Nah, it’s hard to compete with that level of corporation period - let alone be black owned. If something did pop up, they’d throw mad money at em and buy em out.
That would be crazy if YouTube becomes that big.
They already are…Lyhor Cohen been runnin’ their music department the last handful of years!!!…
I’m Not Sure This Is A Really Interesting Question Though… 🤔🤔🤔

Feel like the chance was missed. Jay with Tidal could’ve did something, but it’s hardly a “black company”. Damn near the entire dev team is white.

I see where things are going…if things continue on the way they are…currently…nothin’ is stoppin’ your fave rapper/mogul that brags about how wealthy they are from starting a Black owned label…but like someone mentioned they’re gonna sellout to the highest bidder…that way they can keep braggin’ bout how rich they are while s***tin’ on Black people that don’t have it!!!…
No because niggas is always selling out for the lowest prices in hindsight
True but there’s gonna be one nigga that don’t sell out!!!…All it takes is one!!!…

I think we’ve gone as far as we can go with things gettin’ out of hand so there has to be a destroy and rebuild process…but the thing is we may have to rebuild somewhere else!!!…

Yeah it seems as if the world is shedding. But everything evolves at one point.

Gamma updates the record label
The Future. Former Apple exec Larry Jackson is launching a new record label called Gamma with some of the biggest names in hip hop. Armed with a business plan that lets artists keep ownership (a recent desire for everybody from Taylor Swift to Kendrick Lamar), Jackson may be at the forefront of remixing the power dynamic of music in the streaming era.
License to license
Larry Jackson is creating a record label for the artist-ownership era.
Jackson’s Gamma is launching with $1 billion in funding from investors such as Todd Boehly’s Eldridge, Apple, and A24.
Gamma’s pitch is that he’s an “alternative to traditional record labels,” per Bloomberg.
The focus is on long-term licensing over ownership so artists have more control.
And artists love the sound of that — Gamma will soon release music from Snoop Dogg, Usher, and Rick Ross.
And to avoid needing to partner with a major label to distribute music to streaming services, Gamma has acquired distribution pipeline startup Vydia.
Gamma is also already looking into content creation outside of music — it has struck deals with A24 for films and The Shade Room for podcasts.
No size fits all
For those wondering, betting on Jackson (who worked for Clive Davis and Jimmy Iovine) is a good bet.
While at Apple, he convinced Drake to release his music on Apple Music before it went up on other streamers.
He convinced Frank Ocean to cut out a record label and release his new album exclusively on the service as well.
And now, with Snoop Dogg, Gamma is showing just how innovative it can be. When Snoop bought Death Row Records, he pulled all of its music from streaming and was deciding on what to do next. That’s when Jackson pitched him a unique way of getting the music back out — dripping some of Snoop’s spoken-word songs from Dr. Dre’s The Chronic on TikTok to build buzz.
The plan worked, and the songs blew up (again). Now, with Gamma, Snoop Dogg is planning to put all of Death Row’s music back up.
