He showed off the construction site and says it will be a space for "producers, my artist, video production team, etc."

It isn't difficult to find interviews, quotes, or social media posts of artists complaining about the way the music industry operates. From bad record deals to publishing rights being taken to aspiring artists not having a safe space to create, there are ongoing issues that people are willing to write think-pieces about but only few are taking the steps to enact change.

Yung Bleu is just one person, but he's announced he is building a space for creatives of all backgrounds who can come and learn the ins and outs of the industry while simultaneously advancing their own careers.
