I promise they won’t get away with this y’all! Download “The Brave”. Lets give em the data they want. vydia.lnk.to/TheBrave
Oh they understand it alright. They're gate-keeping. Most of everything we know about the world and history is a lie perpetrated by the tribe/cult we're not allowed to criticize.
"We reviewed your top ranking sales, and we feel it isn't supported by numbers we see from all the SoundCloud mumble rappers whose only copies sell to their immediate friends and family". Lol
Reach out to a good attorney!!
Dear Tom, put your faith in Messiah Yahushewah over billboards and the music industry. I hope this helps:

In 2006 I was in the top 10 most subscribed users at KRplus and actually put the first ever paid partner (Terry Roth aka Zipster) on the map I was falsely suspended effectively costing me over $60 million dollars in revenue true story welcome to the world of censorship and dirty business deals! I was actually suspended on Facebook for sharing brainwashed!

They arent that stupid. They believe how much you've sold. They watch you carefully enough to know. Thats just the excuse they are using to lock you out.
I'm sure the companies are "comitted to keep their territory theirs". They don't want the winds to change. They probably pay people or exchange favors to get what they want.
Ikr
💯
Yes they are. People don't know how to read anymore.
This is why the radio sounds so homogeneous because Independent artists can’t get through. Thanks for exposing this Tom!
Thank god he finally made it to #1 on billboard!!
You articulated your thoughts so very well! Bravo Tom. We are rooting for you.
So happy he made #1 on the billboard !!
I know this is late, but for future reference, does it count if you just download the album if you have Apple Music, or do you have to pay specifically for the album? I get them for free through my subscription, but I’m more than happy to pay for it.
Hi Tom! I’m a 70 yr old lady who never liked rap music….until I heard you. I have listened to your tunes & I must say I absolutely love them! You’re a great rapper with a wonderful voice. And I must say also that you are a very handsome young man. Keep pumping out those tunes! ❤
You need to file a lawsuit against the data collection company, if they won’t answer your questions then a judge will.
Hopefully
AGREED!! Someone should have to answer to these inadequacies.
That would cost a fortune
These big companies would drag you through the mud until you go broke. Thats how they win.
@@Brown270TTV but it would make the newspapers
They are not miserably failing to understand anything!!! THEY ARE GASLIGHTING YOU!
Honestly it's because they are liberals who run it and don't want you to speak the truth and be a true American with American common sense is what it comes down. Tom keep doin this shit I try to do the same on social media to inform and you amazing patriots inform the most 🖤
As a former member of an independent Christian band, I experienced this first hand. That's why years later I went to music production school to learn how to do all of the things so that I could build a music production company and hopefully label that can stick a giant middle finger to the mainstream music industry! It's just as corrupt as our nation's capital is! You are 💯 right that it needs a complete overhaul. That, or we just need to build the greatest competition to them that would out perform then in every way! #hangovergangforever
I have never liked rap but you've got a fan here... I have always told my daughter to never change who she is just to fit in... She's bullied at school because she's a straight A student and going to be a doctor... I am so proud of her and your messages are so powerful it send chills through me... I am a rocker not a rapper but yours is unbelievable...Thanks and never sell out...
So your daughter is bullied at school for being straight and wanting to be a doctor! Yeah sure she is.
And he made it to #1 on the billboard so it shows that fighting for what’s yours works!!
You still don’t like rap.
Watch your daughter. People who have been bullied add solutions to problems on the menu, that should not be there. Bullying can crush a person. Check in and listen to her, please.
Hope your daughter is doing well. Bullies suck
Tom, I am in my mid 50s and I can tell you young man, you are really appreciated by folks in my era. You have that energy from what we had in the 70s and 80s. Don't stop being you and being a great artist. You're a good soul and the world needs more like you.
Same age as you too and totally agree with you 👍❤
Not as wise as you yet 😂 but a 70's baby nonetheless & I must agree with you with Toms energy. We grew up with some damn good music 😂 this crap they call music now is FOOLISHNESS. Enjoy the rest of your week!
@@greenladylove7297 exactly
54 this year. i completely agree.
