Inside the Playbook: Mag Rodriguez on How J. Cole Helped Transform His Music Tech Business

In this clip of The Manager’s Playbook, I sit down with Mag Rodriguez to unpack the exclusive J. Cole x EVEN collaboration celebrating the 10-year anniversary of Forest Hills Drive.

We get into how this drop went far beyond music; with unreleased tracks, an original audio series, real-time fan engagement, and a global livestream straight from Madison Square Garden.

Mag breaks down how the project came to life, what it taught him about navigating major label partnerships, and how trust and execution drive true fan connection.

This one’s a blueprint for any artist or builder thinking beyond the stream.

A conversation like this doesn't come cheap.
