“I forgive everyone from the music industry that is involved with modern day slavery. Vengeance is only the lords,” he tweeted.

90% of the record contracts on the planet are still on a royalty A standard record deal is a trap to NEVER have you recoup, and there’s all these hidden costs like the “distribution fees” many labels put in their contracts to make even more money off our work without even trying.
