Kanye West recently returned to Twitter, and he’s getting woke as f*ck.
The legendary creative, responsible for some of your favorite music over the past decade, has been notoriously absent from social media for a while now, but made his grand return last week dropping some knowledge bombs.
He’s back today with even more advice for aspiring artists on staying in control of your creativity and your “ability to create.” He mentions topics like signing contracts, avoiding distractions, and letting go of fear.
This is stuff your manager or business partner could tell you, as well, but it just sounds so much better coming from Kanye.
