#collab wav

[goodlucksnez]

So after listening to Zen's Wav, I had a idea to continue. So I gathered some friends and we continued the story with a little nod to @instarsandcrime as well!

So enjoy the continuation!

Al//astor: @onetrickponi

Lu//cifer: @zensations35

V//ox: @goodlucksnez

See below for script!

Alastor: Ah! The man of the hour! Just the person I was hoping to encounter…Now then. Time for a little r̴̈e̷͋g̵͛i̷͊c̷̉ǐ̵d̷̃ë̴́

Lucifer: Oh no…*sneeze* Not you again. What is it this time?

Alastor:  As it turns out, sire, not only do you bestow hellish grace upon your subjects, but pestilence as well! ’Allergies.’ Hah! I should have known. 

Lucifer: Well if someone hadn’t insisted I come on their show with only two days notice!

Alastor: Aha-hA!  If someone would answer their phone more than once a month, your nibs–

*Lucifer sneezes*

Alastor: Well. Glad to see your smoky sternutations aren’t exclusive to my studio, at least. Goodness, I do hope this wallpaper is flame-resistant.*ṣ̶͐n̸̺͐ḙ̸̽e̸̲͂z̸̩͋i̷̠͐n̴̨̊g̸̩̿* Pardon.

Lucifer: Hey! Don’t bust out my lights! I’m working on an important project!

Alastor: And now no one has to see it! Pity. :)

*Voxtech Show Theme Plays*

Vox: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the most electrifying news show in the multiverse! I’m your host, Vox,  and I’m here to deliver the latest headlines with a dash of charisma, a sprinkle of wit, and a whole lot of tea *clinking cup* *cup falls* 

Vox: *ignoring fallen cup* Tonight on our program we will go over the most recent broadcast from the King of Hell and the less important interviewer *cackle*

Vox: Ahh how good it feels in my studio! I must say our brand is perfection, it just won't do for anything Less. Than. That. *snigger*  

Vox: Unlike a certain old tyrant my studio is made for the highest of royalty. So if any princes or kings want a real experience, come down to Vees tower and I would love to give you a personalized tour from the Man in Charge. 

Alastor: *sneezing* Pompous, vicious little prick…

Lucifer: Ugh.. *sniff* I hate that guy…”Man in Charge”? And they call me prideful??

Vox: I mean really you just walk in, and it’s chaos. Papers everywhere, coffee stains on the desk, *laugh* it isn't even in a proper studio but an old water tower! Talk about tacky. Unprofessional, if you ask me. But here? Every cable is tucked away, every surface polished--

[Vox continues his spiel while Alastor sneezes]

Alastor: *sneezing* 

Vox:-- to a mirror sheen. We believe in excellence, not just in our content but in our environment, that that is what VoxTex is here to provide you. So, when you tune in to our show, rest assured, you’re getting the crème de la crème. Quality, class, and cleanliness–

Alastor: That isn’t even properly alliterative…

Lucifer: Are you kidding me? His place is a walking fire hazard! Or, not walking. Standing? But I know fire hazards! Man, I wish I could just…*sneezes*

Alastor: HaHAh!…Well, then I’m sure you will appreciate this next bit, Sire.

Vox: *sniffling* *sneezing* I must apologize, my dear viewers *sneezing*  but it seems that even the most prepared among us can be caught off guard. It appears I’m having a bit of a g̶͎͑-̵̓ͅg̵̪̑-̷̖͠G̴̥͒L̶̟̈I̷͈͑T̵̀͜C̸̣͝H̸̖͒—nothing serious, but we believe in safety first here at Vox industries.

*Vox continues sneezing throughout his spiel*

Vox: We’re all about transparency and this is as real as it gets. Fucking bitch! I’m going to step off for a moment to take care of this, and in the meantime, we’ll be ending today’s broadcast a tad earlier than scheduled. FuckI’mgonnafuckingkillhim--Our team is top-notch, and they’ll ensure everything is handled with the utmost professionalism. Thank you for your understanding. We’ll be back on air tomorrow, bright and shiny as ever, ready to bring you the stellar content you love. 

Vox: Cut it! That fucking bitch, I know this is his doing I’m gonna kill him!!

Alastor: *sneezing* *laughing* 

Lucifer: Hoh yeah! Highfive!

Alastor: I beg your pardon?

Lucifer: You…you just take your hand and…uhh…*high five sound*

Alastor: Mmm I suppose. But don’t make a habit out of this, sire.

