On this episode of our 2018 year end series ‘Merry Dripmas’ we are joined by a very special guest Nicola Davies from Mixcloud fame, we discuss:

* Why is so much music being released at one time?* Must you drop or die?* Do albums matter any more? * The importance of the Miseducation of Lauryn Hill* Has streaming killed the traditional album? State of music industry revisited…* What role does Soundcloud, Mixcloud and streaming more generally have to play in future of releases? * Was Drake’s ‘More Life’ the catalyst for this shift?* Does an artist need to be prolific to be successful? (e.g. DMX in 1998)* Broaden the scope away from just hip hop
