Understanding Spotify Playlists:
Over the years of helping independent artists promote their music, I’ve gained a solid understanding of how Spotify works behind the scenes.

Artist: U.K. the Joker on Stoicism, Creativity, and Building a Purpose-Driven Legacy
Can you tell us where you're from and where you're currently based? I’m originally from Louisiana, but right now I live in Atlanta. That Southern foundation still lives in everything I do—how I speak, how I move, how I think. Louisiana taught me grit, survival, and storytelling.

Pop music is a world of smoke and mirrors—or so we're told. It's the realm of auto-tuned vocals, label-controlled personas, and songs built in boardrooms instead of bedrooms. But beneath the glossy sheen and high-budget videos, pop has always had the power to reveal something real.

Fire or Ice: Ecological Responsibility in Trap Music
In a musical landscape often dominated by themes of luxury, survival, and swagger, “Fire or Ice” by Iska Tribe stands apart — not because it abandons intensity, but because it redirects it. Written by Nigerian-born poet and music producer Rotimi Ogunjobi, the track is a charged meditation on ecological destruction, global inaction, and the moral crisis at the heart of climate change.
