“This entrepreneurship journey is not for the weak of heart,” Rodney Williams tells Apple Music. “Every day is a struggle between fighting through the hardships, growing and learning.” Williams, who co-founded the data platform LISNR, is a technology innovator whose latest venture SoLo Funds aims to address the need for healthy consumer loan options. For Black History Month, Williams created an Apple Music playlist chock-full of the timeless hip-hop that inspires his grind. “I’m more Kanye than Jeezy and more Hov than Meek, but I’m more Cole than anything else,” Williams says. “I am just a kid with a dream to change the world by any means necessary.”
