In this segment of GAHHDcast, the guys sit down with rising Passaic, New Jersey MC Kiamo to discuss the rumors surrounding a potential deal with legendary hip-hop label Def Jam Recordings.

Kiamo speaks candidly about the conversations happening behind the scenes and what it means when an iconic label like Def Jam shows interest in an artist.

The conversation also dives into one of the biggest debates in modern hip-hop: signing to a major label vs staying independent. Kiamo breaks down the pros, the risks, and the mindset artists need when making that decision.

Beyond music, Kiamo discusses his role as an executive producer on multiple projects and the vision behind his label Corner of the World Records. He also talks about his long-term plans as an entrepreneur and how he plans to expand his brand beyond music.

If you’re an independent artist, music fan, or someone interested in the business side of hip-hop, this is a conversation you don’t want to miss.
