I think it's cool that Rittz still wears his chain. So does Lynch. if I had the same thing as an artist I'd still wear the chain too that chain dope asf
Trav is a straight Business Genius! So proud to see what Strange has grown into over the last decade. Keep striving to conquer it all and put the PUNK ASS MUSIC INDUSTRY IN A CHOKEHOLD!!!
GREAT interview and VERY inspiring... I wish more people out here were just like Travis. Us artists and creators need a MAnager or someone like him behind us to push our music, visions and dreams up to the Next level... Ive watched this video a couple times because it inspires me and gives me some hidden gems & jewels... Thanks Travis for giving Tech a chance and creating Strange music... Some of my music on my channel would probably fit in perfect with Strange... Thanks Travis for everything! keep pushing out the info & content brother!
I knew Jay Trilogy was a mistake signing. He literally has made like 5 songs total, there was no time for him to grow. there are thousands of good potential artists online who have a couple songs, but most of them quit after a year as its just a phase. Strange signed him too quickly, cuz there wasnt enough time for Jay to see if this is what he wanted to do. Ali Tomineek should have won PTSD and been signed, he is someone who truly grinds and would have better fit
It pains me to see this happen. I really had high hopes for him. I hope this doesn't detour Strange from working with anymore up and coming artists, because I have literally dreamed to collaborate with pretty much everyone from the roster. (also I make music on another account)
Best label in the world the snake and the bat dibkis I love this label every artist is Beast no other label can say all their artist are beast just my opinion Travis o'guin I appreciate you doing these videos it helps us as fans learn a little more about what you're doing at strange and it gives us a little idea of what to expect from strange in the near future so please keep doing these videos the only question I have is when can we expect Above Waves-Fugitives album release I was really excited to hear that it was this year but it didn't come out when it said it was supposed to anyways that's my question shout out to Tech and Travis and everybody at Strange Music that keeps wheel moving #ITGOESUP
Strange needs to divert some money to get their artists played in Portland. I think this would be a very good strategic location for their message in upcoming events.
This is why I've been down with strange since 2000. Kansas city raised. Travis is woke af and thats why strange has risen in the ranks without doing what one usually has to do to make it in music.
And yes Travis we watch this shit this shit is historical!! It’s fucking great like no one can out beat strange making music ^S^ much love to you all and good luck!!🙏
So that means no more physically album copies?? I loved the artwork in the tech N9ne albums hopefully they still make the album and sell it on strange music store cuz Best Buy stopped and music is evolving
I hope they still sell physical copies as well THE REAL FANS deserve it still, people who probably don't really fuck with strange just stream all that I like to hold and keep the copy. The hardwork they put into the booklets and everything you know.
Gregory Agee Yeaa me too man hopefully he still does like when trav said it gunna be different to release music I’m like oh really and I like sat up and was like no wayyyy I want the artwork and booklook and the hard copies like who cares if Best Buy doesn’t sell cds like if hey are truly fans the would buy it on the site and if not just stream so it would be a win win
I love seeing brothers of different cultures living life, bettering each other & ultimately getting money together... that’s what life is about... f*kk all the other BS.... S/O to Travis & Tech 🤙🏾
This would be the perfect label for hungry willing artist that's put the work in on their own! This isn't for the faint hearted....I don't understand when some get the oppuruntity to up the echelon...what happens? Because it's different once you get around a Team? I've always been told "It takes a team" Why does this happen! This is perfect formula! Strange! the only Indie Label doing this....
Know what would be cool? A strange music social media platform with streaming built right into it. Not sure how easy and profitable this could be. I'm speaking strictly from a consumer standpoint, it would be cool. I think tho if you could have everything under one umbrella rather than having to deal with all these third party platforms, it could eventually be more profitable. Still use the third party platforms but have like a VIP strange music platform. Eventually you could have millions of fans exclusively only listening to strange music artists. Something to think about as you're branching into other genres and markets.
