I read books like <em>Hit Man<\/em>, all you need to know about the music business, you know, I just already read books to kinda teach me what a good deal was, what a bad deal was, what publishing was, what mechanical rights was. I\u2019d already researched, this is when I was like 9, 10, 11 years old.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He continued: \u201cI was challenged by my uncle, he said, \u2018If this is what you wanna do, you learn everything there is to know and I\u2019ll make sure you have the money and the resources to get you where you wanna go.\u2019 But by the time I read the books, he had done caught a 10-year sentence, so I had all this information and I ain\u2019t had no bag.\u201d\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><\/p>\n<div class=\"author\" itemprop=\"author\" itemscope=\"\" itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/Person\"><meta itemprop=\"name\" content=\"Joe Walker\">by Joe Walker<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
