In this clip, DJ Akademiks and DJ Vlad discuss the unpredictability of an album release from a major record label. DJ Vlad refers to a recent project by Stunna 4 Vegas and states that his fan engagement has declined even though it's a good album and it has big features. To that, DJ Akademiks says that he has gained a lot more respect for self-made record executives like Birdman for consistently finding the most prolific rappers in the game that justify his financial investments. From there, DJ Akademiks tips his cap to Jay-Z for figuring out ways to generate numerous revenue streams outside of owning a record label.