This is late. But the Jay thing is crazy. He young and probably got scared...idk. Would love to hear about Darrien, Above waves. Mainly Darrien. He drops stuff solo.
Huh. An hour ago I was thinking to myself, "Travis is a cool guy and he's always pretty interesting to listen to, but do I really wanna blow an hour on this?". Now I can't wait toss my money at his streaming platform. Tbh, I think there'd be a *lot* less music piracy if people knew that paying to listen to them actually gave *that artist* the bulk of your money. I don't want to pay Spotify to contract Drake and whoever else when I really just want to listen to little-known artists who make fringe music. I only worry that if his system doesn't work the old way & flatter the powers that be, then he might not get the current industry giants to bring their music to his platform, and that might hurt his platform's popularity (thus its profitability and ability to exist) as a whole. I'm not going to pretend to know how it all works, but I just hope the existing giants don't throw a fit and choke his operation from the beginning given how much control they have over music right now. Also super excited for the talent that his platform (and conglomeration) will inspire to exist in the first place.
Ismail Ghedamsi I think you're misunderstanding how it's going to play out the 96 songs can be done in a manner of ways individual releases or albums all count towards the 96, he also stated artists are hyped because they don't have to hold back on dropping stuff as they previously did
Hey Jay, When I first seen you with Tech and Krizz in the "PTSD" music video, that shit almost burnt my house down. Straight flams and dope bars all the way. I been listening to Rap and Hip Hop Music for over 28 years now. I got about 2500 records concerning that music direction. I followed the careers of all Cash Money, No Limit, Aftermath, Shady Records, Death Row aso. Artists and know a Record Deal can be shady sometimes or very prolific. I normel wise never comment or write artists about my thoughts, but I just saw the Strange Music CEO Travis interview and thought damn. I of course don´t have the input or knowledge to give you any advice and don´t want to side with anyone. I do know however a record deal for a young talent is very stressful. A relationship is harder to handle, time for famely and frinds isn´t their anymore, you have to do a lot of touring and commercial activites, you have to meet seemingly impossible goals and so on... There are couple god books from Eminem, Dr Dre; 50 Cent, DMX and a lots more about the struggle they had with geeting starded. I think you are a more then talented artist with unbelievable good content and a dope ass flow. Since Em has dropped "Kamikaze"I believe the Hip Hop and Rap culture has been inflamed and would like to see YOU part of this culture. I think you belong up their with Tech, Kendrik Lamar, Yelawolf, Em.... I hope this comment reaches you and you get back with Travis and Tech at Strange no matter the differences. Keep your head up and get that hustle on. Best wishes on a awesome carier. Best regards, Dr.Prof of Hip Hop
Gregory Agee He mentions in this interview somewhere that he's pissed because he thinks he not allowed to release music, bailed on a tour, and is seemingly more interested in his woman than his music career.
Ok sorry tech but I got to say this I really don't understand how you make so much business by ignoring the golden goose Travis and using the family to tug on America's heart strings man come on thought you were a self made Playboy philantrhopist technically
Your trippin Joey cool is nasty and if anything one of the most underrated artists out there. Not as good as some I agree both Jl and ISO are better but dudes definitely earned himself a spot on the strange roster, Has such a chill almost jazzy vibe with a lot of his music. Reminds me a bit of C ray off brainsick I’ve always wanted them to work together more I think they did one song together
Bens Jammin I tried to rock with em.. idgaf been with is for a long minute rocking with twisted insane and cmob... JL dropped a few bangers though for real
Travis is the man! Letting artist do their thing since day 1! Bring that Bou Lou to Michigan! Will ALWAYS support Strange!
Chris Scott why up brotha.... wired seeing you here
You come here often lol
14:02 for anyone wondering about Jay Trilogy.
Thanks

