Rapper Russ On Why Working With TuneCore Has Been a ‘Lifesaver’ — And Lucrative
Russ on how TuneCore helped him as a rapper, what to expect from his new album, 'W!LD', ambitions for more work as an actor and more.
Russ discovered TuneCore by accident: Nearly 15 years ago, he watched his close friend, the rapper Bugus, Google “How do I get my song on iTunes,” and it led him to the New York-based distribution, publishing and music licensing service. While rap’s mainstream has never embraced Russ or bestowed him glossy awards and accolades, he has still managed to build a successful and lucrative career with a rabid fan base. Russ, whose next project, W!LD, will drop June 27 (an accompanying headlining tour with Big Sean opening is planned), has bucked plenty of music industry conventions on his way to stardom.