55 in a few days.
Tom is everything we supposed to hate according to the establishment. Yet we love him and his music. Keep going Tom, I understand that as an extremely successful artist you want to be acknowledged for your accomplishments, so well fight the fight with you. I think your fans should overwhelm Billboard and or the data company with mails demanding their change towards independent artist.
Never hold your piece, cheers from South Africa
1. Lawyer up
2. Go to your politicians
3. Keep us updated
4. Keep the message and the music coming
Gratitude,
Jim
Your right man, that would have been a guaranteed #1 album. Wow, your plan would have broke the music industry. Wow, again super impressed and you deserve your spot.
It does seem that the big record companies don't want the public to see you can achieve on your own.
You are a pioneer and that is never easy.
Thank you, Tom.
Government controls EVERYTHING!!! Your music does not get played on the radio because you’re telling the TRUTH. Don’t EVER give up. I’m so proud of you Tom
Plus his language can't be played on radio. I love his music ideas but I can't take the language
@@salesadmieze9049 yes. English is very bad.
I am a follower of Christ and I have a huge potty mouth! There are more important things He’s working on in my heart and life than the Fbombs coming from my mouth😊
@@KarleenRoberts If you're a Christ follower than you should know that He said in Matthew 15:18, "But what comes out of the mouth proceeds from the heart, and this defiles a person.". He said in Matthew 12:34, "...out of the overflow of the heart, the mouth speaks". Paul said in Ephesians5:3-5 no foolish talk or vulgar joking, in Colossians3:8 Paul says, Christians MUST put aside filthy language. There are more verses about our language but I'm exorting you to live out your salvation with fear and trembling. If you are truely saved you may struggle with your language but you will NEVER practice using vulgar language as a lifestyle. Christ came to save us from our sin and the penalty for our sin. He did not give up His life so that we could keep on sinning as much as we want. We MUST stop sinning as much as we can. He said in John14:15 "If you love me, you will keep my commandments. God Bless.
@@mattdillon4398 and who dictates what is bad language and good? You? The Christ? The church? Because I don’t see god saying what words offend his senses…
oh, I get it, men that say other these other men have been appointed by god, right? Like the guys that buggar little boys? or commit the single largest acts of genocide the world has ever seen; Like the systematic and almost complete destruction of north and South American indigenous peoples and their entire history and existence? The same church that claims Christianity but prays to someone other than god? -The word of god is not god, the Christ is not god- but That church? That’s the church that says the word sh*t offends his holy senses and turns a person wicked? Mmm… okay. But I’m the crazy one.
Hey Tom! You should hire a law firm to threaten them with a lawsuit. They are representing themselves as a "data collection company." They have responsibilities to Billboard and the public at large. They cannot legally hold independent artists hostage to their way of business. Peace to all the awakening ones.
upgrade to class action, independently crowd source the ammo
Yes do this screw them with the system, play their games
Courts won't care. Private company, no contract between the parties. At best he could try filing a deceptive advertising complaint with the FTC, but as he isn't actually their customer it probably won't have much weight. The most effective course of action would be a social media crusade naming and shaming the company or pressuring Billboard to cut ties with them if they don't change.
Well said.
Lmao
A really wise man once said "Welcome to the system".
I love that youre fighting for whats right, even for those that dont like you. I think this just serves to prove youre calling it all spot on. I love watching your (and Novas) success grow in spite of the music industries effort to keep you down. Yall are truly legendary.
Thank you for this in depth report of the fight you've been fighting for recognition of your hard work and the recognition of Independent Artists Globally. Truly inspiring. As one who wouldn't sell their soul to the superficial industry at a very young age, now surviving as an independent artist, I truly appreciate those who are doing the same and paving a new path, away from the Ritualistic crossroads all great artists face eventually. Stay strong. Your message is being guided to those who need it. May you and your work be protected. 🙏🎶⭐ Rock on.
The “data collection company” doesn’t really work for Billboard (even if they are getting paid by Billboard). They are working for the record companies, distribution companies, etc. Independent artists are a threat to that business model.