@@AwesomeKing41 that's dope ass hell bro! I'm gonna get my first Strange tat real soon!!

I think it's cool that Rittz still wears his chain. So does Lynch. if I had the same thing as an artist I'd still wear the chain too that chain dope asf
It really is a dope chain. I've always wanted a label chain.
Trav is a straight Business Genius! So proud to see what Strange has grown into over the last decade. Keep striving to conquer it all and put the PUNK ASS MUSIC INDUSTRY IN A CHOKEHOLD!!!
Congrats on all success Strange Music, stand up KCMO!!
Love these videos. Travis's insight on the industry is so captivating!
Good interview, looking forward to the future of Strange Music!
GREAT interview and VERY inspiring... I wish more people out here were just like Travis.

Travis keep doin these! Very informative
I loved this!! Thanks Travis & everyone involved!
Jay trilogy needs to step up or step off. There's a million other artist that'll love to take his spot including me.
Strange need to release him because he didn't respect the contract
william The Great king iso
Yo Travis, you should do a Strange Music ASMR video 😂
I hope everything keeps going good for strange music.
Great interview! I thoroughly enjoyed it. Lots of love from Wrekonize’s mum!
I knew Jay Trilogy was a mistake signing. He literally has made like 5 songs total, there was no time for him to grow. there are thousands of good potential artists online who have a couple songs, but most of them quit after a year as its just a phase.

Ali Tomineek should have won PTSD and been signed, he is someone who truly grinds and would have better fit
ThePokeTesla I was surprised he was signed after that myself. There's still hope yet for him. ... Maybe.
The pop group that I don't remember it's name only had 2 songs since it was signed
It pains me to see this happen. I really had high hopes for him. I hope this doesn't detour Strange from working with anymore up and coming artists, because I have literally dreamed to collaborate with pretty much everyone from the roster. (also I make music on another account)
What happened to him isn't he still signed I'm sure he'll release something next year.
Ismail Ghedamsi Above Waves or something like that.
Travis, I will work for you one day! Just not ready yet. Always Strange!
Best label in the world the snake and the bat dibkis I love this label every artist is Beast no other label can say all their artist are beast just my opinion Travis o'guin I appreciate you doing these videos it helps us as fans learn a little more about what you're doing at strange and it gives us a little idea of what to expect from strange in the near future so please keep doing these videos the only question I have is when can we expect Above Waves-Fugitives album release I was really excited to hear that it was this year but it didn't come out when it said it was supposed to anyways that's my question shout out to Tech and Travis and everybody at Strange Music that keeps wheel moving #ITGOESUP
A lot of golden info here. I love hearing him talk.
And I'm not even ten minutes in yet. 🤣
Jesus you’re fanned out
Bruh I just wanna work with y'all some day. Not get signed just work
Same smile as his daughter ! Love them both !
thanks for uploading these interviews! Strange music till I die ^S^
So dope. Travis is a business genius man.
Strange needs to divert some money to get their artists played in Portland. I think this would be a very good strategic location for their message in upcoming events.
This is why I've been down with strange since 2000. Kansas city raised. Travis is woke af and thats why strange has risen in the ranks without doing what one usually has to do to make it in music.
Straight game knowledge trav knows his numbers
I need the music video for 'How I'm Feelin'
travis do u think u will ever have a retail store in lees summit where ppl can come in and buy ur merch?
Travis is a smart guy.
Please tell me Tulsa is getting it!!!!
Could this interview be uploaded to spodify?! That'll be amazing!
And yes Travis we watch this shit this shit is historical!! It’s fucking great like no one can out beat strange making music ^S^ much love to you all and good luck!!🙏

I love seeing brothers of different cultures living life, bettering each other & ultimately getting money together... that’s what life is about... f*kk all the other BS.... S/O to Travis & Tech 🤙🏾
My bets for the artist they're signing is ISO and Token.
They already signed ISO
andresarj91 no they didn’t
"Can you really write a book that ends in the middle?"
Yeah you can! Look at Game of Thrones 😂
🐍🦇
I'm just here praying we see Snow leave Atlantic and join Strange Music 🤞🙏
Samantha Craig if she did I could see her making her own label
This would be the perfect label for hungry willing artist that's put the work in on their own! This isn't for the faint hearted....I don't understand when some get the oppuruntity to up the echelon...what happens? Because it's different once you get around a Team? I've always been told "It takes a team" Why does this happen! This is perfect formula! Strange! the only Indie Label doing this....
Gosh I love tech n9ne
Need some bou lou in the 909!
So do tech 9 own his company? What is his title?

