Dominic Fike is not an industry plant. He has a plethora of old music before his initial columbia record deal. How anyone thinks this kid is a plant is absurd. He's just talented and people noticed. He deserves his position. Dom is not an industry plant lol
@@antonioblaster3226 just finished the vid. As someone that’s been following him since not a word which released in 2013, I can assure you he’s not an industry plant. He’d upload on SoundCloud lol Like this comment says, he definitely has beaming potential and people picked up on it
i don’t even think you really can say “even if” for dominic, he’s 1000% a plant but like u said, he’s far more talented than anyone else with that label for sure
I first heard the Demo tape in 2018 its reaffirming to know one of my favorite artists had struggled with a problem like addiction that our generation is currently dealing with and is coming out of it a better person I hope we get hear new music soon because he said most of the songs on the album are a few years old so I want to know what direction he’s heading in next
Came across Dominic in 2019 w 3 nights. Glad to see his growth. I know he’s not your typical individual (given his past and all) but he seems like a cool guy. Cant wait for him to surpass millions of followers on IG one day and so forth on other platforms
Bro, I have been waiting for him to blow up. Kenny Beats put me onto him at first, but once I heard Jada Pinkett and Dom Syndrome, I then knew he could rap his ass off, but also had this soft emotioinal side where he can paint a story by explaining how it felt to him. He also has the backstory and looks to really make it huge. I'm super happy for him man. I hope he can stay sober enough to now mess this up and continue to release dope music. :)
SWFL knows how hard this man worked on music well before anyone knew him. We just thought he was going to make it as a rapper and he completely blew us away with a new sound and the rest is history
coming from the same hometown and friends with the family this is some sick shit fr, bro really had it hard where we come from and had to really do this shit and that’s what he did.
Bro is a demonic being. Aint nonthing to admire but to avoid asked demonic about the sacrifices and the code of silence. Sure be an interesting conversation ☺️
I always enjoy your videos and I love how we can tell that you did your full research about certain artist. This video and many others are proof that you are well knowledgeable about the music industry. Keep up the good work.
I was wondering why he looked familiar. His story is amazing how he cleaned himself up and was able to make the beginning of what could be a great career.
I really don’t think he’s an industry plant he just happens to be like all the artists from decades before an artist that a label heard and were like holy shit this nobody is about to be a superstar
It’s easy to assume anyone with a record deal and no music is an industry plant. It’s also easy to forget people have artist names and legal names to protect their identities.
I call cap you just wanted his attention and you got it, you comment on all his videos trying to get attention and you finally got it once you lied about 8k subs 😂
@@ethanhayward2424 he knows me bro... and he has heard my music.. im not here to defend myself.. go look at his old vids.. ive alwyas commented and showed support idk... thers a reason he liked the comment
damn had no clue who dominic fike was but you did hell of a good job showing the good and the bad and letting us make the decsion that he is/isint a industry plant, very well put together video
He also sang a song on a Paul McCartney remix album, thats how I found him. Funny that he's from exactly where my parents spend half the year as retired Canadians. Sad I didn't run into him there when I was younger, I would've been an early supporter.
signing for 4 million gives you more motivation than anything😂 it’s not just a paycheck, it’s an advance (a loan). If his music doesn’t make the $4 million he’s in debt to the label and they take a % of money from every single earning, small or big. Signing gives you a lot more to lose but also a lot more to gain.
@@User61918I sure hope you did simple math and ever since he signed that deal he has surpassed it in net profit. The label does that not as just a gamble, they promoted and pushed the hell out of him so he would be listened to. The money has already been made back a long time ago.
