Part two of our "How musicians get paid" series dives into how songwriters make money, followed by a discussion on publishing deals. Then we break down Spotify’s new “payola” lawsuit, look at Ireland’s universal basic income for musicians, and talk about Kanye West’s recent public apology. 

A lil’ music-biz, a lil’ legal tea, and a whole lot of game for songwriters trying to level up.
