3 Reasons Why Producers Won’t Make It In Music Industry 

I'm 30+ years in and these youngin’s need to hear this tough love from a veteran 💯🥃

Even though I’m still a beginner I continue to soak this man’s knowledge like a sponge.

#2 Was definitely a problem for me, and I ended up getting discouraged and "quitting" Now with a better head on my shoulders I'm starting all over ... it's a lot more fun when you doing things with the right mindframe and for the right reason.

The authenticity of this guy is organic. Thanks for ALWAYS keeeping it real

I don’t do this often, but Bolo made me react. “All facts!” Do it because you want to. The formalities will come.

Really appreciate you always sharing and dropping knowledge 💪💯

Thanks for this homie, I really needed to hear this. I agree wholeheartedly stay up G 💪🏽

I needed this. I really want to thank you for putting this video out and I appreciate all the info you give your viewers. I’m 31 years old and started out with fl10 demo when I was 21. I got married when I was 25 and fell off. After being divorced, I stumbled across Bolo’s channel and he motivated me to do what I love. I have a lot of unfinished beats to finish, so gotta get to that now!

All big facts bro!! I can tell that information came from a good place(heart)✊🏾... I'll definitely be asking some questions while I'm on my grind,lol. We appreciate the knowledge that u dont have to give us!!💯🙏🏾

Man look!! This is refreshing because although I can say I have been doing this for a LONG time, I know I have a lot to learn! Keep it up! 🙌🏾🙏🏾🤘🏾💯💯

Straight facts bro. That's why I've been trying to link up with you. so i can learn the game. I don't want to jump in head first. and make a lot of mistakes. You seem trustworthy. so that's why i chose to see if we could link up. If i have to pay for some of your time. we will figure something out. Great video bro.

What I've learned from this video is this: We have a tendency to get in our own way; and by not taking time to learn and to do what we should, we hurt ourselves even worse, especially in the long term. Thank you for this video.🙏🏽💜

dope content man been learning from u, thanks for always keeping it 💯

appreciate the advice, i currently just produce my own music but want to get into producing for other artists too so your channel is super inspiring and helpful in giving ways to think about and navigate the industry. x

You're 100%right Bolo. That use to be my problem back in the days. But then I learned to move my pride out the way. Things worked out for the better.

What up Bolo?! I really like this video. Being an amateur producer and watching this really makes sense! I literally took notes on all three points you mentioned in this video. Thanks for taking time out your busy schedule to drop gems! Much appreciated. Stay blessed!

“Well Bolo, I’ve been doing this for,…NAW MAN! “ 😂😂😂 I love the TRUTH you’re telling! Keep teaching and preaching Bolo! We all need your in sight and appreciate you 💯 for it too man. All your reviews, knowledge of the business and your opinions are valuable! And that’s whether people agree or not, hey, take it for what’s it worth in my opinion. Thanks man for always being straight with us. 👍🏽

I appreciate this a great deal. Thanks for dropping some gems.

loving these video!

I only do it for the love of the music. I have always been curious about the intricacies and so forth but never exactly set things in motion to try and "make it". For those that do I wish you success. I support you . I love the music with everything in me. I feel like if you make it we all win. Good luck guys! Thanks Bolo

Pure facts right here! Not gonna lie, I had very hard time adapting to change since the early 2000. One of things I’ve always tried to do is stay true to myself and create from the heart. The only problem is that I would refuse to adapt to change, which in a way makes me hardheaded. Anyhow, will take the advice from this video and keep pushing forward. Thanks Bolo and keep up the great work!👍🏾

Dude, you da man. Thanks for the calm realness. Also, major congrats on the 15 million singles sold. That’s huge man!

Great video, I have also been through it all like yourself. The key points that I advise people on is to be humble, creative, adaptable and get on with fellow creatives rather than putting on a fake front.

Appreciate you keeping it 💯🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

Everything in this resonated with me, and I needed to hear it!

Real Talk bro! I've been doing music for a long time as well and I'm still learning. I feel that I still have a long way to go. I'm always anxious to learn more with this music. Great video man. Keep doing your thang bro and many blessings to you and your family.

To be honest, this channel has been a blessing. Every day i play once of these. Learnt a lot and still learning

Much respect to you bro. This why I follow you so much. You speak the truth. And you def need to do a RU-vid live of what to know about the music business. And do a Q&A! Alot of us would really tune in and gain alot from you experience and knowledge. Fucc all them hardheads. You gotta plenty of followers who are ready and willing to absorb all the information your putting out. Just know your not wasting your time!! Props from Baltimore bro!! I can't wait to start releasing some of my own content here soon. I have a little bit of equipment and software. Just learning everything before I dive in head first lol. But your definitely an inspiration and a cool ass dude to follow and help with guidance through some of this unknown territory.

Love the honesty Bolo ! Great vid 👌

Love your content. I get alot out of your videos and I appreciate what you do for the production community. 💯 I agree

Don't know this brother personally , but I follow him . Truly is a straight up real dude ....Love your insight

That's exactly why I subscribe to your channel and I watch your RU-vid's all the time because you tell it like it is and you want to see people grow in the industry!

