Inside the Playbook: Hit-Boy & Nima Nasseri on The Hidden Truth About Record Labels, Streaming & Artist Leverage

Ownership isn’t just a buzzword. It’s the difference between building a career you control and one that controls you.

In this clip, Hit-Boy, his manager Nima Nasseri, and I break down the mechanics of the modern music business through the lens of artists like Russ, who’ve built massive success independently. From the shift in revenue models and the evolving role of labels, to the rise of distribution companies and the power of catalogs, we explore how today’s artists can create real value on their own terms.

We also dig into the importance of a strong managerial ecosystem, the realities of streaming-era revenue, and how to position yourself for long-term wins in a constantly changing industry.

For artists, managers, and entrepreneurs, this is a roadmap for playing the game without giving up the keys.

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