Should Producers “Vibe” With Artistes Before Talking Money?
Fresh L, rapper and a member of the DRB Lasgidi trio, may have started an important conversation. Yesterday, the artiste tweeted about producers who prioritized money over the simple and spiritual act of creating music; in other words, vibing with an artiste.
Fresh L ‘s tweet; in the comments section, producer and rapper Alpha Ojini aired his thoughts, However, a lot of industry insiders – producers, journalists, artistes, A&R have responded in disagreement with Fresh L’s views.
Sharing personal stories in which producers were cheated out of their pay, it was illuminating to see how structure less the industry was, and how artistes stoke this fire of underpaid producers.
