Grime-punk sensation Bob Vylan has launched a scathing attack on the music industry, branding it as "out of touch" and exploitative. The outspoken artist didn’t hold back in his critique, accusing the industry of failing to support working-class musicians while prioritising profit over artistry.
In a blistering statement, Vylan highlighted the systemic issues plaguing the scene. "The industry thrives on exploiting talent," he said. "They’ll take everything from you and give nothing back unless it lines their pockets."
The Struggle for Authenticity
Vylan, known for his raw lyricism and unapologetic stance, emphasised how difficult it is for artists from underprivileged backgrounds to break through. "If you’re not from money or connections, you’re fighting an uphill battle," he explained. "The gatekeepers don’t care about real talent—they care about what sells."
A Call for Change
The musician didn’t just criticise—he called for action. "We need to dismantle this system that only benefits a select few," Vylan urged. "Artists deserve fair pay, creative control, and respect—not just empty promises."
His words have resonated with fans and fellow artists alike, sparking a heated debate about inequality in the music business. Will this be the wake-up call the industry needs?
