The Moneypenny Life

It's nearing the end of 2008, I thought it was about time to spruce up the blog as plenty has changed, I now work in music publishing and love it...and yes, a little bit of my heart will always be in love with New York. Welcome to the new life.

Wonder Why??




Do You Ever Wonder…?

- Isn’t it time in the UK that our hip hop artists had the same impact that any American rapper does in the UK and internationally?

- Don’t you think it’s time we addressed the issues preventing our artists from becoming well paid super stars?

- Who do you think is to blame? Radio? TV? Executives? What can we do to change the situation for the better?

- Should America show more solidarity and support for our artists? Should the media stop pitting us against them and instead work on bringing hip hop all over the world together?

- Isn’t it time that our artists and our very own UK hip hop movement stops being treated like second rate artists?

- Why don’t we look at our own hip hop history and start to show the world how proud of our history and our artists we really are?

If we create more record sales from UK artists, garner more airplay, place more publicity, see more international artists working together, see more UK headliners or even make one person think of a bigger picture for a UK artist, then we will have achieved something great.

This being the tip of iceberg, is only the beginning, may the doors open further for all of us through our endeavours together.
