Zim Music Store: The Podcast

The crazy thing is we first recorded something like this with Da Kid Verse leading up to the release of his album "The Father of the Son". We had to bring him back. This time around we dug deep into who he is, what inspires him and more importantly into the Ghetto story that he often tells in his music. It was a good laugh.

Some of the things we covered:

History (Those who don’t know)

Journey of the artist as a paintbrush

What could be better in ZHH

What could be better in the music industry as a whole

Our platform

Creative process

Your Marketing

Your Distribution

Key lessons so far
