BricksDaMane interview on the Producergrind Podcast. Bricks stopped by the office for our second interview of 2019. We asked him about his humble beginnings as a young producer who had to live in his car for a few months until he got on his feet and eventually opened his own studio in Atlanta and started getting placements with rappers like Drake, Young Thug Kevin Gates, Gunna, & Lil Wayne. We talked a lot about branding and how important it is to build clout as a producer or rapper in 2019. He also talked about why he moved to the UK and lives there now. Bricks also talks about why he has stayed independent and would never sign to a label! We also asked Bricks what to do if a rapper uses your beat without paying you or reaching out to handle business. ? Sound Kits: http://bit.ly/ProducergrindKits ?
