Welcome to our 100th episode of the Cheat Code Podcast, where we're "Keeping it 100 for our 100th"! 

In this monumental episode, we dive straight into the heart of the music industry, discussing the intricate dynamics between artists, record labels, and business savvy. Join us as we celebrate the success stories of independent labels like Strange Music and TDE, highlighting the power of self-sufficiency in today's music landscape.

We take a moment to honor the legendary Killer Mike for his recent Grammy wins and commend his impactful community activism. Amidst the celebrations, we pause to acknowledge the significance of reaching this milestone and express our gratitude to our listeners for their unwavering support.

Turning our focus back to the business of music, we dissect the importance of synergy in propelling artists and records to new heights. With TikTok emerging as a dominant force in music discovery, we emphasize the value of cultivating fan-generated content to foster deeper connections with audiences.

Delving into a thought-provoking discussion, we challenge conventional notions of success and redefine what it means to be a "loser" in the music industry. We explore innovative revenue streams, including platforms like Even.Biz, empowering artists to embrace fan funding and monetize their craft in unprecedented ways.
