Recently, Issa Rae just wrapped up the series finale of her popular show ‘Insecure.’ The show featured a lot of new and fresh music as the backdrop for comedy delivered, but Issa Rae noted that she had to navigate the music industry to get a hold of these songs, which she isn’t a fan of.
Issa Rae spoke to the Los Angeles Times and laid out why the music industry feels like the “worst” industry for an artist. “It’s probably the worst industry that I have ever come across. I thought Hollywood was crazy. The music industry, it needs to start over,” said Issa.
She continued explaining, saying, “Conflicts of interest abound. Archaic mentalities. Crooks and criminals! It’s an abusive industry, and I really feel for artists that have to come up in it. [...] Being a creator myself and knowing what I want in terms of a relationship with a production company or a producer, I’d like to think that we’re more artist-friendly than a lot of other labels and companies out there. I want to revamp things.” Issa Rae is on to something, as artists like Big Sean have recently spoken out about his “sh*tty” record deal with GOOD Music.
