The producer to artist pipeline on beatcorelab

Something cool I've noticed: many producers on beatcorelab are also releasing their own music as artists. The advantage is huge: - You make your own beats (free) - You understand production quality - You have a built-in audience from beat sales - beatcorelab lets you showcase both roles I've started releasing instrumentals as standalone music, not just for sale. The streaming revenue is a nice bonus on top of lease income. Any other producer-artists here? How do you balance both roles?
