@ogarrt 2 жыл бұрын
that’s how it is in rap the rapper the main attraction. rappers have to embrace the producer via shouting them out in a song, moshing with them on stage, getting them in music vids etc. you have to branch out to other stuff like edm or fashion or videographer to be known as an entity
