Kingpin aka Rap Juggernaut joins The Hype Magazine’s SBR Talk Series in a deep-dive conversation hosted by Money Matt with special guest Tony (@iamthaconnect). This episode is a masterclass in how to stop bleeding money and start building real, scalable infrastructure around your music career. From running street campaigns across the country to launching the Uncut Game Podcast and Artist Academy, Kingpin outlines the precise blueprint indie artists, DJs, and execs need in 2025 and beyond.

He speaks on the hard truths most artists avoid: ownership, optimization, metadata, infrastructure, and discipline. Whether you’re just starting out or ten years in, Kingpin breaks down the difference between hype and hustle, visibility and viability. You’ll also hear the story of how he and Tony built a new model for the music business — one that doesn’t rely on fake streams, shady promoters, or broken DSP links.

Artists, DJs, managers — this is your cheat code.
