Is This The End? Record Labels Shift from Hip-Hop to Afro Beats & Latin Music
In this episode of the Arkatech Beatz Music Business Podcast we discuss the music industry's shift away from Hip-Hop Music. In recent years, Hip-Hop has been at the forefront of the industry, leading charts and breaking records. As we've just celebrated the 50th anniversary of Hip-Hop, are we witnessing a new transition? We dive deep into the apparent shift from Hip-Hop, as labels increasingly prioritize Afro Beats and Latin Music. We talk about how the lack of creativity, negative music, and lack of artist development may be impacting the genre, and causing the industry to no longer prioritize it for more lucrative genres like Afro Beats, and Latin Music.
