The music industry promises fame and fortune but there
is never a promise that these rewards will come without
struggle. Almost every successful music artist who is now
enjoying the rewards of achieving their dreams within the
industry has stories to share about the lessons that they
learned the hard way. Brox-born rap music artist King Fed
is a self-made success, his break-out track ‘Well Okay’
climbed the top 40 charts on its release and he’s still
riding high on the wave of his successes. But his triumphs
within the music industry were hard-earned and fought for.
Here he shares the lessons that the music
industry taught him the hard way.
King Fed has always had a passion for lyrical creation,
it’s a skill that he’s been cultivating since he first
bstarted experimenting with poetry in middle school. He
developed a talent for weaving words with music, combining
them to create something evocative; his own unique sound,
a sound that he felt passionate about. It was following
this passion that taught him his first hard lesson. That
lesson was that music is an art form but it is also a
business. The music industry is built on multi-million
-dollar contracts and millionaire-making label deals,
and King Fed explains that he learned the hard way that
having a passion for music isn’t enough to make it in
the industry, you need to view yourself and your music as
a precious commodity. The second lesson that King Fed says
the music business taught him the hard way was that as an
artist you need to fight for your place within the
industry. No one is going to hand you the success you
seek, you need to stand up and take it, he says that he
learned early in his career that it was up to him to fight
for what he wanted. The third lesson that King Fed shares
came to him the hard way is that you need to use your pain
to truly become a music artist. Calling on your raw
personal experiences is he says, the only real way
to become a true and authentic artist. No matter
how painful it might be he discovered that to
create music that reaches listeners and resonates
with them, you have to be completely open and honest.
King Fed’s newest single ‘Burning Bridges’ comes amid
what is undoubtedly the biggest period of growth in
King Fed's career. His Spotify has been buzzing
with new listeners from across the globe, especially
from the United Kingdom. The New York rapper’s newest
banger features UK artist Hated 28, and it's already
getting rave reviews. King Fed's label 5th Dimensional
Entertainment described ‘Burning Bridges’ as the perfect
blend of New York and UK drill music.
We are told that 5th Dimensional Entertainment has hired
an entirely new marketing staff and is focused on nothing
but building up the young rapper's catalog, listening
audience, and revenue stream. It's undeniable that
this is the season for artists who have been hard at
work long before they were locked away in our homes.
This trying time calls for those artists to dig into
their archives and release those gems they have had
stashed away, and King Fed does not disappoint.
