Part 6/8:
Lanez’s narrative reveals simmering truths about the music industry that resonate beyond his own experience. He draws parallels between the almighty power of record labels and darker themes of control, likening them to the devil. His music video for "Most High" illustrates this conflict visually, portraying the music industry as a battleground where artists struggle against a systemic force that seeks to bind them in contracts that serve corporate interests rather than their artistic freedom.
In several songs, he delves deeper into the alleged conditions under which artists operate, claiming many have made Faustian bargains and employed nefarious methods to achieve success, further complicating the narrative surrounding their artistry.
