Despite his rap having a strong political undercurrent, the universality of Cole’s rhymes speak to a much larger group of people due to his empowering messages. In his album 4 Your Eyes Only, Cole works to sustain an evolving storyline of a man dealing drugs, dealing with love and loss, yet…

Label volunteer, Vicki Phillips, brings you a beautiful article for the first of our My Role Model series. It wasn’t until this summer, due to the passing of my Nan, that I discovered who my role models were. Through my first experience of grief, it showed me two perfect examples of who I would inspire to be like, my Nan and my Mother. Through my Nan’s short fight with cancer, her determination to not let death scare her inspired me. She never complained, asked why me? Her positivity, even in her hardest days, really gave me a new outlook…