truly believe it could innovate the game
its all about how to adapt to streaming to work in your benefit too
thank you. Grandson
\
I could listen to travis talk about stats and the story of strange all day... audio book ????

in japan they say don't take a loan buy the bank that is exactley what travis o'guin is doing
Im trying to get some BouLou in STL !
It was here but it sold out everywhere super quick
Total wine and more or Lucas liquor is where you can go when it comes back
I would go to strange days
HEY TRAV AND TECH! How about you guys sign The Dayton Family already!
I could see King ISO taking the crown when Tech N9ne retires.
ISO is definitely my favorite besides Tech.
Fuck yeah
Wouldn't releasing too much music will bun out artists and what if that artists want to create a concept you can't do that with individuals songs.
Ismail Ghedamsi I think you're misunderstanding how it's going to play out the 96 songs can be done in a manner of ways individual releases or albums all count towards the 96, he also stated artists are hyped because they don't have to hold back on dropping stuff as they previously did

BRING BOU LOU TO OHIO PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEE i been dying to taste this and my bank account isnt set up just yet to let me drive to the MO to grab some
Lol the sound quality of this interview sux. Not like your a record label that deals with sound or something smh
Travis has great asmr
What is ASMR
ths guy will be good at ASMR videos , hes voice is so quiet lol
Trav is very fuckin intelligent
That's my last name but I spell it with two n's instead of one.
All of Colorado would kill if your beer came here
My brain
😂Travis so fkin done with mfs
To bad about Jay Trilogy... Could of been something great. May still be I guess. Aw well. JL & Joey Cool been doing good for the young Strange peeps.
Yea such a talented man and it seems like his girlfriend is holding him back :( Hopefully he does contact Travis back tho
Charles MacLellan JL has some hits.. own thang and make it out the hood so fire
Wait what happened with Jay Trilogy I didn't hear anything about him yet
weslegna im not trying to hate or anything....but i feel like you just listed his worst songs. Solo albums before strange 100x better
Gregory Agee He mentions in this interview somewhere that he's pissed because he thinks he not allowed to release music, bailed on a tour, and is seemingly more interested in his woman than his music career.
If you guys ever need voice actors hit me up, I got about 100 different impersonations/voices
let the young dude use the internet
Kutt Calhoun need his just due and need to be back with Strange Music Mmm Ritz left probably for the same reason
So far Rittz is doing very well right since he left the label
Drop Jay from strange he aint committed....
#DeadWeight!!!
sadly because it's dope
Tech says fuck the industry.....yet he got a turkey for a ceo smdh
We need that bou lou in germany
Yall stopped feeding the fans and just play it safe.
Stupid signing him sign iso all us fans want it we never wanted jay
#melons
Y’all need writers?
The way trav speaks reminds me of trump SOOO much
Fuck trump!
Noxide The General lol
Ok sorry tech but I got to say this I really don't understand how you make so much business by ignoring the golden goose Travis and using the family to tug on America's heart strings man come on thought you were a self made Playboy philantrhopist technically
Does anybody else think travis sounds like trump 😂😂
Hell nah
Eminem Vs MGK?
Joey cool SUCKS and jay trigology? Who? Lol coming from a 15 year every day tech listener
Not a big fans of the new artists.It's really worrying me after Rittz and BLH ended their contract.Now rhymesayers become my favourite label.
Your trippin Joey cool is nasty and if anything one of the most underrated artists out there. Not as good as some I agree both Jl and ISO are better but dudes definitely earned himself a spot on the strange roster, Has such a chill almost jazzy vibe with a lot of his music. Reminds me a bit of C ray off brainsick I’ve always wanted them to work together more I think they did one song together
Prozak and Big Scoob are the most underrated artists on Strange
Ismail Ghedamsi hell yea dude.. Why??? Is one of my MANY favorites
Bens Jammin I tried to rock with em.. idgaf been with is for a long minute rocking with twisted insane and cmob... JL dropped a few bangers though for real
