Music Is a Global Sport Now
Music is officially a global sport.
In Episode 115 of Rhythm & Rhymes, we explore the growing globalization of music — from major label expansion into Africa and emerging markets, to The Weeknd’s reported $1B catalog deal, and what it reveals about music as an asset class.
We also react to recent releases from 21 Savage, Conway the Machine, J Hus, and highlight movements within Amapiano, where sound, culture, and geography continue to blur.
Rhythm & Rhymes is a weekly podcast unpacking music, culture, and the systems that shape them.
