There\u2019s no help coming from a major label, so an artist has to dig into his pockets to fund and distribute their music. One rapper who has mastered the indy market is Russ.<\/p>\n<p>On Wednesday (March 3), Russ took to Twitter to share two images that reflect on the success he\u2019s been seeing since going independent last June. The first image shows Russ has earned a whopping $10,003,878.42 by handling his music independently.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEver since shit started \u2018working\u2019 for me with this music shit I often think about \u2018damn, what if I woulda stopped after those 11 mixtapes,\u2019\u201d Russ tweeted. \u201cCan\u2019t lose if you don\u2019t quit.

After making his first $1,000 check, the 28-year-old challenged himself to make more money each time out, and he did. He also stressed it wouldn\u2019t have been possible without consistency and determination. The next goal the New Jersey-bred rapper has his eyes set on is a hefty $50 million.<\/p>\n<p>In November, Russ did something similar when he tweeted how much money he makes as an independent artist.<\/p>\n<p>In the tweet, Russ wrote, \u201cSome weekly checks on tunecore..inspo purposes only artists : own your music and stop letting these labels take 15% distribution fees for pressing an upload button.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">some weekly checks on tunecore..inspo purposes only <\/p>\n<p>artists : own your music and stop letting these labels take 15% distribution fees for pressing an upload button <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/eQHRRtXLdO\">pic.twitter.com\/eQHRRtXLdO<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 RUSS (@russdiemon) <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/russdiemon\/status\/1325853093074923520?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 9, 2020<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>The trolls came out to ridicule Russ on DJ Akademiks\u2019 Instagram post speaking on the situation.
