THOUGHTS ON AGE LIMITS, PEAKING, "GETTING INTO" MY MUSIC, NETWORKING, AND IF YOU WANT TO SEND ME MUSIC

I think the problem with me is, I started so young, and all I see are people now blowing up in their early 20s (my age now) or even late teens. I feel like there is a limit on my timespan as an artist. "Oh you have to make it by 22 or else you're washed" kinda mindset ya know? I think post changing my name and with the stuff I have in the backburner right now I am well beyond The Death of Gilgamesh. Producing all the way, Writing is back on point, and for gods sake my mixing is decent now. I wouln't call this a peak for me for a peak would imply that there is a downward slope after this. I'm still learning, been learning since I was 12, I'm arogant I refuse to get help with my craft but that's also what makes my sound unique. Unique is also an impact of what limits me. For, even I can admit, my music is hard to get into for most people, it's not bad most people wouldn't say this, but it takes a few if not MANY listens to finally get fully. Not many, if any make my style. When you are in your own lane many look at you like you like you are insane until they want to pick apart your brain. Then all the sudden they know your name and voila! Fame. I think more people are starting to get the JETT sound now, but it's just marketing that is hard. Networking is also my biggest flaw and I don't like to admit this. If you notice this, I collab with no one except like 1 person who found me on insta. I gernerally dislike working with artists. I find most other musicians to be egotistical asshats who will scam you for weed. And I haven't been proven wrong on that, especially in my city. I've been counted against so many times it's just easier to ride solo, even when there are people with good intent. If you notice I like and heart every comment EXCEPT people asking me to work that is genuine. I can work with other artist but you just REALLY gotta reach out to me in a unique way dude. And I think that summarizes a month of thought.
