The music industry isn’t just about the songs you hear—it’s shaped by powerful forces behind the scenes. This week we uncover the Big Three record labels and their massive influence over awards, catalogs, and artists. From Grammy dominance to acquisitions, we discuss how these powerhouses operate and question the limits of their control.

We also take on Ticketmaster’s hold on live events, exploring why its monopoly faces growing backlash and whether real change is on the horizon. Finally, we spotlight Frank Ocean’s game-changing move to reclaim his independence and the lessons it offers to today’s artists.

Tune in for an honest look at the business side of music and what it means for fans and creators alike.
