“It’s probably the worst industry that I have ever come across,” Rae told the Los Angeles Times. “I thought Hollywood was crazy. The music industry, it needs to start over.

“Being a creator myself and knowing what I want in terms of a relationship with a production company or a producer, I’d like to think that we’re more artist-friendly than a lot of other labels and companies out there,” Rae said. “I want to revamp things.”
Rae has already made progress in that space, launching the Sync Up campaign with her Raedio platform to give emerging artists a chance to have their music featured in the final season of “Insecure”.
