FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

DJ Resolution takes Hip-Hop to "A New Era" with Mixtape: A Beacon for Artists' Rights

Los Angeles October 17th 2023 - The music industry is set to witness a seismic shift as DJ Resolution, in collaboration with RESPECT MUSIC™, prepares to unveil "A New Era," the ninth installment of the RESPECT MUSIC series. This mixtape isn't just about beats and rhymes; it's a powerful call to action, aimed at spotlighting an essential right that musicians possess, one that can be undeniably costly if not exercised in a timely manner.

The 1990s marked a transformative era in the world of music, defined by legendary talents who pushed boundaries and left an indelible mark on the industry. From EPMD, Eric B. & Rakim, EPMD, A Tribe Called Quest, and Lord Finesse to Gang Starr, Public Enemy, and Ice Cube, this was the Golden Age of Hip-Hop, a time of unparalleled lyrical dexterity and innovation.

However, under the current copyright law (17 U.S.C. § 106), there exists a vital but often overlooked right. Musicians who transferred or assigned their copyrights via recording agreements can recapture their master recording copyrights, in accordance with the provisions of 17 U.S.C. § 304 in the Copyright Act.

The consequences of failing to submit the notice of termination within the statutory timeframe are dire. Music creators and their heirs may find themselves “late to the party” facing the harsh reality of forever relinquishing their rights. This highlights the importance of vigilance and due diligence in safeguarding these invaluable rights.

DJ Resolution, and RESPECT MUSIC™ aim to connect with both artists and fans. This mixtape, along with the previous releases, paves the way for  a more equitable future for music creators, especially the heirs of artists who have composed the soundtracks of our lives. As DJ Resolution's "A New Era" mixtape sets the stage for a transformative journey, it is an invitation to all to embark on a new era of musical empowerment and advocacy. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of artists and ensure that their rights are celebrated, protected, and never lost.
