Ms. Lauryn Hill Releases Statement Supporting California Bill Attempting to Limit Label Power Over Artists
Ms. Lauryn Hill released a statement today on Instagram offering a message of support for the California bill the FAIR Act. If signed into law, the bill would repeal an amendment to California’s “Seven-Year Statute” that makes it so record labels can sue artists for damages if they leave after seven years but before fulfilling the required number of albums outlined in their contract. “Artists can easily fall prey to the internal politics of business, someone inside simply not liking them, or bullying and intimidation and the attacks that come when someone resists that coercion,” Hill writes. “Music is a most powerful medium. Often people want to influence the influencers and will top at nothing less than treachery to accomplish their goal. Greed often perverts the creative intentions...

Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves Designates April As Confederate Heritage Month, Says Systemic Racism Isn’t Real
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Pool / Getty How does one claim that systemic racism doesn’t exist while also dedicating a full month to the celebration of a thing that only existed because white people wanted to keep Black people in chains? Well, we can pose that very question to Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves (R). For three decades, Mississippi Republicans have been celebrating the Confederacy in the month of April. According to the Mississippi Free Press, Reeves, for the third year in a row, declared that April is Confederate Heritage Month. “April is the month when, in 1861, the American Civil War began between the Confederate and Union armies, reportedly the costliest and deadliest war ever fought on American soil,” he stated in this year’s proclamation. The proclamation—which is the...
