Makes you want to listen to it over and over again

This audiobook gives you a great understanding on sustaining a profitable career in the music industry if all things are done right. I honestly feel like this is for all genres of music and not just for hip hop. Give it a try and if the first two chapters don’t open your eyes then I’m sure what will. The choice is yours.
