## Resource

AJ and Antonio trace the direct line from Miami bass record shops to DJ Marlboro's Funk Brasil (1989) — the origin story of baile funk — then pivot to the business: Ed Sheeran's amicable Warner exit, why major labels are still too big to fail (73.3% of all streams are catalog), and what Spotify's new AI remixes deal actually means for artists who let their music breathe. New music from Blxst, Joe Duet Filé, Odeal x Stormzy, Juls, and a spotlight on Sadboy — the Antiguan-Jamaican-Toronto artist doing baile funk in English better than anyone.
