## Resource

24 years old. Staten Island. No label. No manager. Just beats and a vision. JBoogz pulls up to First Smoke of the Day and breaks down what it actually takes to build an independent music career from scratch in 2026. He flipped a Mac DeMarco sample on TikTok and hit 2 million views. Now he is in LA cooking with artists and stacking percentages over upfront cash. We get into how sampling actually works, why the MPC changed everything for independent producers, how TikTok built his career before Instagram did, why he takes royalty percentages over upfront money, and what a 24 year old producer from Staten Island would tell anyone starting from zero right now. For the music heads, the producers and anyone building something real without asking permission. Subscribe to First Smoke of the Day for weekly cannabis culture and the realest conversations in the game. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
