This was such a great watch. Love seeing Russ dropping gems as always and Elsie getting better and better at this. Great video and happy birthday Elsie!
Russ is an inspiration for so many and just a real reflection of what doing things your own way and remaining authentic can bring you. Nothing but love and respect to both of you.

I stay hunting down Russ interviews, bro keeping the inspiration alive forever the marathon. Gives young artists like me hope. And sometimes that's all you need when you have nothing. Some hope and dedication. I do have a beat made just for you Russ that I haven't released, if you'd like to give it a listen I'd love to send it over!
Shout out Elsie, keep going 🚨 Russ is a such a great spokesman for this generation of creators 🐐

I had the honor to see Russ in Düsseldorf Germany some days ago, he's a legend! He has done so much and is still so young and full of energy and gratitude, I'm excited for the future, all blessings to him and his surrounding, love from Germany, Trifalga Rises
So much love and respect for you my brother. Thank you for being so original in a world where the powers want to pound you into a mold. You da man russ
Hearing this dude talk is always such an amazing experience. Dude is just... REAL. Real talk, real perspectives, real knowledge about what he is talking about. Amazing.
@manvirbiral2034 She passed the vibe check for me. Positive energy, even tho she ain't that much of an extrovert. Made good questions and respected Russ every step of the interview. Good work. If I was her, I would just get a 4K camera and maybe a second one to change angles and make the video more dinamic.
Seeing Russ go from super cocky(Gary V Interview) to now being plain humble and insightful is amazing. I f with him even more now. Thanks for your insights as always Russ. Also, if you're reading this, sign me to your label 👀
Congratulations on Elsie on landing this interview, I first heard of you with your collaboration on a SZA DOCUMENTARY and thought what u had to say was amazing. Imma fan of Russ but safe to safe he wasn’t the only reason why I was thrilled to watch this video🎊🎉🥳 also happy belated birthday 🎉🎊🥳
great interview, made me realize that i was d*ckriding my own music while deeply knowing that i'm not on a place yet to blow up. And at times it's the hustle of it that can keep an artist back like when u go in the studio saying to yourself that you're gonna make your best work yet. It just works backwards
I like the timeline of his perspective growing as his career progressed. That honesty you need to have with yourself and how much you're willing to do for your goals. Great interview, felt short the way it flowed perfectly
building community is UA-cam. talk about that! i'm living proof. been doing a livestream everyday for 160 days and i'm telling you it works. show up as yourself unapologetically, be consistent and showcase your talents. speak truth.
For me do it myself. Inspired me to realise even without people or things. I can still keep going and attempt to continue to get things done. I was the kind of person that would assume i could not do something, because the people who offered help or were apart of the projects fell off. Id give up on myself and my plans. That song held my hand through a lot of things. Also gave me the strength to step away from a lot of things that were not serving me. Very interesting to hear what inspired the song, I assumed that was the case based off the lyrics. I was like same bro you're right lets do this 😅 i got this.
Ok this was a 12/10 episode. Gems on Gems. Russ won the game of life but he is still playing for FUN. That is fkn goals. Beat the main mission (financial freedom and retire your family) then focus on side quests.
i remember writing from sun up too sun down to the point where i had to shut off instrumentals because they made my head hurt from such an extended period writing 3 songs a day at the time i thought they were the shit and im a blow up off this but in reality they were horrible songs and rehearsed them like if they were the best songs out, moral of the story put the work in have great belief in yourself and to be great at anything you have to be a optimisticly delusional. no team independant and im happy with life
Great interview, really good questions and you let Russ get his points off without interrupting. Also, the subtle edits worked really well and were hardly noticeable. The one critic is the subtle music in the background, it’s quite distracting. I don’t think it adds anything to the conversation either. Keep up the great work, going to watch more of your interviews now!
I tune in and take in as many interviews I can from Russ laRussell E-40 other independent artists and I’ll be honest. I understand my music might not be Kendrick level but it’s up there somewhere in the C or D maybe B list lol but I do have a problem with when I’m trying to get this content in front of just my own fan based social media seems to have a little trick up their sleeve where until I pay to push an ad it doesn’t even push it to all of my actual followers and then when I do pay it just scoops up my own fan base I’ve already made… The Discord idea would be cool. I use it for everything else, but discord isn’t something the average Joe has as far as I’m concerned I’m currently working on switching everything over to X because it seems to have more accessibility for somebody at my level, but any advice would be great. I appreciate anybody who takes the time to read this Lol. (PS I’m not saying that I think that my work is in its final phase. I understand that I could still move around some structure and work on cadences and a few other fields but I think I got enough to feed at least a small community lol
You are asking great questions invite Kelly Rowland and ask her questions about her solo career i feel like most people dont know how to do great interviews with her because she was on DC and isbestfriends with Beyonce. You need to interview her
Prince never liked being talked shows! The way Madonna would. All artist are different.But they both made great art. I wanted to make my art and putting up Gold& Platinum Records on the wall. Speaks to the work you've put in. But all my deals was with the majors. Now new music in 2024 I'll figure it out. Independent or Majors. Good interview.
Why are there so many cuts?I mean I liked the interview but it confuses me if this whole thing is real or scripted while I know Russ wouldn’t do a scripted thing. But the cuts are taking realness away fr!
This was such a great watch. Love seeing Russ dropping gems as always and Elsie getting better and better at this. Great video and happy birthday Elsie!
Another great interview just dropped with ARIA NEJATI
Always enjoy watching his interviews, always dropping gems 💎
We need that Alec & Russ collab 👏👏👏
Russ is an inspiration for so many and just a real reflection of what doing things your own way and remaining authentic can bring you. Nothing but love and respect to both of you.
You and Russ gang no cap 💯🫡 Keep doing what you doing . When I say you inspire me I mean that shit

