Description

Music history is full of stories of Black artists getting ripped off for their work. Bad deals, no credit, low investment and hundreds of other horror stories. What would have happened if people had been paid fairly and credited for their work since the beginning of recorded music? What could have been done with all those resources? How many other doors could have been opened for different artists, styles and sounds. Start it with the music you grew up on and think about what happened to some of the most amazing artists. I don't think we would have just 3 major labels and only a couple of large global promoters. I think there would be a few more streaming services and other options of how to listen to music. Originally written on March 28th 2022 - This is the first mint of my 🟨 series I’ve been posting on Instagram in 2022. I don’t want my writing to just exist within that ecosystem and I’m constantly going to iterate how I share work online. All of these mints will be experiments, and as I work out this space they will gradually get more intricate. I’ve set royalty to 50% to illustrate the point in the image. I’ve set the price as 0.001 ETH which is equal to $1 today the same price as an MP3. I’ve made 300 editions as that is the same amount of vinyl I pressed when I started my own DIY label back in 2010. Thank you for all the support on my work in 2022 Elijah
