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.