I love these type of videos. Your information helps and inspires me. 💯

Thank you Bolo! You're one of my favorites! I've learned a lot from your Channel. I went to school with a bunch of arrogant men, not that women can't be arrogant too. But it was very hard being a female and with men who knew no more than I did but fronted like they did. I ate a lot of humble pie. Your encouragement has helped me to finally put out my first release. Keep doing what you're doing!

Thank you for the word brother! I'm listening for sure..

Thanks bro!! This is what I needed to hear!!!!

thanks for the cool videos chief, take care!

I'm glad I found this channel. Your gonna help me be very successful in the music industry

Great video fam 🙏🏽

Knowledge, delivery and beats are all on point. Thanks Bolo!

Thanks for the info brother!

1. Adapt to change! 2. Learn the business side by reading books, listening to entertainment lawyers for contracts, listen to the OG's, & ask questions to have a successful business. 3. Don't be hard-headed! Be open to hearing other's mistakes so you don't make the same. Thanks for the 💎's Bolo, you a legend.

Thank you Bolo 🙏🏽. For sharing that useful info man I appreciate you. And look up to you I recently purchased the MPC Live 2. I was watching when C-note made a fye beat on your channel using that same machine an it was just inspiring. Call y’all please make more videos using the MPC Live 2? . Thanks

Great video man. I really agree with all of what you said.. I think I have to change a lot of stuff. This video gave me the idea how to make it better than in the past. Subbed and liked good stuff. Greetings Cryzor Beatz

thanks bolo!!! i learned alot . please make more vids like this one fam!!!

I agree with you whole hearted, I have a lot to learn. But I understand the process is key to everything,and I've learned to enjoy it.. thanks for being real 💯🚀

Thanks you really opened my mind 🙏🙏🙏💯💯

Love this knowledge. Thank you

Good information. I'm a hobbyist and plan to keep it there but it still nice to understand how the industry works. It gives insight to what artists and producers have to do to make it in the environment. I don't think I'm smarter than someone doing the work. You don't come to my job and tell me how to design and manufacture hardware so I come here humble and looking to learn your craft.

Appreciate the knowledge! Trying to learn the business is a task im trying to figure out for sure.

Thanks for the wisdom.Blessed...

Thank you for this gems, Bolo!

Big up Bolo, learnt alot!!

You are absolutely 100% right my brother. I have done promotions for Tommy Boy records many years ago and everything you have mentioned I had seen first-hand. Thank you for sharing the knowledge!!!🙌🏿👑💯

This is my second video of you that I watched right after the first video I subscribed to your channel and just wanted to say that I really like ur content 💯

Great wisdom bro bro ✅

KNOWLEDGE is wisdom & power speak it BOLO I understand u well from the studio to the stage & beyond thanks again for this knowledge adapt to change is the way to go.

I agree with all of it I know I am still a nobody but gotta learn something every day thru experience and also thru research. so yeah just keep going and keep learning stuff this is what I learn from the video

I brutally agree on everything you said.. you the truth bruh!

Thank you for this video I enjoy music!!! I am looking to get ahead and learn everything I can!!! I'm grasping on every element I can I'm treating the music business with respect, discipline, having a positive attitude, having ambition and dedication!!!. ✌🏾

Thanks for the wisdom brother

Great advice. Thank you.

Always open to learning new things to get better

I can throw beats all over social media every day, but there are so many talented people, that its easy to get drowned out and discouraged. If you were to bless us with that knowledge, I'd create new YT accounts just so I could give you more than 1 thumbs up! Most producers/beat makers stay bedroom musicians because we don't have anyone to guide us. Someone that's actually walked the walk. Great video!

I produce when I can, but only for fun. I’ve being doing this for a few years and I’ve earned about $7 on Distrokid ha! This video has definitely given me confidence to make music that sells, whether it be my next (2nd) release or something I do in the future. Thanks for sharing! Defo gonna share this video on my SM groups. ✌️

Appreciate your wisdom big bro

Bolo nothing but the truth ...💯...a sponge with no water will dry out over time....you absorbed all the knowledge over time to not dry out...thank you for sharing this truthful knowledge with us...💯👍

Thank you 💪🏾💯

Great video Bro the music industry is a lot to learn it’s not easy but if you make the right decisions to benefit yourself then it will work out for you. And it does take time it’s not over night to become successful.

You won my subscription Bolo...gems on gems💎💎💎

I'm an OG trying to start my production company.Good info sir,keep it coming.

Many thanks, Bolo!

Damn, you are right, I needed this video. The Bruce Lee method of adapting. Thanks, Enter the Dragon Quote (Mr. Han " Bolo" ! !! Rahhhh!)

It’s a lot of “industry experts” on social media with nothing to show for it & you can always tell. They have a lot of hard & fast rules about music and the music business but none of the results. When it comes to things like this you have to go to people who have actually done what you’re trying to do. I needed this video bc I have been feeling discouraged lately with the music but I am trying to push thru.