@@jeffreyfollmeyer5328 why trying to be sarcastic brother ?
Love this man. He’s helped me through my 20’s. His legacy will forever live on with anyone I come in contact with until I die.
Coming back to this for the 2nd time 🙏 Thank you for the great interview & best of luck with your future! 😇🕊️

Happy Birthday Elsie. Always great to watch these interviews with your fine face and your vast passion for what you do. You are appreciated❤

Love Russ. Giving you something to think about & it always give me more drive to push myself harder with my music!
I like what Elise said, "You have to have a level of honestly to be able to self-reflect...." 33:23
Russ interviews are my favorite interviews 🙌🏼😊
Love the message Russ!
Big 💎's 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥💯
A superb interview. 👏👏
Glad you sat down and did this! Happy Birthday!
Thank you! 🙏🏽
Always thankful to hear a Russ perspective, the character development is awe inspiring
Elsie, you are doing a great job! keep going 🤍
Very dope interview 🙏🏾 my takeaway is have the humility to accept your weaknesses and then work on them!
Definitely my #1 inspiration as an aspiring independent artist. A lot of great information. Great interview! 🙌🏽
I really enjoyed this interview, unexpected but loved it
building community is UA-cam. talk about that! i'm living proof. been doing a livestream everyday for 160 days and i'm telling you it works. show up as yourself unapologetically, be consistent and showcase your talents. speak truth.

A lot of gems were dropped here. Thanks Russ!
Great interview, love Russ.
Such an insightful convo! Literally took notes of the wisdom drops throughout this whole chat. Mad respect for both of you!
Ok this was a 12/10 episode. Gems on Gems. Russ won the game of life but he is still playing for FUN. That is fkn goals. Beat the main mission (financial freedom and retire your family) then focus on side quests.
Happy Birthday Elsie! 🎉
Happy birthday!
Great interview 🖤✨️🫶 keep going girl and Russ is really just a great Compass of life. ❤❤
Russ is one of the few genuine artist w amazing music. Fire interview
Happy Birthday Elsie! Proud to see how far you’ve come! Can’t wait to watch this later!
i remember writing from sun up too sun down to the point where i had to shut off instrumentals because they made my head hurt from such an extended period writing 3 songs a day at the time i thought they were the shit and im a blow up off this but in reality they were horrible songs and rehearsed them like if they were the best songs out,
moral of the story put the work in have great belief in yourself and to be great at anything you have to be a optimisticly delusional.
no team independant and im happy with life
"Move the needle" reminds me of "the wheel of time" series. The wheel keeps on turning regardless of opinion
Great interview!
Managing your own expectations is huge , it’s fine to dream but if the work isn’t there then be real…this hit!
ELSIEEEEE 😍
Elsie doing big things
Haven’t started but already know this will be fire.
Rooting for you Elsie 🫶🏾
Brillant interview #russ
Times are changing in every field, if journalists who don’t want to adapt and build their own platforms they will get left behind, plain and simple
Russ helping the journalist pay for everything is just good character and knowing how to run a business. Imagine hating on that, def bitter.
seeing all these artists really rockin with you is so awesome
Great interview, really good questions and you let Russ get his points off without interrupting. Also, the subtle edits worked really well and were hardly noticeable.
The one critic is the subtle music in the background, it’s quite distracting. I don’t think it adds anything to the conversation either.
Keep up the great work, going to watch more of your interviews now!
I love this split screen.
RUSS has the coolest come up story I ever heard!! They should turn it into a movie
Legendary video!!!
This was too great 🏆
I tune in and take in as many interviews I can from Russ laRussell E-40 other independent artists and I’ll be honest. I understand my music might not be Kendrick level but it’s up there somewhere in the C or D maybe B list lol but I do have a problem with when I’m trying to get this content in front of just my own fan based social media seems to have a little trick up their sleeve where until I pay to push an ad it doesn’t even push it to all of my actual followers and then when I do pay it just scoops up my own fan base I’ve already made… The Discord idea would be cool.

Amazing interview as always

You have to interview ab soul
Why are there so many cuts?I mean I liked the interview but it confuses me if this whole thing is real or scripted while I know Russ wouldn’t do a scripted thing. But the cuts are taking realness away fr!
Love me some Russ🫶🏼
