Through Parts 1-3, we’ve gotten to know a little about Illmind, his influences, some of his favorite things about the hip-hop culture and it’s music, the gear he uses and a few details about his life outside of producing. But here, Illmind opens up about the industry. Topics in Part 4 of our Producer CEO series centers on how Illmind has been able to bring his talent for beatmaking and build a brand around it, from giving away free music, networking, be on top of trends and a few other crucial details that could put you in the same spot.

    like I mean… this is great stuff. I’m just amazed that more producers aren’t commenting or at least paying attention because this is really really great stuff

    I have had that Donald Passman book forever…I am gonna go cop the new edition if it contains internet marketing and streaming like he says. I STRONGLY recommend everyone pick up that book if you haven’t.

    It is refreshing to hear him compare the producer grind to building a resume for a job. The analogy completely makes sense, and people should be taking notes – especially if they are new to the game. Big up Illmind!
