Family, we are live right now. This week's lecture is Building In Public: the real 11 days before the BET stage. We are recapping the Akai show, opening the White Butterfly rollout, and I am introducing our newest VIP, Manny, our new Director of Content.

Every Tuesday we talk doctrine, systems, the business. Tonight we do something I never do. I'm taking my actual hits APART. Live. Off the MPC. 🎵 Birthday Cake — Rihanna 🎵 Anaconda — Nicki Minaj 🎵 A$$ — Big Sean 🎵 The Don — Nas The room. The sample. The miracle. The lesson. How these records REALLY got made, piece by piece. This isn't a flex. A hit is a little miracle. I caught lightning a few times and I'm still chasing the next bolt right alongside you. So let's study the miracle together. Free. Bring one friend who makes music. Members eat first. This is the preview of the full forensics class going down Thursday. Pull up https://us06web.zoom.us/j/89536201687?pwd=7bvHU6yqjfcvXBBajJDTERsas0LSRc.1

I have been saving my little pennies for some time and FINALLY I was able to get my Apollo Twin! 🚨🚨🚨 When I tell you it took me a full WEEK to get the software and the interface to work with my Mac M5, changing security settings, pulling up with my producer community, and calling the dag gone sweet water and UA agents but I’m outchea yall 😂😂 The music is about to sound real expensive over here and I’m so excited for it. *insert cheese grin* 😏 The journey continues…elevation on constant. 💫💫💫 The intern never graduates. 🎓📚

Another one for the books 💣 Thank you @Kosine Palacios and friends for another great session, tonight was epic. @Taurean Rideau song was complete FIRE as per usual. Your elevation is a blessing to experience. Kenny is calling 😏 I took so many notes but the best part was witnessing the camaraderie. The energy was felt and a testament in real time to the importance of building with others. It may not always feel good but when you find your people and lock in, you appreciate it so much more. For now and as @Kosine Palacios said in one of our past sessions . . .it’s good to get in on the ground floor. 💯 The intern never graduates. 🎓📚

Family. We didn't have class last week and I felt it. I missed this room. I missed y'all. So I'm coming back tonight with everything I got. And listen, I'm excited about this one. The room keeps growing, more of us every Tuesday, and tonight we cook for real. We call it The Kookout, and you do not want to miss your plate. Tonight's plate: THE SIGNATURE. Why AI can copy your sound but never your soul. Your choices, your story, your 10,000 hours, the one thing in this business that can never be undercut on price. Cold open: a J. Cole clip from 2011 nobody has seen in 14 years. Studio with Da Internz, Roc Nation era. What he said that day became a receipt I'm still cashing. This plays once and it's gone, so pull up early.
