Anew Perspective

The Black Royal and Frank Hubb make guest appearances with DJ Kayode Olumoroti and Taiasha to discuss music marketing and hip-hop pioneer Grandmaster Flash after he was honored by the RIAA with DJ Jazzy Jeff.

DJ Kayode Olumoroti leads a discussion with special cohost Taiasha and independent artists The Black Royal and Frank Hubb (who works with Paul Law). We discuss me meeting Maxwell and Spike Lee along with the business lessons that I learned from those encounters. We also discuss major artists that have sold some of their catalog, such as Jay-Z and Chuck D of Public Enemy. All of this discussion was amidst us learning of the passing of Queen Elizabeth II.

Kayode Olumoroti interviews Joe Stu, an independent artist that has made a name for himself in underground boom-bap circles. He now has an EP that blazes a trail across oceans with a collab with Yeshen.

Kayode Olumoroti and Taiasha discuss mainstream music vs. indie music, the state of music streaming and samples.

Mr_FrankHubb and Holtzy join in on a conversation on how artists utilize the power of streaming on various apps and platforms. One artist’s trash is another artist’s treasure: as long as the strategy used does not cause a distributor to trash your music.

Meek Mill said he would leak his contract. Why is he so upset about his record deal? We will explore this prevalent issue in the music industry.

This is a slightly different perspective on the guilty verdict regarding D Chauvin for the murder of George Floyd. There’s still a lot of introspection and work that must be done.
