Relationships Between Artists And Record Labels

Sizwe Dhlomo and Sol Phenduka discussed the dynamics of relationships between artists and record labels. They touched on a few examples, highlighting exploitation, not just between artists and labels, but also between artists and their management. These examples include the infamous dispute between Zahara and TS Records; possible reasons Liquideep could have broken up (after playing one of their songs at the opening of the hour of the show); and Sho Madjozi’s situation at the brink of her global stardom. They also took questions about the inner workings of the music industry.
