Thats another interesting bit:
There is no such thing as a modern urban artist who has matured blueprint so he'd have to make it. This is the same thing that Abel is wrestling with as this isn't the old days where there were game plans of legends laid down you could trace as the game has changed and this is where so many artists are struggling to fit in and find progress via evolution without losing their fanbase and bricking.
Must be so wack as an artist in that sense to have to keep on dialing it in on a creative treadmill as you play it safe.
thats why Lucky Daye etc type male singers just drop fire ass EP's go on tour runs and just enjoy life.
I met Leon Bridges just on the humble a few months back and he was just saying yeah the tour life is cool and its OK if he doesn't like BLOW UP cause hes' got a core fanbase and thats OK.
