WhoAreI: Give black artists their master recordings back

"Give black artists their master recordings back tomorrow instead…Those that want out of their contracts, let them out tomorrow" - producer WhoAreI suggested prior to Blackout Tuesday. He might not be entirely right, but there's a sense of fairness behind his words - "These white millionaire major label owners gonna sit down to reflect on black lives tomorrow? is that so…they’re finally going to dedicate a day.. the day of June 2nd, 2020 to think about black lives and the black communities..black pain they constantly exploit??? they’re really gonna take a day to sit down with their company and talk bout it? Well shit…haha let me shut up actually…if they say so ill take it…pls god I hope they do & I hope they listen. Unfortunately they won't. They’re going to sit with their pr and figure out how to deflect the fact they are a clear reflection of the very problem at hand".
