New York City hip hop artist KOTA The Friend continues his rise to fame as an Independent artist. This week he was featured in the Wall Street Journal in their ‘Take a Break With‘ segment. In the interview with Wall Street Journal KOTA says “any time you’re dependent on a 3rd party for your success you’re kind of in a bad position”.