Lucifer: Eheh…okay…

🎙️The official ✨👥Snz Wav Friends👥✨ server is now open!!!🎙️

If yall remember, @kushamiqueen and a buncha other cool peeps collaborated to make a cozy lil server for wav/vid creators and enjoyers alike, to lend each other helping hands! We can share ideas, collab, troubleshoot and offer advice, share wacky snemes– pretty chill all-around 😌

If that sounds like your vibe, join in and let’s rave about wavs! 💃

[ticklessobad]

so hear me out, you collab with someone to make a wav, willing to pull off a Zelda impression, while you play as Link, that way they do most of the talking, and you just do the fun part

just an idea obviously

(this is in response to the OOT audio idea)

I love this idea! Just gotta pull an actual Link and find the princess now 🙃

[spirittokenupdates]

Boxie and Eepy Central ✨

An update page dedicated to archiving content and providing updates on the bands Sleep Token and Spiritbox!

Current Album Cycles:

Spiritbox: Tsunami Sea

Sleep Token: Even In Arcadia

Generally I will posts typical updates such as Album/New Music Releases, Tour/Show Annoucements, things of that nature. I will only do merch drop updates if it is a major drop (like Album Collections) Or collabs with major brands (i.e. Shibori Threads). The only exception is with Physical Music drops of any kind (CDs, Vinyl, Casettes) since they tend to be infrequent.

I will also reblog photography and videos from other blogs as well after shows/special events. I will only ever repost from official photographers who will either be sourced or credited in each post. Any other photography will be reblogged from the photographer themselves.

(GIF creds aquaaregia)

Admin

This page is run by one person and one person only ! You may just refer to me as "Admin" or "Silly" if yer feeling extra goofy (I refuse to put my actual name on Sleep's internet) you can find my main/spam blog over at @etrnl-blu and my art blog at @etrnlbluarts !

I will try to be on top of updates as much as I possibly can but as we all know life happens and I may not be consistent 100% of the time. Please be paitient and don't spam me with "you missed 'x'!!!"

(Pro Tip: mute the tag #admin yapping if you would like to see update posts only! I will also sometimes use #kinda admin yapping if it is somewhat related to an update)

Asks

Asks will be open peroidically during off-periods when not much content is being released. Anons will be off because anyone who puts the ST member's real identities in there will be publicly shamed (you have been warned) I will make a seperate post whenever they are open.

(If asks and/or anons are closed on this page, please do not send asks related to this blog on my other blogs. I usually have them turned off for a reason and I will ignore them.)

No-No's

Any mentions of the ST member's real identities in my notes and asks will earn you a block I do not fucking care lol

Any negativity towards either band or it's members for whatever reason it may be is annoying please just don't do it

Please keep interactions SFW. Objectification of either Vessel or Courtney (and all the other band members for that matter!) makes me wildly uncomfortable and I may or may not block you based on how horrific it is

[weeklyvocajournal]

Weekly Vocajournal #55 (25/11 - 01/12)

Palindrome entry! Starting from last entry I'm also trying to cap the "Other Cool Stuff" section to 10ish so it's not too overwhelming.

Yakohbay - Bizen no Hashi (ft. Kaai Yuki, Yuzuki Yukari)

This has to be the chillest, most non-exaggerated and natural Yukari rap I’ve ever heard. Which isn't a big category to be fair, but even if you take out the "Yukari" part it's still up there. That super squeaky & processed Kaai Yuki also feels fresh. Chill song with equally chill footage of a park in the PV.

NILFRUITS, Iyowa - Fireঌfly (ft. vflower)

Bombshell of a collab. Their styles mesh together nicely, and both of them had a hand in tuning flower, and you can really hear it.

osu - Jouyatou (ft. Megurine Luka)

Rock ballad with a Luka sound I like (whenever I say this it’s almost always a decent V2 Luka because I’m easy). Beautiful manga PV that I didn’t catch 100% of because it went by too fast but what I caught was very cozy and touching.

Babuchan - I Dreamed a Nightmare (ft. Hatsune Miku)

New babuchan! Feels like some of their older works, except instead of a synthetic dubstep drop it’s a much gentler orchestral one.

Eto - ill wo Kaishite (ft. Nurse Robot_Type T)

Chill electronic song. The kick and panned clicks add a texture I really like. First encounter with this producer and also pretty new in general (first song a year ago), will be keeping an eye out.

