Influencer, Content Creators,Brand are terms that for me sounded phoney from the get go so never held any currency with me. But even before these social media lifestyles as your essay shows one could get caught up being someone they're not nice to be reminded of this trap. Oh and one other thing being a musician and casual fan of hip hop (bought the 12" of 'White lines' the week it was released) I had never heard of the Rapper 'Billy Woods ' but have to admit the lines you quoted in this essay are far better than many of the other Rappers being praised to the high heavens over the last couple years. Will check out 'Church'.
