my man jabari is taking his brand to the next level. after establishing himself as the face of HipHopGame TV and one of the trillest journalists out there in the hip hop world, he’s on to his next project: #ArtistAdvice. from the man himself:

“With all the aspiring artists out there today I wanted to create a platform where they could gain valuable advice so some common mistakes made may be eradicated. #AritstAdvice is for anyone to give and receive in hopes to create better artists all around.”

with that being said, listen to the advice that fayetteville, NC recording artist and roc nation signee j. cole has to spread to those up-and-comers, as well as the vets that may need to adjust due to today’s musical climate. oh, and you may just hear a shout out at 1:19. because we are f*cking official. don’t let anybody tell you differently, either. ha, to be honest, i had to bring it back when i heard that, because i didn’t believe it. but yeah, it just happened. good looks, mr. cole. oh, and also, you can see my barber shop in the backdrop of the location, which also happens to be where the commonwealth, the greater good, and stussy stores are located.

shout out to jabari for the great idea, and i expect to see more solid joints like this in the future. wzup to herfection and PMD, too.