This makes a lot of sense now. They pay their bills and if Tom is competing against them they have no chance so why would they. Hard to say but wouldn't surprise me if the data collection agency was double dipping sometimes I wonder how some of the artists get on top. 🤷♂️
krplus.net/bidio/osygfZycjKamqKg
Kind of like crypto against big banks.
@@bloodgangbg529 Trash!
Working for the machine pushing the indoctrination of the nation through all the overplayed bullshit that's on those charts. Molding the minds of youth
It’s almost like the charts are just a publicity machine for the big labels. As if they don’t actually care about what’s selling, only what the major labels tell them. Like a bunch of talentless hacks are worried that if artists cut them out, the hacks will have to get an actual job… so weird.
💯
100%
And they want certain music playing bc it has messages in it. They cast spells through music.
Big propaganda machine. Listen to what we want you to listen to, which is usually trash.
I have been listening to your music for two weeks now. I must say I have been blown away! You and Nova are warriors! Thank you for standing strong in your battle with Mainstream! It might be out of my place to say, but I would hire an attorney to sue both Billboard and their data collection companies! You deserve the recognition you have earned! My blood is boiling for you!
I found Tom last year. I turn 65 tomorrow and never liked rap before. Check out Adam Calhoun and Bryson Gray. Enjoy !
Absolutely LOVE you both!!!
Remember, A lion does not need to tell you he’s a lion.
Everybody KNOWS!
They are LYING
Lawyer up
Take it to court, set a precedent,
And SHAKE THE INDUSTRY TO THE CORE!!
love you guys!🏆💯🔥🎸
lol why? i mean who cares, just call them out on their dumb shit and move on. nobody cares about the industry charts its all a con anyways. If i was Tom i would get a chuckle out of this and know i was doing something right lol
Agree he must go to court with this, it would be a good blow to the industry👌👌💯💯
@aloevv𖤐 you don’t speak for any of us troll!! Go blow yourself up, Joe said if you believe in him then you would gladly die for him!!
Can tell you now that courts won't care. It's a private business and there was no contract between the parties, it's not the place of the government to step in on this. Best course of action is to name and shame the data collection company so the public applies pressure on them to change.
@aloevv𖤐 ....can't believe you voted for someone who said all black people are the same...or wanted to segregate schools because it would be a jungle, a racial jungle? Or when he said black men are super predators. Or Biden spoke at a friend's funeral who was in the KKK.
This is deliberate, they'll be in cahoots with all the big labels. They won't want independent artists getting to the top because it threatens these labels.
BINGO!
this is 100% it . they have a monopoly practically. i'm just happy HOG going to be a pain in their asses. good going guys!!
That's the obvious answer - and it was totally predictable!
Money talks💰💵
Bingo!
Your music changes their narrative of the influence they have on society, which is all backwards. I just subscribed and I really love your music! Will continue praying for ya’ll’s success 🙏🏻
Keep fighting ! You, REN & Chinchilla, among others, have more talent than any "signed" artists. You no longer need the "industry". You got this with KRplus and social and your own talent ! ❤ The numbers speak for themselves.
KRplus is part of the problem too though. We need a mass migration to platforms that are not a part of the dictatorship and we need to create a free person's alternative to youtube.
It's time to take our freedoms back in SO many ways!! ♥️🇺🇲 Keep up the great music and saying what most of us think!!
The music industry is trash….. happy to see people waking up…. Love you Tom!
Dear Tom, put your faith in Messiah Yahushewah over billboards and the music industry. I hope this helps:

While I hate the music industry, no musician/artist would be here without it.
@@Fusion05 that's kinda the point, right?
How bout we make are own billboard? Legacy media on its way out.
@@Fusion05 what? That's not true, big music industry is a new thing already being destroyed currently, speaking relevant to the years artist been singing to fans before Egyptians days
Don’t ever stay silent! Tom!
Genius at work. Not an accident that you are being dismissed. They cannot control you and this scares them. They know what you have done but refuse to acknowledge it because others might learn that they also do not need a controlling music label to be successful. Keep up the work. We believe your numbers that they refuse to report.
