Chance the Rapper called out that if we could see the bank accounts of a lot of rappers these days, the numbers would be way lower than we’d expect.

We are proud and privileged to have Matt Fader as the subject of our first Shine article.  I’ve known Matt for over twenty years.  He was one of the few people I remember who would give you a wave that he was in position for.  “It’s yours,” he would say, and be truly stoked he gave it to you.
