One of my favorite lyricists dropped an album last week, and it's as good as I thought it'd be! J.Cole had no catchy radio single, next to no promotion, no guest features, no publicity stunts, and no gimmicks...and his album is still expected to move about 250K units in one week. Proof that if you put out a good product, it will sell itself--especially if you've established a worthwhile brand that people trust.
Inspirational for me in my nascent writing/publishing career...that if I can build a loyal following and fan base by creating and writing quality material, the rest will take care of itself...
