Before social media became the standard, before streaming changed the game, platforms like High-End Radio and siccness.net helped shape how artists earned exposure.
In this episode of Buss It Down Podcast, we sit down with San Diego media pioneer Mr. Caypre for an unforgettable conversation overlooking Mission Valley, diving into the evolution of hip-hop media, artist development, promotion, industry ethics, and what today’s artists still don’t understand about building a real career.
