Back at it again with the Midweek Motivation. Today’s edition includes a quote Royce 5’9 delivered during last week’s Music Meeting. He went into painstaking detail on his struggles with alcoholism and levied a solid piece of advice for anyone, music industry or otherwise, who leans on substances for productivity. Also included, Trina and Pusha T kick perspective on their approach to creativity, Remy Ma provides a note on maintaining forward progress and Lecrae drops a jewel about ego that no one’s too successful to consider.
We release a new list every Wednesday. Click the image if you’d like a deeper dive. Hopefully you’ll take away something positive from the peruse.
