In Episode 94, we kick things off with some exciting news about where you can stream The Cheat Code Podcast and grab our merch. We’re making it even easier for our Coderz to connect with us and represent the Cheat Code community.

Next, we dive into the world of music and monetization. Rari shares his journey with his new intro song for his iHeart Radio show, featuring Young Dro. We celebrate Rari’s successes and discuss the strategies he used to monetize and register his song. It’s all about making the right moves in the music industry, and Rari is a prime example.

We also take on a burning question from one of our Coderz: Should they release singles or a full project? Our advice: consistency is key. We recommend consistently releasing track after track, closely monitoring the results, and adjusting your release strategy accordingly. It’s a singles-driven streaming market, and we break down how to navigate it successfully.

Rari shares his insights into curation and how he keeps his playlist fresh and relevant. It’s all about staying hip and current in the ever-changing world of music.

But we don’t stop there. We tackle the issue of accountability head-on. Blaming others for what you won’t do for yourself is an easy trap to fall into, and we discuss the importance of taking responsibility for your own success.

In this episode, we drop some truth bombs: entitlement and poor time management are an artist’s two biggest enemies. So, tune in, and let’s conquer these challenges together. It’s time to level up and make 2024 your year of music mastery!