"We might never win the fight but I'm damn sure showing up for it. "
- Tom Mcdonald (Only the Brave) 2022 ❤️
They can't control an I dependant artist which is why they fuck you around..... Trying to force you to sign to a label and contract,essentially giving the industry full control of your life, your passion, your music. Stay true Tom and fight for independence.
They are afraid of of INDEPENDENCE... Keep going don't give up.....
If the industry sees independent artists doing it without them... more independent artists will flourish and the industry will fail. And it should at this point.
Can't come quickly enough. Many of us have been unable to turn the radio on for decades as the trash being played stinks.
@@maccagrabme I stopped listening to radio music several years ago. I just listen to talk radio or my music playlist.
Current model has the industry go online and see what KRplus LLC is cookin' (iTunes Spotify included) and hence Mr. MacDonald has been getting some advance? offers from the 'bigs'.
You don't need superficial Billboard recognition. Be a rebel! Keep doing what you do!
Never stop dropping that mic bro . We are 2 Canadians that fled Chinada for Mexico oct 14th 2021. Best decision we ever made.
we fully support your believes and you mission 🙏🏽🙏🏽
God bless you and your family
I'm honestly blown away by you guys.
You and Nova are amazing!! Keep pushing against the music industry BS
As a International DJ or 30 years, I have watched ghost writers leak information on artists making the charts and never made a track ever! It's all pay for play. I stepped back from the music industry after being canceled in 2018. Fck it! The industry is disgusting, shady, and abusive! Good on you for exposing just one of the dark sides of the industry.
After watching this, I have lost ALL respect for the BILLBOARS and the Music industry. I will NEVER again look to BILLBOARDS for ANYTHING ever again!
Wow this story makes me so mad!!! How absolutely ridiculous that you dealt with that. Absolute incompetence. I would be furious, seriously. You guys were completely right to keep pursuing this and fighting like you did. I love your email to them. You worded it perfectly and the fact that they never responded back to you is completely and utterly asinine. I just started folllowing you and love your music and videos. So good!! You are so inspiring.
As a fellow independent artist this is sad to hear. They clearly just didn't want your sales to be cleared. Disgraceful and disheartening
Disgraceful yes but don’t be too disheartened, don’t let them stop you, doing you! Blessings
I’m also an independent artist and I’m trying my damn hardest best to put my voice out there but I don’t have that many listeners on all digital platforms but hearing this makes me have hatred towards the music industry and I’m thinking about staying independent when I get “big” someday
Music industry and media sucks. Keep doing you, you’re an inspiration to many🤟🏻 they can’t silence you
@don't be surprised If you post a video you want others to see don't post it on every comment. People see you as annoying when you post every comment then Noone cares to see what you are sharing

Music industry, news media, Hollywood, and government are all bullshit.
I’m not a musician but I’m sharing the hell out of this. I’m sick and tired of “the system” screwing anyone that won’t bow down. We’re the rebellion. Thank you for being real!!!!
Good for you! Did you buy a digital download? Be sure to share the Amazon and iTunes links when you share this.
@@teresabenson3385 We bought the CD and have downloaded it on iTunes and Amazon music.
@@kellybiggs2056 Awesome way to run up those numbers for him!
Your mistake was to believe the music industry was about art, when it's actually about control.
I LOVE YOUR MISSION!!! YOU ARE THE REAL DEAL!!!
Im from LA and I know you’re speaking TRUTH!!!
I was a video editor, and did t-shirts screen printing, you rock!
It seems like they pulled a scenario where you asked them, "Why wouldn't you count these statistics counting towards the chart?" and they hit you with a "because" or "just because" answer. The industry is scared of independent artists because THEY don't benefit from it. Great vid Tom! Keep killing it bro!
The bottom line is that the Billboards do not want independent artist to bypass their puppet artist. Tom & Nova's music is too controversial for the music industry to swallow, you are literally their competition. Remain independent it's worth it at the end. Peace & Love to All.
Bro this is CRAZY!!! Not only because of the dunces in the industry but also because of the clarity of your work ethic!! This single video has massively influenced my drive to step up my grind! Thank you bro!!