Other Cool Stuff

Yoll CAZAMI - a l l e r g y (ft. Kasane Teto)

Imanishi - Awanai (ft. Kaai Yuki)

Abu-Se-Ken - Bye Buy Mushroom (ft. Kagamine Rin) [flashing lights cw]

Kumama* - Sekai Rebuild Plan (ft. Kagamine Rin, Kazehiki, Kasane Teto, Eli Araste)

Fushi - Louder, Louder (ft. GUMI)

Naisho no Pierce - Birthday (ft. KAFU)

IDONO KAWAZU - 新奇ヘヰト (ft. Adachi Rei)

Bien - dialogue_record_with_HCI3-P0.wav (ft. Adachi Rei A.I VOICE, Nurse Robot_Type T VOICEVOX)

Sera。- Genius (ft. IA)

Usagi 3 - Tenshi Mitai da. (ft. Kagamine Len)

[mikurulucky]

Some modern AU related Johan et Pirlouit headcanons incoming!

Peewit blasts music almost all the time, annoying anyone who lives with him.

His favorite music to blast is metal, 80s hair metal, and grunge, the metal blasting is especially annoying for his roommate, Johan. He's usually the first person to tell him to turn it down.

Even Peewit's attempt at singing screamy metal music is terrible. No one knew how the roaring and screaming in a metal track can be off key until they heard HIM singing it lol.

He's even worse at singing 80s metal. His rendition of Welcome to the Jungle makes windows crack.

Peewit is actually pretty good at playing guitar and drums. It's mostly the singing he ain't good at. And recorder, but no one's that good at playing the recorder anyway lol.

Johan learned to play the piano when he was young and he has a fascination with synthesizers. He picked up an old beat up Yamaha DX-7 from a garage sale and got Homnibus's student, Oliver, to fix it up. He plays it a LOT.

Peewit more than likely has a soundcloud he posts his music to. He gets nothing but meme comments tho. His instrumental tracks do get actual good comments though, but he rarely makes those unless he's collabing with someone.

If we're talking 90s AU, then Peewit more than likely has a geocities page filled with photos of his goat, Biquette, dancing baby gifs, and shitty wav files of his attempts at making music.

Peewit's favorite music is pretty much anything with electric guitars, but especially grunge and hair metal. Johan is more into synthesizers and folk music. He's got a lot of new wave records and multiple folk music cassettes.

Both Johan and Peewit can sometimes be seen walking around their apartment in the nude (or at least in their underwear) when it's laundry day. Johan will at LEAST make an attempt to look decent if someone visits during those days. Peewit, however, has to be TOLD to put some fresh clean clothes on.

Johan went through an "I only wear black" phase during college and his favorite shirt ended up being a see through button up shirt be bought at Hot Topic. Girls and guys alike LOVED when he wore it at the time, but he'd be too busy with his studies half the time to even accept anyone's offers for a date. After college, he lost the shirt, and could only find similar shirts in other colors and with short sleeves. So he's got several see through shirts of various colors. He mainly wears them during warm days.

Count Tremaine was Johan's professor in his criminal justice classes. They sometimes run into each other in town outside of college.

Peewit once convinced Johan to play a synthesizer and sing in front of a camera and post it on Youtube in an attempt to lessen his singing shyness. The positive comments he got were enough to make him blush. He's done this more than once but still hardly sings in front of anyone in person unless he's especially close to someone (particularly if he's in a romantic relationship with them).

Johan likely earned a black belt in judo at one point. Don't mess with him lol.

Johan starred in a musical during college, but it took a LOT of time for him to even consider it. This actually helped him a lot with both overcoming his singing shyness (more than the youtube gig really) as well as his public speaking abilities. First role he got then was as Frederic in the Pirates of Penzance. Peewit auditioned for the role of the Major General but that role was given to someone else.

From Studio to Spotify: The Art of Releasing Your Album Across Platforms

Releasing music has never been easier, but ensuring it gets the attention it deserves is a challenge every artist faces. The dream of taking your work from the studio and sharing it with the world begins with a solid release strategy. While Spotify is a leading platform for music streaming, focusing solely on it might limit your potential. The key to maximizing your reach is to release your album on Spotify on multiple platforms, ensuring a wider audience discovers your talent. Let’s explore how to turn your studio creations into a global sensation.

