Troy Ave Addresses First Week Sales

Facts

Troy Ave was put on front street yesterday for the low sales of his album, Major Without A Deal. According to Soundscan, the independent release sold 4,373 digitally (30 physical).

Despite being released on a Friday, Billboard included the album in their first week sales report. Troy Ave and manager Hovain, took to their Twitter handle yesterday after being trolled online.

Hovain also chimed in:

“So now that billboard said it do you get it lol we prob jus short of 10k sold God bless and have a good night. So let me ask is 10k independent a failure ?We not slaves we don’t have to be humble it’s a choice , the way we feel about our self shouldn’t make you feel insecure.”

    Be insecure and try to brag that you made 120 grand in a week. I’m sure that will help the sales….seems like doing damage control backwards to me.

    30 Physical copies sold? Damn. Before reading I joke predicted 3,000 units sold and i’m surprised by how close I was apparently… These guys are clowns that seem to make up and throw out their own numbers and talk about singles to cover up the lack of interest that people have for this guy.

    The key of investing and hustling is to flip. I don’t know the numbers behind the album budget but if u invested 5000 in studio cost, including production points, publishing, cost of mastering and distribution, the percentages sound iffy. But I wish no man ill will

    Jay Z purchased Tidal, niggas HATED on that. Troy Ave creates a lane and buzz for himself from the ground UP, niggas HATED on that.

    Either this has to be the most miserable group of niggas to ever post on-a thread

    OR self hate is running rampant.

    Love em or Hate em, Agree or Debate, both THIS cats took a chance on themselves!

    its easy to sit behind a keyboard and HATE on niggas doing what most are SCARED to do, but why?

    You ain’t got to like these dudes work, but damn AT LEAST, RESPECT THEIR HUSTLE.

    and truth be told Troy’s album isn’t bad at all.

    ppl just caught on to Troy after a while and why wait to put the album out for so long? if you’re independent, drop it whenever you want. he had some buzz late last year but the album didn’t drop till summer. we live in a society where everyone has ADD and is on to the new artist next week.
