So it was a matter of dropping a few household names like Iverson, Jordan, KD, Harden, and AD to get music listeners hooked to the song. The rest was history after that...

I recall being in LA at the time the song first got air play on Power 106, and it was pretty much an instant hit with people playing the song non-stop. No one even knew how he looked back then, but I guess that's the power of music. It lets you dress/look however way you want, and people seem to be willing to accept your image as long as you make good/decent music.
That's called marketing & then see my post above. People are mindless lemmings.
thats what people dont catch onto... its called marketing, some people are masters in that craft... quality or talent does not equate to anything if u r the king of marketing... the broad from dr phil has 12 mil instagram followers and made a song lol
