Pidgin rap pioneer Magugu shares his hard-earned wisdom on building a sustainable, full-time music career while remaining fully independent. We get into his rise from the underground, sidestepping industry smoke and mirrors, landing publishing deals, and why keeping it simple is key to both his sound and his business approach.

Recorded at B-Side Radio

Special thanks to Brock Shillingtonof Tofino Tea Party, Jamal, Dom and of course, Magugu.

ATTN 🎙️ ISO a monthly podcast co-producer

Seeking a producer-in-crime for Backstage Cash, where we cut to the chase about how artists are actually making it work.

I’m looking for someone who:

* Is passionate about independent music, underground arts, and alternative scenes

* Has some audio or podcast production experience (or is a fast learner)

* Can handle editing, uploading, and basic episode management

* Wants to be part of something meaningful and community-driven

ATM it’s a one-episode-per-month, grassroots, no-budget operation — but I hope to bring in local sponsors, and open to sharing monetization as we grow. The biggest thing is whether this feels like a project you can really get behind.

Hit me up via email with a little bit about yourself, what skills you’d bring to the table, and why you think we’d gel.

Big love always,

CP
