Lets name rappers/artists who we know own their Masters

Jay-Z
Nas (from King’s Disease onward)
J.Cole
Childish Gambino
Rihanna
Frank Ocean
21 Savage



Also RIP to Michael Jackson and Prince. Both fought for and owned their Masters in the end
Drake certainly has to own some of his right? Maybe not the first few albums but didn’t he reup his deal after Views? Same for Taylor Swift after she left Big Machine and went to Republic,
I believe I heard Yo Gotti has some of his

I don’t know about Drake I couldn’t find anything on him.


Taylor Swift owns her Masters for her newer work but she’s still fighting for her back catalogue. I didn’t put her on the lost because I was focusing more on black artists

He owns everything, and has since from the very beginning of his career :wow:

When he signed with Glassnote he licensed his masters out to them but still retained ownership

Yeah he owns them, if you see him and Bloody Bird as the same person.
