In this episode of the Arkatech Beatz Music Business Podcast, platinum producers Jugrnaut and Mike Trauma D dive deep into the seismic shifts currently rocking the music industry. With the landscape rapidly changing, artists and producers alike are finding themselves at a crossroads, faced with the challenge of adapting to new realities or being left behind.
