Ep.200 - "Rapper" or "Artist"

from Diggin' In The Digits Hosted by The 5th Element Podcast Network

Off the back of Lil Yachty's new album, he made a comment about "wanting to be seen as an artist". This led to responses like this. We broke down the multi-layered conversation that is decades old and spans genres: Labels, eras, the leaders of said eras and what happens when they do something different. 200 episodes without missing a drop, thanks for being on this journey with us.
