I recently had the opportunity to speak with Kevin Lavender Jr. aka VH, President and CEO of independent label Truth Tone Records. In addition to being a label executive and artist, his philanthropic work has positively impacted the community and reinforced the importance of artistic responsibility while exemplifying the true essence of hip hop culture. In this Q&A session, he shares his wisdom and experiences as well as gems that independent artist can use in the process of building their careers.
