MIAMI (CBSMiami) – The music industry is pressing pause in an initiative called Blackout Tuesday.
It is dominating social media: the posting of a simple black square image showing solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement. And within the movement a specific call for the multibillion-dollar music industry to take a time out Tuesday – literally not work. Using #TheShowMustBePaused, two music executives spearheaded this initiative indicating a long-term call to action to be announced.
CBS4’s Lisa Petrillo spoke with Ted Lucas owner of SlipNSlide Records in Miami. He created the careers of a number of artists including Trick Daddy, Trina, and Rick Ross. He’s a Miami Gardens native and represented by David Bercuson, PA.
