Description

This episode reveals the fight for artistic control — from Prince and Taylor Swift to Ye and Lil Wayne. It unpacks the difference between masters and publishing, exposes the trap of major label deals, and spotlights the artists who chose independence over illusion. Ownership isn’t just about business — it’s about survival.
