[STAY LOW] (Being independent, artists disagreements & more)

Sober Soldiers, we've milled about the business of music most from an artist point of view and to their benefit. Today we get to hear the labels view. We headed over to Hallmark House to have a sit down with [STAY LOW] label heads Vaughn Thiel and Fred Kayembe on what keeps them going, how it is running a label. We also got to hear about some disputes that they heard with artists and how they handle stuff like that. There's a lot of knowledge darts being thrown on this one.

Right now we just doing laps around the track and hitting you with your most requested guests. Don Kilo has been on his way to the pod for a couple of years and we finally got to do it. On the day of his new offering's listening session we had a lengthy chat on a rooftop in Rosebank, where Kilo took us way back on his journey into music via football and trapping. We rounded things up on his latest album 'Loyal To The Plug'. On this episode, we see a side of Kilo that we've never experienced, which was impressive to witness. Press play and enjoy.
