Adoption has steadily increased, and they accounted for 80 percent of the revenue from the first half of 2019. Despite these record-breaking numbers, the artists who actually create and perform the music aren’t reaping much benefit.

In fact, I might have noted its meaning just once in school when we still had Social Studies classes and we were taught a lesson on societal vices (or something like that). Xenophobia was almost like racism, my teacher had said. But, “it is racism among your own people”. For the life of me, I couldn’t make sense of that. How is one racist towards his own people? Well, fast forward many years after and I have the answer.