TOM n NOVA
You both are truly inspirational God bless you both.
Billboard is a relic, from a bygone era. They just don't know they've been replaced by the internet. You got my support Tom. I'll hit up Amazon right now.
They are playing you at their game with their rules. Youre not supposed to be able to win, but you are with your music. Keep smashing it onyour own.
Love and positive energy to Nova and yourself as you move through this nonsense.
Bravo on yet another spectacular song!
Congratulations on holding the line through all the crazy making. They indeed knew exactly what you had been doing, yet needed to somehow make you jump through their hoops on demand because of it.
No matter how you look at, you absolutely beat them at they're own game. Which burns their asses! 🤣👏💖✌
great fan❤️❤️
You're among the shortlisted winner's 🥳🥳.. Use this above name to acknowledge your prize👆👆👆

God Bless You!!!
Don't you agree?
Tom...... You're a breath of fresh air! Wish I had found you, your music and team sooner! America united for the people!
I was in the music industry for 20 years as an artist and I can tell you from experience: literally EVERYTHING in the industry benefits empty suits and talentless hacks and screws over the creative class. It's not just as bad as you've heard: it's MUCH worse.
I agree 100%. I was a security specialist for several major labels over my career they contracted a company that I had created that took SWAT team Trained officers and ex military including special forces members and integrated them into positions not only to secure individual entertainers but assets for these corporations I seen some extremely shady s*** to the point that they were my largest contract about 60% of my business and I canceled all ties and pulled out of the contract because the things that they were requesting of us and of other contractors and people that worked within their corporations was not only unethical but underhanded and just plain evil. One of these corporations was having us escort literally a ton of art and gold every month and at first it threw me off I couldn't figure out why a music industry corporation would own that much art and gold and then it dawned on me they were using us and that to hide their assets so they didn't have to go into bank accounts.
Oh, amen to the last part. The shit is beyond wicked.
This is just proof of how scared they are of your success. You're a positive voice that's bringing people together. Keep pushing back 🙏❤️
They are scared they won’t have any business anymore. Big record companies
I'm with you Tom screw the music industry
I love you, Tom!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ I love Nova!! Thank you for being you. The world is a ridiculous, fucked up place. Thanks for trying to fight back!
Looks, intelligence, killer management skills, great voice, fabulous team, It's obvious you're just such a huge threat to the establishment they're trying to keep you out!!
Keep fighting the good fight, we're behind you all the way!!
My father is a senator he likes your music and i told him about this it really grind his gears and he said he can get some people involved. I really hope he does i will keep nagging him about this.
WHO??
hm.
What's his name? I'll send a letter of support.
I'm so mad. Independent artist deserves more req. I'm with you on this planet.
Rock on, brother! You’re making a HUGE impact!
You're a threat, you enlighten people, make them think, red pill them, if you will. They don't like that. You and Nova don't comply, don't conform, don't give in. And THAT IS THE REASON WE THE PEOPLE OF THE WORLD LOVE YOU AND YOUR WORK. Hold the line guys, keep making that fabulous content, never stop.
Yes! This is the reason!
BINGO and well said.
Monopolies need to be broken up!!!!
People these days are too comfortable with immoral, unethical behavior.
A travesty!
Well said! I came here to say something similar to this, but you said it better.
This whole situation is beyond pathetic. I am trying to understand why “they” are going to such great lengths to discount your actual numbers. Who is pulling their strings and why won’t they accept your numbers? I can’t imagine how frustrating this is for you guys… as a huge fan, I want to see you all get the recognition you are so deserving of.
There is a trucking company out of Florida who has a phrase on their company shirts. " Hustle till your haters ask if you if your hiring."
A) they completely understand all of the info you gave them. B) they don't want you to succeed. C) nobody cares about anything mainstream, D) start your own Billboard type system !! #alternateeconomy
As a music lover I have to say I am sick to death with the crap the billboard charts are forcing into our ears. I’ve stopped listening to music radio and only listen to talk show only or else my music collection.
Tom and independent artists like him are a breath of fresh air. We need to hear more music and artists like you Tom.