@@Alan-rw3ez not how contracts work. instead of me learning simple math you should learn the music industry before you speak on it. an artist receives an advance, and either fulfills their obligations and gets more money with the expectation they make it back, or they fail to fulfill them and are in debt. Once they fulfill their contract, they can either sign for another advance or become independent.
Dude…What Could Possibly Go Wrongs is one of my favorite albums of all time by any artist I’ve jammed to….it’s straight from the fuckin heart….so is his new one. Bright soul
And the fact looking back on the now after his album has blown up, he has indeed made many proud of him. Proud of Dom and what he has overcome and accomplished.
Dominic's talent is clearly evident by now. But instead of scrutinizing, why don't fans learn to send good vibes and well wishes for his sustained mental health, recovery and sobriety from drugs and /or alcohol. Celebrities like Justin Bieber, went through adolescent ups and downs but Bieber seems to have matured over the years and recovered his sanity in this crazy industry. Our culture loves to place people on a pedestal, but when they don't live up to our unreasonable expectations we immediately cancel them. We want to live vicariously through other people so we don't have to face our own shadows and demons. He doesn't owe anyone shit. He's cultivating a great gift and leaving that to the world. Let's all do the same. Keep your side of the street clean then you can have empathy for someone else, like the drug attacks and alcoholics in your own family you may be in denial about.
Dominic fike had one of my fav eps. I havent heard his new album yet but I like his story and old music a lot. I wanna hear the og version of dont forget about me someday
as someone who’s listened to hip hop all their life listening to dom turned me onto alternative, you got something special when you as an artist can introduce a new genre to someone and make it sound appealing
Plenty of “Artists” get deals like this 🤨 LoL. This is the third video I’ve seen about this on him, people don’t seem to realize that’s essentially a front-
Ohhh I was wondering why he looks familiar to me. Euphoria, gotcha. Never heard of him being a musician and didn't even know his name as an actor, but I like his music after just looking it up! He had an unfortunate start to life but overcame it. Good for him! Obviously, he isn't a plant, lol.
I know this one dude who was working for chance’s mgmt team, this was like 2017 I went to Chicago to write for another artist they were pushing at the time. The dude showed me Dominic Fike’s original ep and it was fire and said they tried to sign him but he’s in jail. At the time basically a bunch of A&Rs got word of him and they basically started a bidding war. Three nights was in that EP.. to say he had “no songs” is a lie he also had rap songs out on TH-cam that have since been taken down..
The first time i hear Dominic is when i’ve come across a youtube vevo video of him playing king of everything (back in 2019-ish i’m not completely sure), wherein he’s playing all these instruments/sound enhancers (idk what u call it lol) simultaneously and right off the bat i thought to myself damn this dude really got some insane talent and i knew he’ll go places and i’m glad everything turned out well for him because he deserved it.
kind of like iann dior. grinded and blew up on soundcloud, found by a label and had to take down all his old stuff, got signed, got accused of being an industry plant.
i made this video awhile ago but it sucked so i redid it, especially since the new album came out. lmk what u guys thinks of it!
Just seen that u hit 150k subs bro😭🫡🔥🔥 bravo👏🏼👏🏼
yeah i thought i watched it before
Yeah I thought i watched this before 😂💀
I really liked the album, but Mama’s Boy was really bad imo. Great vid bro❤
great video as always dude
Dominic Fike is one of those rare singers who actually have good potential to be a good actor. His performance in Euphoria was actually good.
Yeah but that 3-4 min of him singing in that one Euphoria episode was boring. 💀
@@OTMP.I think they wanted us to get interested on him as a singer, but it didn't go that way 😭
@@OTMP.dang man open up your emotions a bit, the song was literally about Rues life and it was a sentimental piece for their bond.
Ehh, if you weren't biased I doubt you'd have this take mans was phoning it in in every scene. Now Eilish on the other hand killed swarm
Anyone can play an alt bi drug addict. Lmaoooo it was not that complex of a role

