His last album had crazy features and producers.
I'm not a fan but I will give him credit on that. He pays out his own pockets for that shyt. Lot of money too. Does a good job of taking guys on tour who help his brand/credibility. Couple years ago he took Benny The Butcher on the road. I def respect that.

SINY!!
Good for him! How much did he spend to make the album?

Outside of Chomp 2, he pretty much produces all of his material. Not having to pay producers/beatmakers means he keeps more of his $$$. The vid is a good watch. He explains how he is able to do it. He's a very sharp business man.

Say Indian Russ or something
Only Russ I know, doesn't rap
He's a QB

And does Drake even make that much a week off streams?

the only time I hear of this guy is when he's reminding us how successful he's been as an independent artist. It has to be as much of his brand as his music is at this point.

He said that’s how much he made off his masters catalog, not just streams. It’s more likely that his song(s) were recently used in a movie or commercial that he got a big check from. Russ isn’t streamed enough to make that consistently from just streaming.

This thread says a lot lowkey

Russ huge in real life and I won’t even say thecoli out of touch (but partly :hubie:)

But dude puts up big streaming numbers, sells out his SOLO tours, and legit makes more bread than a lot of rappers perceived as bigger than him.

Yet people STILL be shocked when they see his numbers. He’s completely right with how the mainstream tryna keep him out the light. No way the internet’s story about him is that much different from the real life one
I don’t think peoples shocked anymore. He makes this post every other month. People just don’t care, or at least the people he’s trying to convince doesn’t care. For his “successful” he tries to hard trying to convince of that or that. And didn’t he recently cancel or have to curtail one of those tours because of mental health?
