Lil B is an internet legend and a part of the percbuddy lore. He gave me a feature for 20$ back in 2021, when i had <10 monthly listeners. i love lil b , he stopped texting me back after he won the grammy from the thundercat record, but im just glad hes finally getting the attention he deserves. also a lot of people don’t know that lil b really put on soulja boy, they have a whole collab tape, check out 30 thousand hundred million by lil b, soulja boy, and wocka flocka flame
when u manage to land a gig , even if you bomb, hand out custom bottle openers, stickers, or business cards if need be. (preferably the former, something that isn’t easy to throw out. but IS easy to pocket or add to a keyring.) make sure nobody leaves the venue without a piece of you - this method helps me hack my crippling social anxiety. the pretense of a gift or offering acts as a shield in the face of dread and uncertainty, allowing me to approach people in a way which often feels impossible.
this is inevitably not viable for a lot of creatives. you are taking a net loss in the hopes of creating a personally memorable moment for the people in your scene.
you could call it a percbuddy psyop, but i also see it as proactive realness.
