[@monicamariamclean2198]

Elle Warner and k Michelle they beefing for nothing it's just a song and if k Michelle wanted the song that bad she should have took the song and did something with the song before alverna got to the song but she got to the song first and k Michelle just better over a song she wrote the song she did whatever she had to do for the song so Cold Case is Elle Verner song to be honest k Michelle mad at her for no reason k Michelle just better to be better over a song

If you aren’t getting any radio play, no one is sampling your music, and hardly no one remembers you, what good is it to own your masters? Just like people swear independent artist are in control of their art but wonder why their favorite artist takes so long to release. What good is being indie when you have no budget to promote yourself or to record! A lot of you don’t know anything about the music industry but have convinced yourself you do!

[@unprogrammedminds]

Owning your masters is beneficial for any artist. It has nothing to do with any level of popularity. It's all about ownership. Once an artist owns their masters, they can do anything they'd like with the art they created and that can be far more lucrative than any 'hit song' or accolade.
