Forbes just recently wrapped up their top list of Money Hustling Musicians From June 1st, 2012 to June 1st 2013. The criteria Forbes was going by was: 1) Music sales 2) Tour profits 3) Endorsement 4) Business ventures. REAL TALK this list right here is not for the weak. If you’re not about that grind then you’re in the wrong business. This list is made up of New money and Old money but REAL TALK hard work and dedication is what keeps these peeps striving everyday. I tip my “B” hat to all of them for always keeping that grind on the move REAL TALK!
