The star rapper shared that being independent doesn't solely mean that one has to be alone, and to him, it means that one does not need to be signed under a major record label.

The rapper, who previously shared that he bagged himself a record deal through an interview with DJ Sbu, shared the advice on his Twitter timeline.

He said:

"To my fellow EMERGING ARTISTS: Being an independent artist doesn't imply going alone. It signifies operating without the support of a major record label. You can only succeed in collaboration; even if you could, you still require a team to accompany you on your journey and collaborate. You need help to handle everything. Therefore, assemble a team!"

"If I were an artist starting out, I would sign to a major record label, maybe a one-year deal, if there is one. They would push me and create a name, establish me, then after I've accumulated money with then, I would go indie."
