As a community it's imperative that we come together to organize so we can educate each other on the deep issues that affect us. Given the current outbreak and pandemic, it has been too convenient for media outlets and talking pundits to liken racism to a virus; one of which there doesn't appear…

Although Hip Hop is by far the youngest of all genres, since its inception it has been proven to be the most vocal and trendsetting over the years. Nevertheless even wIth numerous artists achieving success, it’s been limited to a market cap due to what ultimately comes down to ownership.    

It’s well understood that once an artist signs a recording contract, he or she assigns all rights pursuant to 17 U.S.C. § 106 to that of the record label. The current statutory term or duration an assignee has for…

The following transcript is an excerpt of an interview with Professor of law Tom W Bell, author of Intellectual Privilege, Copyright, Common law and the Common Good.  

“Part of your argument is that common law principles actually work better than  current copyright statutes. I’m wondering can you explain that a little bit. “ Todd Krainin  

“By the common law I mean fundamentally those few simple rules  of contract law, property law and tort law: that kind of form the foundational  principles of our legal…

When it comes to the newly introduced bill called the Music Modernization Act (the “MMA”), there’s good news and bad news. 

First, I want to offer some good news.  Many lawmakers from both sides of the aisle appear to be finally waking up to the fact that, in the absence of updated copyright laws, present-day technologies are destroying the livelihoods of music creators, especially workaday creators.  Our elected leaders recognize that changes in the law need to be made.  I think I speak for most…

Young N Reckless, the revolutionary hip hop group that has been making waves since they first formed, has announced a new single on Presidents Day. 

The song is being considered quite controversial as it addresses the hypocrisy of the political system. Their aim is to point out the critical flaws of the federal government, the hypocrites that are a part of it, and in addition open the eyes of those who actually listen to the song.  

Young N Reckless is definitely  not new to controversy. Their previous…

Today, September 18th 2017 marks the fifth anniversary of our debut album Imagine That. We've been very blessed with the gift to craft our experiences through music and in turn share that with the world. The success we achieve is merely a reflection of all the fans that have supported us along this journey. The concept of this album was to provide a new perspective on time with our music. Though the process of creating this project was somewhat magical, once complete we knew we'd put together something…

And though we've changed in our endeavors I found we still have things in common.

Cuz the way we are when we're together it lets me know that we love one another.

Now ain't it strange, and wonderful that we're still friends, we're still friends

The existence of music is almost as old as human existence. Even the oldest civilizations used some type of music instrument to produce the sounds they enjoyed. With human evolution, music has progressed a lot. Countless musicians have experimented with instruments through the course of time to get the current refined form of music we listen to and enjoy today. It can be confidently said that humans have always craved for music as it is an essential need for human beings. 

According to Martin Luther, "Next…

Man I swear I should have listened when they told me...all about you
Now I'm sitting here thinking how you played me...you played me for a fool 

Girl I wouldn't treat a dog the way you treated me
Girl I wouldn't treat a dog the way you treated me
