Prince says record contracts are just like slavery
The artist currently known as Prince has joined the chorus of musicians criticizing the state of the music industry, comparing record contracts to slavery during a press event promoting his partnership with Jay Z’s TIDAL.
"Record contracts are just like — I'm gonna say the word – slavery," the artist said at the event at his own Paisley Park Studios, according to NPR. "I would tell any young artist...don't sign.”
Prince’s music can now be found exclusively on TIDAL after the artist removed his music from streaming sites like Spotify in July. The music legend then went on to praise Jay Z and TIDAL for building a streaming service that puts artists front and center.
