Charlotte, NC — Independent artists Coach Peake and 63Huncho have teamed up for a refreshing new single, “Can’t Depend on Record Sales,” a smooth yet sobering reminder of the struggles many indie musicians face. The track is produced by Parker Jazz and features a jazzy, soulful backdrop that perfectly complements the lyrical depth delivered by both artists.
“Can’t Depend on Record Sales” dives into the reality that record sales and streams don’t always reflect an artist’s value or talent. For Coach Peake and 63Huncho, it’s a return to form—a call to get back to the grind, hustle, and authenticitythat built their foundations. The track’s message resonates deeply with indie creatives who have to push past industry limitations to create their own lanes.
With a mellow, jazz-influenced instrumental setting the tone, the duo wastes no time speaking truth. Coach Peake, known for his sharp vision and consistency in the underground scene, delivers with calm confidence. 63Huncho matches the energy, bringing his own raw honesty and lyrical presence to the record. Together, they offer a glimpse into the mental and emotional toll of striving for success without major label backing.
The track isn’t just commentary—it’s motivation. It captures the bittersweet feeling of knowing your craft is worth more than the numbers show, and still pressing forward anyway. “Can’t Depend on Record Sales” is a reminder to bet on yourself, even when the odds don’t seem to stack in your favor.
This isn’t just a one-off collaboration—it’s a powerful statement from two artists who know the importance of staying grounded. With its jazzy production and honest lyricism, the track stands out in today’s oversaturated landscape. It proves that music with meaning still has a place and that real artists don’t wait for permission to speak their truth.