The Importance of Multi-Platform Distribution

Streaming services are now the primary way people consume music, but no single platform dominates every audience. While Spotify commands a significant share, platforms like Apple Music, Amazon Music, and YouTube Music cater to millions of users with diverse tastes and habits. By distributing your album across multiple platforms, you increase its visibility, attract varied audiences, and create multiple revenue streams.

Multi-platform distribution also allows you to mitigate risks. If one platform changes its algorithms or payout policies, your music will still earn through others. Additionally, different platforms specialize in various user experiences. For instance, YouTube Music integrates video content, while Tidal appeals to audiophiles with high-quality sound.

Choosing the Right Distribution Partner

To release your album across platforms, you need a distribution service to handle the technicalities. There are many distributors available, each catering to different artist needs. Among them are DistroKid, TuneCore, CD Baby, and Deliver My Tune, all offering tools to help independent artists reach global audiences. Here’s what you should know about them:

Deliver My Tune: A newer but rapidly growing option, it supports global distribution and ensures your music reaches key markets.

Choosing the right distributor depends on your goals, budget, and the level of control you want over your release.

Preparing Your Album for Release

Before uploading your music, there are several steps to ensure a successful launch. First, focus on your music’s quality. Take the time to finalize your mixes and invest in professional mastering to deliver polished tracks. Today’s audiences have access to high-quality audio and will quickly move on if your music doesn’t meet expectations.

Equally important is the visual aspect. Design a compelling album cover that resonates with your brand and attracts attention. Platforms like Spotify and Apple Music often highlight visually striking releases, so don’t underestimate this step.

Metadata plays a critical role in distribution. Your album's title, track names, and artist details must be accurate, as these elements help listeners find your music. Additionally, include genres and tags that best describe your sound to improve discoverability.

Uploading Your Album to Spotify and Other Platforms

Once your music and artwork are ready, the next step is uploading your album. Your chosen distributor will guide you through this process, which typically includes:

Uploading high-quality audio files, usually in WAV or FLAC format.

Entering metadata, such as track titles, release dates, and credits.

Selecting platforms where your album will be available, including Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube Music.

Setting a release date. Many distributors recommend scheduling your release weeks in advance to allow time for promotion.

Some distributors, like Deliver My Tune, offer additional features such as playlist pitching and region-specific marketing tools, which can give your music an edge in competitive markets.

Promoting Your Album Across Platforms

Distribution alone isn’t enough to ensure success; promotion is key. Start by creating a buzz on social media platforms. Share teasers, behind-the-scenes footage, and album countdowns to engage your audience. Collaborate with influencers and other artists to expand your reach further.

Take advantage of Spotify for Artists to pitch your tracks for playlist inclusion. Getting featured on popular playlists can significantly boost your streams. Similarly, use analytics tools provided by platforms to track your album's performance and refine your promotional strategy.

For other platforms, consider tailoring your approach. On YouTube Music, upload lyric videos or live performances. Engage with fans through comments and community posts to build loyalty. On Tidal, highlight your album’s audio quality to appeal to audiophiles.

Conclusion

Releasing your album on Spotify is a great start, but to truly maximize your reach and earnings, you must release your album on Spotify on multiple platforms. By doing so, you tap into diverse audiences, increase your exposure, and future-proof your career in the ever-evolving music industry. From choosing the right distributor like Deliver My Tune to promoting your work across social media, every step you take brings your music closer to its audience. With the right strategy, your studio sessions can transform into a global success story.

Mistakes to Avoid When You Upload Your Music on YouTube in 2025

Uploading your music on YouTube in 2025 can be a game-changer for your music career. With millions of daily viewers and advanced tools tailored for creators, YouTube provides an unparalleled platform for artists to share their work and connect with fans. However, making mistakes during the upload process can hurt your chances of success. Whether it’s neglecting metadata or ignoring audience engagement, these missteps can prevent your music from reaching its full potential.

In this article, we’ll explore the most common mistakes artists make when uploading music on YouTube and how to avoid them, so you can maximize your visibility and grow your fanbase.

Poor Audio Quality: The Number One Dealbreaker

Why Quality Matters in 2025

With advancements in audio and video technology, audiences expect high-quality sound. Poor audio quality not only affects the listener's experience but also reduces your credibility as an artist.

Common Causes of Bad Audio

Recording with inadequate equipment.

Failing to mix and master tracks properly.

Uploading compressed files that lose sound clarity.

