Episode 89: Attack on TikTok

This week I got the multi-talented artist, engineer, and producer Adrian Rose pulling to the podcast. We talk about some of these high-profile court cases featuring prominent artists like Meg, Tory, and even Gunna. Later we have a conversation about music production and whether the trend of artists working with one exclusive producer is the way to go. The government has also stepped up their attacks on social media including a plans to ban Tiktok altogether. These topics and much more on Episode 89 of the 280+ Podcast!
