Even though Taz Taylor and his World-wide-web Revenue collective are responsible for breaking stars like Juice WRLD and Lil Tecca, it was a difficult road in the commencing.

Taylor took to Twitter in which he unveiled that when he very first began publishing Juice’s tunes to labels, he was rejected and told that the rapper was replicating Lil Uzi Vert’s sound.

“Stop putting new artists in a box,” Taylor wrote. “The similar artists yall stan … they applied to say was a clone of someone else.”

In one more tweet, he shared a screenshot of a folder with mp3’s, producing, “I sent this folder to A&Rs in 2017. Was told no.. he was a ‘lil uzi clone.’”

A variety of Juice WRLD tunes ended up in the folder, like the single “All Ladies Are the Same” from the rapper’s debut studio album, Goodbye & Fantastic Riddance.

Taylor also pointed to Lil Tecca as yet another example of somebody labels handed on: “i keep in mind making all these tunes in 1 night,” he wrote. “sent them to a label the future working day. was explained to ‘no.’” The screenshot involves Tecca’s music “Ransom” and “Shots.”

Taylor ongoing the conversation in a collection of tweets, stating that a great number of artists are currently being told no mainly because they “sound far too a lot like” other rappers.
