ESTG out here walking out of interviews and Little Baby is out here searching for a hit. If you don't see the correlation, let me help you even further. Little Baby in his past album had multiple distances towards DJ academics. Talking about, quote, academics type people can get touched. Then in another track, he was like academics, no, he ain't got as much much. money as me and now because of him going against one of the biggest media conglomerates in the world academics has turned on them and following that effect the fans have turned on them very unfortunate the way that rappers treat the media and then get very perplexed and

bewildered when their downfall starts to occur obviously eStg is one of those type of artists where I don't think he's going to experience too much of a downfall because he hasn't really had the heights that you would think artists like ESTG would have like in general ESCG's first week sales throughout his career is very interesting because he's signed to YoGadi which if you don't know yo gotti has signed a lot of these artists like a STG money Beckel, Glorilla, just a lot of different artists, right? Basically, what I want to get into is that ESTG has only sold around 20 to 30,000 with his albums.

Now, to be fair, of course, his first album sold 28,000. And his second album, so 2021, because he started putting our albums in 2019, which he put out a sequel for El Turo, which I don't even know if anybody even listened to that, because when he put that out, he was under Anoscope, which is CMG with also Yogadi, but he definitely wasn't as popular.

So I think he started to take a life as far as in 2021, whereas the numbers reflected that we had $28,000 first week sales, 2022, $31,000 first week sales, and this is supposed to be the premier act for CMG. So that's the label that Yogadi runs with

Moneybejou, Glorilla, and a plethora of other artists that are just buzzing on the scene. Probably one of the best hip-hop labels since Atlantic with the Migos. And I know a lot of people probably want to agree with that because of the heights that Migos have reached. But all I got to say is got to give Moneybag yo some time. Definitely got to give Glorilla some time. I feel like she has a lot of potential. But in general,

CMG has a lot of artists under its belt where I believe it can end up being one of the best labels in the world. So with that being said, ESTG's numbers not break through at all. Like as far as 31,000 first week, like, I'm not going to project that he does less than that. Because, I mean, after being on the CMG, which just got bought out by a bigger major label, like I'm pretty sure they have more money to put this behind. Like, CMG and Yo Gotti did a deal with, I think it was Believe Interscope or whatever,

but basically, I feel like this album by ESTG will sell around 4. to 45,000 first week. And that's a significant jump from 31,000, being that CMG is not a big name label because it's ran by Yogi. If you don't know, most major labels are probably wanting Yogadi's label to fail

because they want the big name artist not the thing they could sign to one artist and blow up to superstard them. That's why all of the bigger, that's why the biggest artist you see in the game, Taylor Swift, Kanye is under Republic by university music group because they're the big dogs in the music industry. So anyways, with ESTG, I do believe, well, ESTG and Little Baby, I do believe the biggest lesson they can learn from their similarities is that treating the media horribly will only backfire on your career in a way that you probably wouldn't even imagine.

Because to get to the height you're at, somebody at some point had to put you on. and give you exposure to an audience that you otherwise would have gained exposure from. So when you get to that point and then start disrespecting media, I think we have to point it out because it's very inconsiderate and very rude in general as a musician to not respect the process enough to know that media is the reason why you even got here. So anyways, click my link here in my bio, let me know one of my social medias. What do you think about ESTGs and little babies, track off his album titled i think and will you be giving it a listen
