SHOW NOTES
For years, absent options, artists and bloggers have focused on independence. But fuck it! Money! In 2009, it’s time to cash in. NahRight is the first website signed to Complex’s ad network. XXL selects ten blog-friendly artists to put on their cover and has their best-selling issue ever. Thanks to this, names like B.o.B., Asher Roth and Kid Cudi get a ton of attention. Everyone on the cover gets signed by major labels. Mickey Factz, once the stand-out, is the last one.
