By doing so, he proved that he didn’t need a major label to surpass over a billion streams on Spotify/Apple Music, sell out arenas across the US and around the globe, and become one of the most popular and engaged rappers right now. His method was simple: love and believe in yourself absolutely and work hard no matter what. In this memoir, Russ inspires listeners to walk to their individual rhythms.

Nothing "goes viral". If you think a popular movie, song, or app came out of nowhere to become a word-of-mouth success in today's crowded media environment, you're missing the real story. Each blockbuster has a secret history - of power, influence, dark broadcasters, and passionate cults that turn some new products into cultural phenomena. In his groundbreaking investigation, Atlantic senior editor Derek Thompson uncovers the hidden psychology of why we like what we like.

Exceptional book series, bad narration
Can not be more satisfied with the content of this book. Goes into depth with each topic in a clear manner which average people can understand and execute. I have listened to both books and highly recommend to someone interested in the music business and plans to make money. Wish I would have known this info before releasing music in the past.
As far as Nader Nejad goes, I’m sure he is a good guy, but gotdam bro. Your audio is hot trash. I can hear feedback, I can hear cars outside, coughs, heavy breaths, terrible quality audio. Worst audio I have heard all year after 13+ audiobooks. Quit trying to do audiobooks bruh. Please.