How to Avoid This Mistake

Invest in professional recording equipment or book studio time.

Ensure your track is properly mixed and mastered before uploading.

Use high-quality audio formats like WAV or high-bitrate MP3s for your uploads.

Skipping Metadata Optimization

What is Metadata and Why is It Crucial?

Metadata includes your video’s title, description, tags, and other information that helps YouTube’s algorithm understand your content. Without optimized metadata, your video is less likely to appear in search results or recommendations.

Common Metadata Mistakes

Generic titles that don’t include keywords like "Upload your music on YouTube in 2025."

Short descriptions with no relevant details about your song or artist profile.

Failure to use tags or relying on irrelevant ones.

Steps to Optimize Metadata

Craft a Compelling Title: Use your song name along with descriptive keywords like "2025 music tips" or "new indie track."

Write a Detailed Description: Include a short story about the song, credits, and links to your other platforms.

Select Relevant Tags: Use tags related to your genre, mood, and audience.

Ignoring Thumbnails and Visuals

Why Thumbnails Are Vital

Thumbnails are the first thing viewers see, and an eye-catching one can significantly increase clicks. A poorly designed or irrelevant thumbnail can discourage potential listeners.

Mistakes with Thumbnails

Using random images unrelated to the song.

Failing to include text or branding on the thumbnail.

Using low-resolution or blurry images.

Tips for Effective Thumbnails

Design custom thumbnails with vibrant colors and readable text.

Include elements that represent the mood or theme of your music.

Use tools like Canva or Photoshop to create professional visuals.

Neglecting Audience Engagement

The Role of Interaction in Growing Your Channel

YouTube thrives on community engagement. Ignoring your audience can result in lower retention and fewer repeat viewers.

Engagement Mistakes Artists Make

Not responding to comments on videos.

Failing to ask viewers to like, share, or subscribe.

Ignoring fan suggestions or requests for specific content.

How to Build Stronger Engagement

Respond to comments within the first 24 hours of posting.

Use calls-to-action (CTAs) in your video and description.

Host Q&A sessions or live chats to interact directly with fans.

Overlooking YouTube’s New Features in 2025

What’s New for Musicians?

YouTube in 2025 offers several features designed to help artists grow. These include music-specific analytics, Shorts for quick engagement, and advanced monetization options. Failing to utilize these tools is a missed opportunity.

Common Mistakes with Features

Ignoring "YouTube Shorts" as a promotional tool.

Not using "Collab Playlists" to collaborate with other artists.

Skipping the analytics section to track audience behavior.

Leveraging These Features

Create engaging Shorts showcasing your music’s highlights.

Collaborate with fellow artists to expand your reach.

Use YouTube Analytics to refine your content strategy.

Uploading Without a Strategy

The Importance of Planning

Randomly uploading your music without a clear strategy can result in inconsistent results. YouTube’s algorithm favors channels with regular, strategic uploads.

Signs of a Poor Upload Strategy

Irregular posting schedule.

Inconsistent branding across videos.

Failure to promote new uploads on other platforms.

Tips for a Successful Strategy

Set a consistent upload schedule, such as weekly or biweekly.

Use cohesive branding, including intros, outros, and channel art.

Promote your uploads on social media, email newsletters, and music forums.

Ignoring Copyright and Legal Issues

Understanding Copyright Rules

YouTube has strict copyright policies, and violating them can result in penalties or channel takedown. Some artists unintentionally upload content that infringes on others' rights.

Common Copyright Mistakes

Using unlicensed samples or beats.

Failing to credit collaborators or co-creators.

Overlooking YouTube’s copyright claim notifications.

How to Stay Compliant

Ensure you have proper rights or licenses for any third-party content in your video.

Credit everyone involved in creating the track or visuals.

Regularly check your YouTube dashboard for copyright notices.

Relying Only on YouTube for Promotion

The Pitfall of Limited Outreach

Many artists believe uploading their music to YouTube is enough. While YouTube is a powerful platform, it works best when combined with other promotional efforts.

Problems with Solely Using YouTube

Limited audience reach.

Lack of cross-platform engagement.

Missing out on potential fans from other channels.

Expanding Beyond YouTube

Share your videos on Instagram, TikTok, and Twitter.

Send email newsletters with links to your new uploads.

Engage with music communities on platforms like Reddit or Discord.

