BricksDaMane Talks Ways To Get Placements, Touring w Drake, Owning a Studio + More

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 👕 Producergrind Merch: http://bit.ly/ProducergrindMerch 0:44 Being Based in London 2:04 Difference Between UK and USA Culture 4:40 Benefits of Engineering 6:38 Pro's and Con's of Tour Life 7:55 Building and Owning Studios 9:16 Pros and Cons of Owning a Studio 11:47 Living Out The Whip for Months 15:45 Relationship With Quay Global 21:45 How Do I Get Into The Studio With Major Artists If I Don't Have a Big Name? 25:00 Rap game is all about D*** Riding? 28:00 Getting Placements in Different Ways 30:00 Its All About You and Your Brand 33:25 Producers Rapping 35:30 How To Maintain Relationships 37:23 Staying Independent Vs.
