Waiting for the right deal, rather than the merchandizing deal at-hand, is a trade-off that artist/entrepreneur Chamillionaire is willing to wait for, with a keen eye toward authenticity at every turn.

Business models have changed in the digital age, and it’s no longer the job of the artist to dictate.
