Scaling Your Creative Business in the Music Industry

Ignore your parents' advice and those who say we need more engineers and architects, not rappers. I disagree. We need more artists to protect our culture and the future of music. Hip Hop is technology. It didn’t come from Harvard; it came from the inner-city ghettos of America. In 2024, the global hip-hop industry is booming, valued at $26.2 billion with an annual growth rate of about 10%.
