  • Billboard Change Agents: Leaders Stepping up in a Year of Turmoil
    Billboard Change Agents: Leaders Stepping Up In A Year of Turmoil billboard.com/articles/business/9517071/billboard-change-agents-list-2021 By Billboard Staff 1/28/2021 © 2021 Billboard Media, LLC. All rights reserved. BILLBOARD is a registered trademark of Billboard IP Holdings, LLC Over the past year, the music industry began an extraordinary transformation. Heavy-hitting task forces were assembled to tackle racial inequality amid a wave of national protests against police brutality, while music’s biggest companies committed hundreds of millions of dollars to the cause. Artists and their managers, agents and promoters — many of whom saw their income plummet in the pandemic — were forced to reinvent their businesses as they sought relief from organizations fighting to help the live industry survive. Through it all, music professionals marched in the streets, encouraged people to vote in a historic election, brainstormed solutions on virtual panels and mourned the loss of family, friends and music legends to COVID-19. In other words, it didn’t feel much like a year for congratulating music’s most powerful people on how powerful they still are. So instead of compiling the Power List that Billboard has published annually since 2012, we decided instead to honor some of the individuals changing the business — both by advocacy and by example — in our first Change Agents issue. 1/39 This is by no means meant to be a comprehensive list of music executives fighting for justice or changing the game. It does not, for example, include the heads of the major music groups, even though Universal Music Group chairman/CEO Lucian Grainge announced an initial $25 million “Change Fund,” convened a social justice task force and promised more action to follow, while Sony Music Group chairman Rob Stringer drove the creation of a $100 million Sony fund to fight racism around the world and Warner Music Group CEO Steve Cooper pledged to steer a $100 million donation from owner Len Blavatnik to music industry charities and social justice as well.

  • Buzzing Rapper Chika Drops New Single “Industry Games” Listen Here Fiery Track Featured on the Cover of Apple Music's
    BUZZING RAPPER CHIKA DROPS NEW SINGLE “INDUSTRY GAMES” LISTEN HERE FIERY TRACK FEATURED ON THE COVER OF APPLE MUSIC’S NEW MUSIC DAILY PLAYLIST HERE DOWNLOAD ARTWORK HERE – DOWNLOAD PRESS PHOTOS HERE February 18, 2020 (Los Angeles, CA) – Alabama rapper/singer/poet Chika unleashes lyrical lessons over a hard-hitting beat on her brand new single, “Industry Games” – listen HERE via Warner Records. Chika is the featured artist on Apple Music’s New Music Daily playlist. On "Industry Games,” Chika envelops the sparse soundscape by switching from quick cadences into a vibrant and venomous hook: “Industry games, yeah, rapping but they not in love with it, think it’s a shame yeah, I’m ‘bout to pop on some other sh*t, think it’s a game – they don’t control where I land, royal flush n***a the cards in my hand.” Stay tuned for the premiere of the accompanying music video. “Industry Games” sets the stage for the release of Chika’s soon-to-be-released Warner Records debut EP of the same title. Chika has quickly established herself as a vital voice for the culture. Born in Alabama and based in Los Angeles, the 22-year-old rapper, singer, songwriter and poet opted to kickstart her career on the mic instead of enrolling in Berklee College of Music. The risk paid off. After starring as the face of Calvin Klein’s #MyCalvin campaign, she introduced a scorching signature style on her 2019 independent debut single “No Squares.” Cardi B championed her, and Lena Waithe welcomed her to perform on Jimmy Kimmel LIVE! Waithe and director SH00TER also joined forces with her for the video “High Rises,” which was filmed in Alabama.

Black male rappers have perpetuated this expectation in hip hop to be hard, to be gangsta, the "ultra-aggressive nigga," or the "badass thug" as Jason Nichols notes.