Absolutely!
Me too! I don't want to hear about sex, gays, trans, and the rest of the stuff Hollywood loves!
Too true
Anybody with any sense can see exactly what is happening to the music industry by just noticing what is happening to Harry Styles
I haven't listend to radio in 15+ years
Sorry this shit is happening to you. You deserve to have that album on the billboard charts as #1. I love your stuff.
My neighbor from the north! Eric from Wisconsin here and was compelled to comment on one of your posts.. You fricken rock! Much love to ya and your fam! and keep up the amazing work! You passed a vibration to me through your music and the energy is absolutely pure! Hallelujah Hollaback
No matter what happens, you don't need validation from "Billboard" charts to know who you are and how popular, meaningful and powerful your music is. Your Pro America message is inspiring and makes a difference. Thank you Nova and Tom!
I think the “validation” was more for Nova. Good for Tom for so wholeheartedly backing his woman.
@@justincook181 I concur!

The Azov Battalion is an extreme-right nationalist Neo-Nazi paramilitary organization based in Ukraine.🚨🚨🚨
You are definitely not wrong, B T. The problem is that Tom and other independent artists would be able to make even more sales (music as well as merchandise) if the billboards would report accurate information without bias against independent artists. Keep up the fight, Tom and Nova, eventually they will notice enough public backlash to do the right thing.
I don't think it was validation at all. It was to get their message out to the entire world. By putting your name on the chart, you're getting people to look you up and see your message. The validation comes as a cherry on top.
F them, you’ve got where you are without them. Keep doing you
Amen!
Im 59yrs old Tom Macdonald ,I never liked to many rap tunes till I heard Yours...I love it!!!!! Shared this 3 time...
Oh, they understand you, but they are PURPOSELY playing stupid because it's all part of their control game.
Bless you & stay strong & true Tom & Nova!
As an ecommerce guy, let me explain why logging into store backend should provide verification of Tom's numbers... Every transaction will have a transaction ID along with payment verification from the credit card processor....this cannot be faked or scammed in on the backend. Billboard clearly does not want to accept information Tom & crew.
You're proving to all musicians everywhere, they don't need a record company or promoters to be successful.
They fear everything you guy's represent... You guy's ROCK!!!! We see too!!!!!!!
Exactly!
Neither did Macklemore, and he made off with every penny.
I'm so glad these musicians are getting social media to work for them. Cut the big label thieves out! Keep their own music, money and in return ticket prices will be more affordable too.
God bless you Tom. 🙏🏼✝️💖
Not only are you an unbelievable musician musician, you have an intelligence about you that is undeniable both through your lyrics and and your fight for causes like this one...
It's too bad he's only a musician musician. He needs to evolve to a musician musician musician

I’m 7 minutes in and this is interesting, but I want to know which data collection agency you were in contact with. I report physical sales to billboard independently every album and initially I had to give them access to the website’s backend, which I did. They’ve never asked about publishing or anything of that nature. They did count the physical sales though, which were in the thousands. I’m sure I can help.
Love your no mask no Vax video!❤ keep it up!
Awesome.. Bryson good to see you here...
your a good man bro we need more people like you in this world
Bryson try to get in touch with his people yall could bring so many artist together, love your music too bro
Respect G
Wow. They will stop at nothing to keep you out of the game. I mean wouldn’t just blow their whole world if an independent artist blew all the “mainstream” artists out of the water. Keep up the good fight Brother.
Tom as a quality professional for 40+ years please understand about the data-collection company- "FIGURES NEVER LIE BUT LIARS ALWAYS FIGURE!!" Keep on GOING !
Purchased and downloaded on Amazon! Keep up the fight Tom! You're getting this kind of resistance ONLY because you've become a REAL threat to their whole industry!
They are scared of you Tom. You have surpassed their expectations. Please tell Nova great job! ❤️ It's a badge of honor being over the target. Smell the panic! They don't know what the hell to do. Love you both. Putting a glitch in The matrix.

Can't stand the music industry and the crap they've been handing us for 30 years. You're awesome and keep on doing you!
