Why making it in music is (almost) impossible - Zillie Holiday - Ep93

Me & Zack (aka Zillie Holiday) used to go to high school together. Now he raps and cooks some absolutely fire beats. This was the first music artist I've had on my podcast so I learned a lot about sampling and how Zillie Holiday is trying to make it in a highly competitive space.