Conclusion

Uploading your music on YouTube in 2025 can open doors to countless opportunities, but avoiding common mistakes is crucial to making an impact. From optimizing metadata and visuals to leveraging YouTube’s new features, every detail counts in standing out among the competition. Remember to prioritize audience engagement, plan strategically, and expand your promotional efforts beyond YouTube to maximize your reach.

By learning from these mistakes and implementing the right strategies, you’ll set yourself up for success as a musician in the digital age.

Music Fans Think G-Eazy’s Verse on ATEEZ’s ‘Work’ Remix Is a Callout to Halsey: ‘This Was Not on My Bingo List’

G's mention of Libras raised eyebrows in his new remix to the K-pop group's No. 1 hit.

With the newly released version of ATEEZ’s No. 1 single “Work” poised to make crossover impact for the K-pop group via the all-English remix featuring G-Eazy, the rapper’s verses have also sparked speculation among fans online that he used the track to take a jab at his ex-girlfriend, Halsey.

Released Friday, Aug. 9, the “Part 4” remix of “Work,” which topped World Digital Song Sales in June for ATEEZ’s first chart-topper on the ranking, features G-Eazy delivering a verse that has fans talking: “Actin’ innocent, no, it’s not your first time/We’re far away if Libra is her sign/ Oof, danger, danger (Danger, danger)/Don’t be a stranger (Don’t be a stranger)/ She said no one can save her.”

This particular line has drawn attention due to Halsey’s Sept. 29 birthday, making her a Libra and leading to widespread speculation that the lyrics could be a thinly veiled reference to his experiences and their past relationship. The stars were in a highly publicized relationship from 2017 to 2018 before an abrupt breakup in July 2018. While neither has spoken up directly about what ended their time together, both artists have released music that fans believe alludes to their breakup. Halsey has also previously mentioned being in an “abusive relationship,” though she has never explicitly confirmed if G-Eazy was involved.

After the collaboration’s release, one user on X (formerly known as Twitter) wrote that they “got weirded out when he sings that [because] I immediately remember Halsey…this is ATEEZ’s song why tf did u make it about u.” One X user added, “A collab of all things to make a little diss at your ex,” with another saying, “G-Eazy shading Halsey in a K-popcollab…this was not on my bingo list AT ALL.”

As some fans have noted, the particular lyrics in G-Eazy’s verse stand out against the backdrop of ATEEZ’s original message in “Work,” which is about focusing in on pushing toward your goals and achieving success. One fan on X wrote, “We’re talking about clocking in and he’s over here harassing his ex.”

Indeed, the K-pop group sings about the hustle in lines like, “I like to party when it’s a party/That’s payin’ me to pull up” and the addictive chorus of “Gotta work, gotta work / Gotta make that money, make purse.” G-Eazy later adds, “Work, flex, work, flex, always in the lab/ How I earn checks/ Hundred thousand dollars for a verse, yes/Wouldn’t lift a finger if it were less.”

The collaboration comes after ATEEZ’s established admiration for Halsey. The K-pop group’s fans, known as ANTINY, know the members frequently share music recommendations: Both Wooyoung and Jongho have shared their fondness for “Boy With Luv,” her hit collaboration with BTS, Yeosang has recommended Halsey’s chart-topping Billboard Hot 100 hit “Closer” with The Chainsmokers to fans. Mingi has also praised G-Eazy’s work, notably his Hot 100 hit “Me, Myself & I” featuring Bebe Rexha, and previously recommended Calvin Harris’ Funk Wav Bounces Vol. 2 album, where Halsey features on two tracks.

Representatives for G-Eazy nor ATEEZ did not return Billboard‘s request for comment at press time.

Even if the potential diss has dominated most of the conversation, it’s important to recognize the latest steps in ATEEZ’s barrier-breaking 2024 that includes multiple “Work” remixes, being named an “Up Next” star in Variety’s Young Hollywood Impact Report, and the ongoing [Towards the Light : Will to Power] in North America arena and stadium tour that just took over New York’s CitiField on Saturday, Aug. 2. This year has also been momentous for G-Eazy with the June 21 release of his seventh studio album, Freak Show, marking his first full-length project in nearly three years, which precedes a world tour hitting North America, Europe, Australia and New Zealand through this and next year.

Today, we met with Rose. We went over various amount of things such as the difference between an Mp3 and Wav file, how to export stems and import them, and how to send a flp (FL Studio Project) to collab on projects with other artist.
