In this explosive episode of the Arkatech Beatz Music Business Podcast, we dive into two major music industry controversies. First, we explore the rumors about record labels dropping artists in droves due to budget cuts and bot-inflated streaming numbers. Are labels cleaning house, or are artists paying the price for an industry shift toward independence?

Then, we tackle the Super Bowl halftime controversy—why was Kendrick Lamar chosen to headline in Louisiana, leaving Lil Wayne, a hometown legend, out in the cold? We break down the politics behind the Super Bowl’s selection process and the potential shift away from legacy artists like Wayne.

Whether you're an artist trying to navigate the cutthroat world of music or just a fan of the Super Bowl and hip-hop culture, this episode unpacks it all. Tune in to hear how these industry moves are affecting the future of music.
