In this episode of the Top Music Attorney Podcast, Entertainment Attorney, Miss Krystle discusses the dark truth behind Universal’s aggressive expansion—and why it’s starting to look less like business as usual and more like the rise of a monopoly.

Miss Krystle breaks down the latest moves and what every artist should know about Universal’s not-so-quiet takeover of the industry.
