the rise of dominic fike?

this guy signed some absurd deal after a huge bidding war w/ tha lights global (lil pump) @ Sony/Columbia. His debut EP is out now on streaming: "Don't Forget About Me, Demos"

curious what ILX thinks, obv the industry has some insanely huge faith in the kid...he's from florida and raps kinda but is really a pop artist. oh also he has the apple logo tattooed where tears might be

i quite like '3 nights'

he was in jail prior to this? http://www.showbiz411.com/2018/10/16/that-4-million-columbia-records-paid-for-dominic-fike-sounds-like-it-was-worth-it

And everybody’s equal but not me cause I’m the king

guy is gonna be crazy huge, if not on the billboard charts, then at least in the world of lifestyle brand commercials.

im a little bummed that "3 Nights" sounds like Portugal, The Xan

lol you just wanted to make that pun

yeah the Xan ref was for the lols, but it actually did remind me of portugal the man

lol

so what you're saying is the future of music sounds like Whitey Ford Sings The Blues

I liked “vampire” from his project

i thought "chicken tenders" was a really cute pop song
