These companies have had mass layoffs in entire radio departments. So a lot of these artists have no one to promote their records. You might not give a fuck, but radio pays FAR MORE than streaming. Entire marketing divisions have been gutted. So when you guys complain about “promotion and marketing” or lack there of… this is why. There hasn’t been a black music department at a major label in over a decade. So black executives are often not in charge of black ass artists and their projects Money has been pulled OUT of black music and diverted to other genres. When you guys complain and try to shit on artists about their lack of visibility and slow Sales, always remember that there were departments that made that possible. Street teams, public relations, designers, creative directors, radio consultants, a&r’s, college reps, and interns that died on the vine before you could ever get to know who they were. They’re all jobless now, and have been replaced with AI and people who know nothing about music but think you’re dumb enough to buy a record from someone just bc they have a lot of IG followers But no… no they didn’t do anything at all 🤷🏾‍♂️
