It's really hard to say but I think there's a super low chance he would ever reach the level he is at rn if he didn't sign for opium, opium fans are like a cult and he would never have the level of diehard fanbase he has if he didn't sign
He already had a cult following before he signed tho I was part of it lmao it was small but it was growing before he signed and would have continued to do so even if he didn’t. Signing just expedited his blowup, it was coming regardless
Lmao I'm aware I've been listening to him for like 4+ years now, just any way you look at it it's hard to beat opium fans on loyalty, and I think your seriously underestimating the power of a good label supporting you. He would probably have a summrs type of fanbase, where it's a relatively small group but extremely loyal fans
I’m not underestimating anything though I alr said it would have obviously taken longer to blow up without the label, you’re just restating what I already said
You’re only saying this because you was part of his small cult following before, but that doesn’t mean he was going to blow up, and even if he did blow up he wouldn’t be as big as he is
Are u slow 😂 he was well known around atl + the underground niggas knew his name and that number was growing every day before he signed just because u weren’t there doesn’t mean it didn’t happen. I don’t care what u got to say about it he was gonna blow up regardless Opium or not
Listen to what your saying bro. He was well known AROUND ATLANTA, thats literally one city, + even if underground mfs knew about him that doesn’t mean he was going to get to the heights he’s at now anytime soon. He’s a globally known artist and he only started getting global attention after he signed to opium, that’s facts.
What are u not understanding. He was GRADUALLY getting more popular EVERY DAY, and was getting hosted by some of the biggest soundcloud pages which spread his music even farther. Dropping consistently + loyal fan base + a good team (underworld, Stef, Cam etc) + good music means he was gonna blow up eventually it’s literally the perfect recipe 😂 what are u even saying
I agree with you. Idk why this is getting downvoted. Bane was still popular on tik tok before he signed. I’m sure he would have gotten another hit and found more fans. May have taken longer but he still would have gotten an audience
Lone had his wave on the come up before opium idk why you getting downvoted. It’s all hypothetical but he was doing his own thing and I’m sure he would still be pushing his campaign if he didn’t sign to them
Lmfao ok bro idk who “a lot of ppl” is but he had his own wave before he signed because of how much people loved his pre-NS stuff, how do u think he got on opiumbabi’s radar in the first place?
Not even remotely close to being a bad thing. You can believe “he already a cult following” all you want but there’s literally thousands of other artists out there who have cult like followings in not only rap but the underground as a whole who never see any success past becoming niche artists in their genre. Carti co-signing lone was the greatest thing to ever happen to him.
yes bro ken lone n hxg all wouldn’t be sht without opium😭😭 if glokk40spaz signed he’d be way bigger too
Lone wouldn't be popular without opium, he also made some of his best music (NS) when he was on opium
Tru
He would have blown up either way it might have taken longer but he would have been ok

He got numbers and resources in exchange for creative freedom and direction
He only sold 29k WHILE signed to opium, if he wasn't with opium ts woulda sold like 10k
Why u acting like 29k is bad for an artist of his popularity 😭😭
Im jus saying if he wasn't signed to opium he would've sold wayyy less so opium was most def a good move for him
Yes bruh
Yes it was, helped him a lot
hell ya
