and you deserve to be on the top near other artists but look at Ama lou for example she's AMAZING flawless and she will never be at beyonces level because she sign proper music while beyonce makes music for the majority which is dumb and would never catch her and specially your bars Blanco Enjoy being incognito because your chance will come, eventually the respect which is due shall come to you if that what you wish stand firm and you and people that look up to you shall do as well

Coming back ☑️
I like how Blanco is versatile and different with himself, the part where he explains how he drifted from drill shows how pure he has grown. But I can never forget these iconic songs from him: ‘No Hook’, KWIS, ‘I don’t mind’, ‘Call Me a Spartan’, ‘21st Century’, ‘Jason Bourne’, ‘Don’t Run’, ‘Kennington Bop’ etc.
i got too much luv for Blanco man rest up all the fallen spartans
Blanco giving parliamentary procedure vibes. Wish him more success 🙏
Ay mans at a commercial gym in the central business district in HONG KONG right now and they're playing Blanco's music here, swear down
Sad to hear he feels like this. If we wants to "be at the top"/a bigger artist he's gotta get out of his own and understand there is a process to get there. No way to get to the top with just good music alone, gotta couple it with a lot of other stuff (ex. music videos, features, small concerts, big tours, meet & greets, radio interviews, brand deals ect. No successful artist has done that Hopefully he can get some solid people in his corner that can help take his brand further

@@CallumC1234 Neither does Headie One, Fredo or Digga D ect. Lots of artist don't, the point is to be really successful you have to connect with your fans and market yourself outside the music to "be at the top" You can argue those artists above are better, but that's not the point. They all really came in the game at the same point

Hope Blanco finds a good team who convince him to start doing shows, starting small is normal, surely better to get the rookie mistakes out on smaller crowds.
This man has one of the best voices and accents in rap imo, it's even nice when he's simply talking. He deserves a lot more recognition, love, etc. and I am glad he has pride in his talent, because it's deserved. His wordplay and references are so A1, he's very cultured!!! A bit slept on, you know, Blanco deserves a lot more numbers imo and I'm glad he keeps his head up bc he does get a lot of love worldwide (this is coming from an American girl) as he's said. I love his work solo and he's also on some of the best Harlem Spartan tracks. Hope Blanco takes care of himself and just stays safe and healthy, because that's when the best creativity flow appears and he can best express his talent. I'm excited to see him put out some gritty drill too, even if not violent and more like the Central Cee/Dave route, bc his voice is perfect for it. Mizzy and Blanco will always be some of my favorites in drill, and Blanco is simply such a good, honest person it seems (it makes me think that his talented homies must just be nice people who are trying too even if they were on the road in their past as well and aren't the best people with women). Lots of love and support, I hope Blanco sees comments like this and lets it actually inspire him bc I have so much love for his music and skill, know what i mean ??
Great that he’s opened up about this. Seems like a real guy, not like these social media actors
I love the honesty blanco.
Blanco really was honest here
“Manager was in jail… my boy told me what an Option was but didn’t explain it correctly” Shoutout Blanco but at this point anyone in a bad contract situation is wilfully ignorant.
Such a legend mashallah
Blanco is too cold to let the industry sap some of his motivation. I hope he reaches out to other independent artists and just trade ideas so he can find his avenue. City of God is a special project
Just by watching the intro man can tell this is gonna be a real one

Doing shows gets u bigger tho. Thats where u can build ur core audience
I feel his problem is the image he wants to present himself to the people, so I feel he compares himself to certain artists that he wants to reach to their level not only musically and as an artist I feel drill music to him it’s not much creativity and creative ppl and artists from any fields are unappreciated of drill music because it’s really crime series from Netflix and not type of music you would appreciate the creativity and I think blanco should go with the wave of these artists in term of visually and experiential artists because he’s very passionate by his work., these kind of artists Pa Salieu, Knucks, Slowthai, Sam Wise…..

Dont think he can ever talk about drill not feeling the same considering hes never been cruddy and look at the music hes been making "recently" plenty of hard music out last couple of years..ofc hes biased but lets be real even the music 4-5 years ago was way below the quality of the music these days...people need to get nostalgia out there arse and wake up to reality. Stop listening to central cee and open your eyes ppl. And if we are talking about drill artists being better in their prime..that is obvious..they are growing up, sound different and rap differently and maybe some just have different outlooks so the way they spit/things they spit about is different..also most artists that people loved are locked or dead because thats the life they rap/live about so we move on.

he not lying tho, ofc theres been some good tunes but its getting repetitive every1 uses the same lines n same everything now, back then there was a lot more originality, n 2 say that the music 4-5 years ago is way below the quality of drill music today is just a lie lol, they actually rapped about stuff back then, ppl now just rap about cheffing ppl n who they put in a spliff, it does sound cold tho icl, rondo makes it interesting for sure, but even digga is bored of drill n said the exact same stuff as blanco so its not him jus being biased, a lot of the good artists fr are either dead or in can n thats jus the facts
