From Producing Legends to Building The Next Indie Empire ft. RushDee #235

In this exclusive episode of the One More Time Podcast, we sit down with RushDee Williams, a multi-talented Grammy-nominated producer, executive, and founder of indie label BeGenius. 

From learning "150% work ethic" firsthand from Nipsey Hussle, to breaking down the real meaning of independence in today’s industry, Rush drops gems every aspiring artist, producer, and exec needs to hear.

His tag "Rush, you done did it now" perfectly matches his "get sh*t done" attitude. 

He talks about his journey from producing for legendary artists to signing and building with ATL Jacob, and how he balances the art and business of music like a true pro.

With aspirations on par with Jay-Z's Roc-a-Fella family tree, we believe this mystery mogul is going to be a household name in the near future. So take notes!
