First and foremost, fuck Blockberry Creative and all that they stand for.

In a genre who’s eventual mark on the music industry will be mismanagement, downright cruel business practices that prioritize image and capital over artist’s wellbeing, leading to successful suicides from some of the genre’s largest stars, slave labor contracts, capitalistic greed, sexual assault coverups, and poorly concealed abuse scandals, it is a breath of fresh air to see a group crafting their ... read more
