EP 186 - Music Business Special - Rodney P - "Learn to take criticism"

Raw music industry chat from the dubbed 'Godfather of UK Hip-Hip'
Rodney P.


He shares his frank thoughts about the business, how it affects
the music and what artists should do to safeguard their career.
We discuss the pros and cons of Spotify: is it good or bad for
the music industry? We also hear about Rodney's days as part of
seminal UK Hip-Hop group London Posse and how he got fired from
the band!


Rodney is an English MC and media personality who first gained
attention in the 1980s. Also known as The Riddim Killa, he
inspired a generation of artists by being the first rapper to use
an authentic London accent.


Over the years, Rodney has produced a homegrown Hip Hop vibe
rooted in the UK and has worked with everyone from Rootz Manuva
and Pharaoh Monch right through to the Brand New Heavies and
Bjork. He’s also hosted a raft of radio shows and documentaries
for the BBC.
