I have been saving my little pennies for some time and FINALLY I was able to get my Apollo Twin! 🚨🚨🚨 When I tell you it took me a full WEEK to get the software and the interface to work with my Mac M5, changing security settings, pulling up with my producer community, and calling the dag gone sweet water and UA agents but I’m outchea yall 😂😂 The music is about to sound real expensive over here and I’m so excited for it. *insert cheese grin* 😏 The journey continues…elevation on constant. 💫💫💫 The intern never graduates. 🎓📚

Another one for the books 💣 Thank you @Kosine Palacios and friends for another great session, tonight was epic. @Taurean Rideau song was complete FIRE as per usual. Your elevation is a blessing to experience. Kenny is calling 😏 I took so many notes but the best part was witnessing the camaraderie. The energy was felt and a testament in real time to the importance of building with others. It may not always feel good but when you find your people and lock in, you appreciate it so much more. For now and as @Kosine Palacios said in one of our past sessions . . .it’s good to get in on the ground floor. 💯 The intern never graduates. 🎓📚

Family. We didn't have class last week and I felt it. I missed this room. I missed y'all. So I'm coming back tonight with everything I got. And listen, I'm excited about this one. The room keeps growing, more of us every Tuesday, and tonight we cook for real. We call it The Kookout, and you do not want to miss your plate. Tonight's plate: THE SIGNATURE. Why AI can copy your sound but never your soul. Your choices, your story, your 10,000 hours, the one thing in this business that can never be undercut on price. Cold open: a J. Cole clip from 2011 nobody has seen in 14 years. Studio with Da Internz, Roc Nation era. What he said that day became a receipt I'm still cashing. This plays once and it's gone, so pull up early.

The intern never graduates.

Family, ▎ ▎ Tonight's Internz Academy is one you do not want to miss. ▎ ▎ DJ Mateo is the guest. First intern. 20 years deep. He knew me before any credit, before any ▎ room with Jay, Bey, or Puff. He watched the basement become the billboard in real time. ▎ ▎ We just made him VIP. ▎ ▎ Here's the play tonight: ▎ ▎ · Basement to Billboard. The real story. The hours, the doubt, the reps nobody clapped for. ▎ · Bruno Mars "Risk It All" breakdown on the piano. I've been living in this song all week. ▎ · Claude Code Day 1 for Mateo, live in the terminal. You're watching a tool change a ▎ creative's life in real time. ▎ · Mental health under pressure. Court week. Kids week. How I'm staying creative when admin is ▎ choking the calendar. ▎ ▎ No slides tonight. No script. This one is a roundtable, on the go, Chairman in motion. You're ▎ going to see what it looks like to run the empire from a pickup line. ▎ ▎ If you've ever wondered what it actually costs to be in the room, tonight is the lesson. ▎ ▎ See you live. ▎ ▎ Forever a student, ▎ Kosine ▎ ▎ Drop a "in" below if you're locked in for tonight.

Family. Tonight we open the Tuesday Lyceum at **5:15 PM PT** and the lecture has a name. **HANDLING BUSINESS.** A think piece on the word itself, and why it is quietly costing creatives the life they are trying to build. We are getting into: 🔥 The word **business** itself. Why "busy" is the rent the unfree pay to feel important. 🔥 The **opportunity of leisure.** You are not chasing a check. You are designing a life. The exercise tonight will change how you plan your week. 🔥 **Money in your sleep.** Royalties. Publishing. Sync. Master ownership. The math your day job will never teach you. The MLC. SoundExchange. ASCAP. BMI. The rooms with your name in them you have not walked into yet. 🔥 **Two scriptures, both Chapter 4.** Ecclesiastes 4 and Sirach 4 (Ecclesiasticus). Two are better than one. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken. Wisdom tests you before she trusts you. The verses that diagnose what most creatives are walking around with and do not know they have. 🔥 **FYRE at Will.** When the Holy Spirit drops a name on your heart, you reach out yesterday. The Coodie story. The doctrine. 🔥 **The mental health of the creative** who did not get on the project (yet). The 2015 lesson. The Grammy nights. The clock that starts the moment the album drops without you on it. 🔥 **Three new weekly traditions launching tonight:** - WHAT ARE YOU LISTENING TO. Music diet. You are what you eat. - BILLBOARD BREAKDOWN. Read the room before you try to win it. - TESTIMONIALS WALL. **Rose, you are up first.** Song camp report. ### Bring three things tonight 1. A notebook 2. A royalty statement (any source, any year) 3. Three names the Holy Spirit has dropped on your heart this month ### And bring people This room is bigger than us. **Forward this email to ten people who need to be in this room.** Tag them in the chat. The free seats are open tonight on purpose. --- 📍 **Zoom:** [ZOOM LINK] 🕔 **Time:** 5:15 PM PT sharp 🎯 **Length:** 45 minutes plus testimonials