@@vudumi homie. The whole video explains how he’s not an industry plant. I believe you because I watched the vid.
He’s a plant for sure
dudes been insanely talented since a young age , they invested in him and it worked out
3 nights is an instant classic. I knew that was special first time I heard it!
King of everything is a masterpiece

Sunburn is SOOOOOOO GOOD. I am so excited to see him live!!!
I’ll be out of town for the tour 😔
I'm seeing him in THREE DAYS

Favorite artist since 2018 big thanks to the industry for planting him
I have to see Dominic Fike live at some point, he got my album of the year rn.
You need to, he’s really good live! Get those tickets for this tour!
i’ve been listening to dom since 2019 and it makes me happy seeing him get more recognization

I like how the Director of euphoria rejected Dominic Fike for being a drug addict only to have him play a drug addict
like???😭 and he ended up being high for almost the entirety of the shooting
method acting fr
It’s easy to assume anyone with a record deal and no music is an industry plant. It’s also easy to forget people have artist names and legal names to protect their identities.
Been here since like 8K subs🫠🤘🏼 it’s crazy to see how far Matty has come! Got nun but respect broski! Keep grinding‼️‼️

If he was independent he’d be better. The pressure and the label added no real motivation

im so glad i found out about dominic, the song Why is literally the best song EVER, my favourite of them all. great video!
I thank you for being unbiased with this video bro! Lots of love from the Philippines!
Matty: "He got a deal with no songs"
Also Matty: *immediately talks about songs that were made years before the deal*
😭
He’s an amazing artist
sunburn is legit my new fav album
I first heard of Dominic Fike from the Brockhampton music video for 3 Nights. He has been great since.
First heard about Dom in 2016 in college. My friend was a mutual of his and said he’s gonna be the next big thing
Going to see him live tonight. Dude has such fresh music. One of my favorite artists of the past 5 years. Quite excited.
had no idea who Dom was before this video tbh. Good video
Keep up the good work, man!
Thanx
I am god
before his deal his song jayda pinket had some numbers on youtube
Even if he somehow was, he’s still a proper talent.
That's dope shout-out to his lawyer or lawyers for finessing that record label
nice shirt lol
He did have music before his deal tho (: just deleted all to rebrand him
Yep
I love your videos and appreciate your research. I wish you'd make more videos!
thanks for a new video!

Who’s here after he dropped a masterpiece of an album🤝🏾😤
He’s definitely not an industry plant he just make a music and had a really good connection in Yeek
yeek is slept on
@@mattyballz super slept on that man makes good music 💯
Back in my day industry plants were just called “record deals”
Bro just dropped an album. Still yet to peep it tho.
Great video man, loved the new interview and album
I was trying so hard to figure out where I knew him from, and then you showed him on Euphoria and it clicked lmfaoo
i'm from florida around naples, bro had the local radio's on lock wth "three nights"
He still does
Another fire video from the man the myth the legend Mr. Ballz

Can you please do video on what happened to this artist called "Clever"? He was known for being an industry plant, but he was actually talented.
Clever? Once sung with juice wrld right?
Interesting video, crazy that I have never heard of this guy I must be living under a rock
It infuriates me that you say he has no music. Half this video is talking about the music he made.
Oooou I love a new matttty videoooo ♥️

The art of supply and demand
thank u man!
seems like a nice young dude... good luck to him!!
🚨📢AMAZING CONTENT BRO
Damn thats actually crazy !!
Found your channel a week ago and I must say that your shit is elite content ngl
I definitely remember when his name started getting buzz just as 3 Nights started getting traction. That mugshot was everywhere too 😂
i didn’t know he was friends with yeek! it makes sense, their music has a similar vibe. loved dom’s new album, it rocks hard!
I'm really fucking with the Sunburn album.. last album was great too
the defintion ofbattery is doing anything more than pushing someone he should sue
dominic fike is the goat he’s genuine
i subscribed due to the quality of the video
“No music” - proceeds to show him dropping music since 2010
he deleted his music he had really good music before too u can find some reuploaded
Sunburn is so good
His a legend
Oof I’m LATE idk why but it’s not in my notifications or recommended
His song from euphoria little star has been stuck in my head for the past 5 days. And it's crazy how you guys are just talking about him.
Good edit
He did it because he's a GENIUS
i’ve been listening to dominic since 2016 🤷🏻♂️
Every artist is either a plant or a puppet
I’m so confused I had no idea about any of this and I love his music. I really love his new album too!!
Regardless if he is or not he’s really good and I’m glad he got to where he is now
W, when Matty post
