KILL THE RECORD LABELS - THE DOCUMENTARY

Thu, May 28, 2009

The documentary film 'Kill The Record Labels', directed by Charles Rand & T.Thomas, features some of the hottest artists in hip hop music expressing their views regarding the state of the industry. For decades, hip hop was under the control of the record companies and corporations, but eventually artists adapted the labels’ formula and began strategically promoting and marketing their own music. This evolution has created a major conflict within the industry. “Hip Hop music has become the voice of the urban community,” says Rand. “Artists like 50 Cent and Bun B make music about real life situations that happen in their neighborhoods. Generally, artists don’t make music about what goes on inside the music business. I made this film to give DJs, artist, and producers a voice.” Check the trailer here or watch the full documentary on demand at killtherecordlabels.com   Kill The Record Labels
