Inside the Playbook: Tuma Basa on How YouTube Replaced MTV for Artists

YouTube isn’t just for views. It’s for building worlds.

In this episode, we unpack why YouTube remains one of the most powerful tools in an artist’s strategy, especially in an era where the music business has shifted from gatekeeping to global access.

Tuma Basa breaks down how to actually use the platform: consistency, storytelling, thumbnails, appointment drops, and understanding the full power of its grid.

We also get into the deeper layer; why content is now infrastructure, how to lead with value, and why people like Wallo267 are reshaping the game by giving back what they’ve learned.

Simply put, a conversation like this doesn't come cheap.
