Russ

There are multiple blueprints for success. Not all of them work for every artist.

A festival featuring the Internet’s most hated rappers? Let’s do it.

“Unlike the musicians who make them, a song doesn’t have a lifespan.”

"I just hate the victim mentality."

An advance is a loan, it is not free money for being talented.

“They’re what got me hooked on hip-hop.”

"For a genre that’s so infatuated with wealth, y’all be doing short-term shit…"

There's really another plaque.

Russ, Mistah F.A.B., Dumbfoundead and more dish out free game.

"I wrote, produced, mixed, mastered, and engineered one billion streams on Spotify."

There is a difference between abusing drugs and "CHOOSING to publicly glorify it," according to Russ.

There’s a good reason you've never heard about Russ’ music on Twitter.

"I mean, if it rewards talent, feel me, I would be the biggest artist in the entire fucking world."

"Look at how people try and play the legends. Why?"

And Kevin Gates has a single with PnB Rock that has real potential.

"I made sure that I built up leverage."

"You must evolve your craft."
