What Black Owned music labels would you join, if you could? My choice would have to be from the UK so either 'Boy Better Know' or 'Bluku Music' for me.
None, tbh. Q-Tip taught us industry rule #4080 a long time ago, and that rule still holds true. Furthermore, record labels as we knew them are pretty much obsolete. As an artist with access to the internet, I can put out my own music, do my own branding/marketing, book my own shows, etc.
I would never join a label. They take a HUGE chunk of your earnings. I would rather work my way up as an independent if I were to get into music and then hire a team around me. Labels are designed to screw over artists, it don't matter who runs it. Thanks to the internet, they aren't needed anymore either.
