Ledisi is so passionate about the art of what she does. Love seeing this

Thank God this conversation is being had. I love it. I love R&B and I will
never lose hope in it. One of the best art forms of music out there.?

3. Limited amount of exposure to core audience
4. Syndicated morning radio #SameSongs
5. Payola
6. Corporate takeover/shelving/consolidating
7. Assembly line artists
8. More money in hip hop/ rap (look at the concert crowds)
9. Access to technology
10. Arts programs depleted from schools/neighborhoods
11. Closing of record stores
12…..
