AllHipHop: You have your hands in everything. How are you learning to delegate that responsibility?Shawn Chrystopher: It’s funny. Honestly, I tell them all the time that they just have to do it. It just has to be done. If I’m there—if they’re waiting on me to tell them—I won’t tell anybody because I’ll just end up doing it. Nobody knows how to do it like I want it. I’d rather people just do it and I just tweak it. I have great people around me who understand me; so, they just go ahead and take the initiative. Like, ‘Hey, do you like this?’ Rather me having to start from scratch. Within the last 48 hours I’ve been in the studio for 12 hours. I’ve edited this new web series…I’ve been on Photoshop working on some photos and these tour posters. Always being on social media, talking to my fans on Facebook and Twitter, and everything like that.
