IMPORTANT: None of the musicians or individuals depicted in this video are being accused of a crime. While sources suggest some of them had engaged in payola via their record labels or independent promoters, that doesn't mean the artist did anything illegal.

A huge shout out to Kerry Seagrave's "Payola In The Music Industry" which provided the historical basis for much of this video.   / payola-in-the-music-industry
