Billboard Punished LaRussell For Being Indie

Описание: Independent rapper LaRussell recently faced a major setback when Billboard disqualified his album sales from charting, sparking a massive conversation about industry gatekeeping. We ask if LaRussell is placing too much emphasis on selling records for someone who is already successful outside the mainstream. Does this disqualification push a counter-narrative suggesting independent artists are ultimately forced to work within the traditional label system?

In this segment from New Old Heads Uncut episode 476 featuring Brotha2daKnight, we discuss the realities of independent success.
