Nametag taps in with his second oldest brother Zo for episode 68. For those of you who are familiar, Nametag's family has a fairly rich history involving music business/entertainment. 'Zo shares his background of a brief run as a Rapper (known as "Caeto") in a group with their older brother Black Bethoven and friends, as well as why he decided to step away from being a performing artist. Zo gets more transparent with discussing his dealings with Psoriasis and why he leans more into being an advocate for others dealing with the same. He also gives a very diverse take on what roster of Emcees and Producers he'd choose if he were to run a record label.

Besides diving into speaking about Valid's latest album release, "MIHAJLO" they discuss, his strong grassroots level approach as an independent artist. They get into the importance of planning and execution for music releases, being against pay for play, and Valid gave a dope analysis on why it's difficult to label newer albums as classics.

A lot of good independent music talk covered in this episode featuring Music producer, engineer and also Nametag's older Brother, Black Bethoven. Nametag confirms why he had the original release of their collab project, "Hello Victory" removed from music streaming platforms, only to later re issue it via Soul Spazm Digital (shoutout to DJ Soko). Black Bethoven speaks to the importance of brands having longevity, and why Independent musicians must network offline as well. The convo gets even more interesting, when Nametag mentions a Facebook status from Jesse Atkinson (of Urban Threshold) speaking on looking to start an Independent Music Artist Stock Exchange. The re issue of "Hello Victory" is available now on all major platforms to stream and buy music. Work. Win. Repeat.
