    What is a JV in music? Joint Venture Deals: The word 'joint' implies a joining of forces by a major label and an indie label, whereby they agree to share responsibility for the making of records and for the marketing and promotion of those records. ... In return, the independent label will pay a royalty to the major label for each record sold.

    Ppl want the accolades ppl want the awards and the acceptance you get from being in the major label system. I doubt that will ever change. Plus, expecting everyone to be on point with their business is unrealistic. Of course now that we’re having these convos more artists will be self sufficient. Major labels just need to give better contracts. Contracts are horrible.
