As an up and coming independent artist, there’s a lot that goes into having a successful career with hard work and patience being two main factors, and even though people around see your efforts, praise and encourage you to keep going, there’s still a thought in mind wondering if all that work will ever pay off. This is the concept behind King Shied’s “Dread” single from off the “Lyrical Fiend: Starving Artist” project.
