Spotify has rolled this out for well established artist. It’s in beta and suppose to rollout to all users later this year.
MUSIC INDUSTRY HOT TAKE - how artists are tagged on DSPs is broken. Artists would benefit from DSPs having a checks and balances system - when an artist is being tagged as a primary artist on a release that's not theirs, they must choose to accept it in order for the release to show up on their profile and in their DSP backend. It's so easy for an artist to get tagged by another artist not realizing they are interrupting a rollout and potentially causing massive consequences, intefering with that artist's original release. It's unfair to the artist and a broken system in general.

One of your first artist you had on Gamma that left . . . He’s independent now “again” is NOT named in any of these allegations but he is always going after labels for boosting streams and etc! đŸ€” musicbusinessworldwide.com/l

1. Ted Lucas signed you to his slip n slide 2. Then Hov came in and do a JV deal with slip n slide 3. You don’t own all your masters 4. You never had a successful headline tour 
. Maybe this current orchestra one might be your only one 5. J.U.S.T.C.E. League saved you lol
Rick Ross says 50 Cent doesn’t own his masters and lives in a 2 bedroom apartment. "All I used to tell him is: you can't dress, you're not really getting no money, you don't own your masters." "And I'm not speaking down on him because he lives in a two bedroom apartment, but Eminem saved you, Dr. Dre saved you, all the big names, Rozay did it himself."

You hear a lot about the negative side of the music industry, and some of it is valid. But a lot of people are also speaking from artist rants, half-truths, and situations they don’t fully understand. The bigger issue right now is oversaturation. It’s easier than ever to put music out, but harder than ever to break through. There’s so much music dropping every day that if you’re not making noise, people probably won’t find you. That means artists have to promote, market, create content, build community, and push themselves harder than before. And I get it — a lot of artists just want to make great music and let that be enough. But unless you have a team doing the dirty work, you have to do it yourself. No manager, label, or team is going to want it more than you do. If you want people to believe in you and push your music, they need to see you pushing it first.

That’s stupid! These wack ass DJ aka Podcasters. Y’all just ruin the game. Either play it or don’t! End of the day you are playing for the people coming to your party! Not for yourself!
🚹 DJ Hed says some LA DJs felt conflicted playing Drake’s “Too Hard for the Radio” because of certain lines
 so he made his own edited version removing the bars aimed at specific people so DJs could still spin the record DJ Hed says the edit is free & available for anyone that wants to play the song without those parts “We don’t wanna disrespect the homies.” (via Effective Immediately w/ Gina Views)

What is “real artistry”?

I get the concern, but I don’t think it’s that simple. There’s a huge difference between private user-generated AI remixes for personal listening and letting random people publicly exploit an artist’s work, voice, likeness, or composition without approval. If it’s public, monetized, searchable, playlisted, or algorithmically pushed — then yes, artists/writers/producers need control, approval, and compensation. No question. But if it’s basically a personal listening tool — like a user making their own version inside their account that nobody else can hear or profit from — that’s a different conversation. The real issue isn’t “remixing” by itself. Music has always had remixes, covers, samples, mashups, edits, DJs, producers flipping records, etc. The issue is consent, control, attribution, and money. Calling every use “evil” ignores the fact that technology can be structured in a way that protects creators. But if platforms use AI remixes to flood the market, replace real artists, or let labels/platforms own the upside while creators lose control — then yeah, that’s a major problem.

This is a little dramatic. Putting your logo and © notice on a video is fine, but that’s not some magic shield against platform terms, Content ID, licensing, or AI tools. The real issue is consent, licensing, attribution, and compensation — not just typing “this is copyrighted” in the caption. If YouTube or Spotify are allowing AI remixes, the question is: is it licensed, opt-in, monetized correctly, and are the actual rights holders getting paid? That’s the conversation. Not “they stole my copyright because I didn’t put a logo on it.”
Not only Spotify. YouTube has also decided that our tracks can be used however they want — for remixes, AI generation, and anything else. This is not support for creators. This is a quiet attempt to steal our copyright on our own work. Simple and mandatory rule: Always put on every video: Your logo Country © Author (e.g.: Finland © Oleg Aliev 2026) Clear statement that this is your copyrighted material Do not give away your creativity for free. Protect yourself. This is no longer paranoia — it’s necessity. #Copyright #MusicRights #YouTube #Spotify

The issue is we don’t know the splits yet. Spotify and UMG announced licensed AI covers/remixes with participating artists, consent, credit, and compensation — but they haven’t disclosed who gets what. I agree labels see this as a new monetization lane and a way to keep catalog/major artists culturally active. But saying they “own every consumer remix and take majority revenue” is speculation until the terms are public. The bigger concern is whether these remixes stay private to the user or become public, shareable, algorithm-fed content. If it’s private, fine. If it starts competing in discovery with real artists, that’s where it becomes a problem for independents.

My understanding is the labels want the latter. That they own the rights to any consumer remix and take majority of revenue. They see it as critical in keeping their stable of artists relevant and in the cultural awareness. Due to the recent algorithm changes it’s going to be a key way of breaking out. Each remix is another chance to go viral, pushed by a content creator with hopefully a new audience. This is amazing for established artists and labels . This is brutal to new artists, especially independents.

I’m not fully against Spotify experimenting with AI remix covers, but it has to be user-generated and private. Meaning: if a listener wants to make an AI remix or cover for their own personal listening, fine. But it should stay in their own account, their own library, and their own listening experience. It should not be publicly available, monetized, playlisted, recommended, or pushed into the same ecosystem as real artists’ releases. That’s where the line is for me. Personal use is one thing. Turning AI covers into public content that competes with actual artists is a completely different issue. But the earnings don’t come from the general pool of money!

My kids really want this feature. They only like 2-4 artists and have grown bored with their catalog . This would allow them to get similar music without having to waste time exploring new artists. It’s strange how kids have such little interest in pure music. If it’s not part of some cool TikTok clip they don’t care much. In my day we talked about bands and releases every day with our friends.
