WOULDN'T Be a Successful Artist Had He Came Out in 2021
I don't think Jay-Z would be a successful artist if he came out with the same approach that he did in 1996, in 2021. Jay-Z and Roc-a-fella created this "Godfather of Brooklyn-esque" persona that made him appear larger than life. In Hip Hop, this approach has been replicated so many times that I don't think it would be as easily believable nowadays. In this clip from a consultation session that I had last weekend with a talented artist named Kash Vegan, we discuss why I feel like the internet is now like the "Wild West", how record labels look for young and naive artists, how artists are famous but not rich, 48 Laws of Power and making accomplishments seem effortless and much more.
The Legend of 50 Cent, DDG Retires from YouTube & Why Kid Cudi Wore a Dress
The Legend of 50 Cent, DDG Retires from YouTube & Why Kid Cudi Wore a Dress
In this continuation from the consultation session I had yesterday with Kash Vegan, I speak about the rise of 50 Cent and I discuss my opinion on YouTuber turned rapper DDG and him recently shutting down his popular YouTube channel with all of his vlogs and prank videos. I also discuss why Fetty Wap's missing eye made him more relatable, Kid Cudi wearing a dress on Saturday Night Live, short attention spans due to the rise of social media platforms, the overabundance of online content and keeping your mystique as an artist.
