Artists today stand at a critical crossroads, balancing the opportunities of a digital era with the timeless importance of genuine connections. On a recent episode of K97.5’s podcast “DJ Remedy Freestyles,” host DJ Remedy and guest artist KME RABB explored this challenge in depth.

The conversation centered on three main themes— authentic fan engagement, the evolution of music, and the ongoing hurdles for independent artists.

DJ Remedy emphasized the value of cultivating a loyal fan base.

“Fans are your motivation,” said KME RABB.

For both artists, success stems from authentic relationships rather than superficial numbers.

DJ Remedy supported this sentiment, declaring, “Genuine fans don’t just listen—they stay.”

The pair also reflected on how music has evolved over the years.

“Music today borrows from the greatness of the past,” noted KME RABB, referencing how platforms like TikTok have revived interest in classic tracks from the ’80s and ’90s.

DJ Remedy added to this nostalgia, recalling earlier club scenes when people danced “with $4 in their pocket and had the time of their lives.”

However, the path for artists isn’t seamless. They touched on today’s complexities, from managing social media metrics to avoiding online scams.

DJ Remedy advised, “People want to know the real you. Being yourself is key—no fronts, no gimmicks.”

Looking ahead, KME RABB teased exciting projects, sharing that he’s refining his craft to drop an album his fans can play on repeat.
