We had the good fortune of connecting with Blk Shaggy and we’ve shared our conversation below.
Hi Blk, we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?
It really was a trial and error kind of thing, I knew I always wanted to be an artist But it wasn’t so easy. So I kept revising my marketing technique limited on funds but not ideas. At first I thought I knew it all but I realized there’s much more of a strategic aspect to the business Which wasn’t understood. So it was frustrating but exciting to see at the same time
Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
My art isn’t something you can make in 15 seconds just go in the studio & record. In Most cases The reason we would consider a song like that “hot” is mainly the production, And that shows where our values lie (*hence why we’d even accept a song like that) So whatever energy you get on a track from me will always be a refreshing experience. There’s something everyone can benefit from & I would consider my sound to be the most unique & Distinct out. I’m most excited & Proud About the overall Growth & Experience. So far I’ve met some really cool people & a lot of shady people in this business but it all teaches you a lesson, you have to have a plan, he who fails to plan plans to fail . How I got where I am today is just by taking that first step. How can we be in a race if we don’t at least take that first step? Is it always easy to wake up and run at 5am because you wanna be in shape for whatever reason? no. If we never try we never know. It wasn’t easy building the platform I have today. A lot of times we have to overcome ourselves before we can begin to receive anything in life .it’s our own minds that tell us we can’t have things in life, because it’s all we’ve been hearing from birth from others. And that same answer plays in your head when you think of succeeding. So I started changing by doing everything I felt I couldn’t do on a daily basis because I realized that I was lacking confidence due to my inconsistency. So I had to mix the two, Consistency with marketing techniques. Because business never stops Walmart never closes why would I be resting? I haven’t put enough work in yet. The lessons I’ve learned are be true to who you are. We are more than what we see or think we know about ourselves. We have enough going on in our professional lives ie drug dealer, (doctors & Street pharmacists) working a job, selling merch your a Magician (real or fake) etc it doesn’t matter be all YOU can be not what someone else can be meaning take interest in yourself mental health is necessary..
Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
Yes, Each & Every Ancestor ever first & foremost wouldn’t be here today without them. My family (not the bros & the blood cousins) The ones who genuinely care about the growth of the future & the overall well-being of humanity. So I’m shouting out pretty much any like minded individual who is geared toward the more positive aspects of life.