The music industry is just a psy-op bro. Along with Hollywood. They hate the fact Tom disrupts the static they created because he dispenses red pills like crazy 💊
17:17 Tom says: "Us Against The Industry" (title of Bryson Gray's new album)
You're making "The Brave" look like more than an album title. Your fan base is sure to continue to grow, as long as you continue to shoot straight. Good work! We are all proud of you, Nova, and everyone else involved in your adventure! The future is bright, Billboard or not.
Proud of you 👏 for fighting for the independent people.
Keep pushing regardless of the unfairness of these backward thinking data collection companies. I discovered your music today when I listened to Dax song he featured you in. Your musicianship is phenomenal and the message it carry is powerful.
Thanks for standing up for musicians. They need to be able to put their music out there for the public.
OMG Tom I can completely 1000% agree with you. I was opening for top line DJ’s, 1000’s of followers, thousands of downloads, even European tours. But I never existed 🤷🏻 all because I managed myself. The Music Industry is corrupted and if your not feeding them, your not getting fed. Miss the music world, but don’t miss the drama. You have so much talent.
This.
The American governmen, refuses to hear you Tom as well as Trudeau. You sir are a national treasure. Thank you for what you do. And Nova Rockefeller you are the shit.
Iam a not known yet independent french artist and i can say, you articulated this issue with brillance. And it's obvious that they want to sabotage your results so you don't overshadow the major label artist from which i maybe receive financial gain from. Its obvious its all corruption!!! But i took a look at your work and following/results and its impressive and i understand why they feel threaten! Keep the good work dude!
I have been where you are at in another industry. I feel so bad for you. We managed to succeed but it took years. I mean we were totally independent too.
I can explain the abnormally high sales: the music industry is selling manure disguised as music while independent artists are the only ones releasing quality songs. They can't afford to allow it to be so obvious that literally everyone can see that as fact! I plan to buy your album as a 54th birthday gift for myself. Keep up the quality music!
Sir! I wish we would have more people like you ! God Bless you, your family, an American people who stand up in they're own way! Shot gonna stop!
Unfortunately, unless you go through the “gate keepers” an independent artist doesn’t get the recognition they deserve. It is all about money. Because your money isn’t going to EMI, Sony, etc. they won’t allow you to play on the play ground.
It's not about money. It's about control and the manipulation of the power of influence. You control artists you automatically have access to the minds of the majority of the population.
@@universalpowder1682 I see a lot of ludicrous shit being sung about and glorified in "popular" media and it really does seem like a psychological operation to destroy any semblance of healthy cultural norms.
@@enjoixander Never said that. What do you think culture is? Culture is created everyday. Influence and culture are married, can't have on or the other.
@@universalpowder1682 You got it. The money is just a bonus to them. Ditto with movies and advertising. Did Proctor and Gamble care when their Gillette advert copped flack? Do Coke care when boycotted over pushing CRT?
They're all part of the social engineering of who they regard as plebs or useful idiots.
I for one certainly don't want to be in their treehouse.
Tired of Greedy corporations 🤨
You are right. You (we) are assured to overcome ... just keep on saying.
It is so funny how you kept coming up on my you tube feed over and over and I kept looking at you and thinking why would you tattoo your face as much as you have. I finally realized there was a message for me and you have hit the nail on the head and I wished I could speak the truth so gracefully as you can. I don’t care for rap and the more I listened, the more I saw your tattoos as such depth of you are and the intense message you have for all of us!
Thank you! You have lifted my spirits in such a difficult time of my life, so please keep being you!
I sold 54,000 albums mixed physical and digital, via distrokid and my own hand to hand sales, which would have put me in the top 100 for indie artists and they gave me the run around over and over til the year was over then told me im not eligible for the 2021 charts... they dont want us to shine
If you don’t mind sharing, how did you sell 54,000 albums independently? I’m curious.
@@JohnnyMontilla physcial around my city and word of mouth. Digital, bandlab, band camp, reverberation, Apple music, deezer, etc.
@@ZenStarwalker mad respect for boots on the ground musicians. Tough work
