Game Changers

I've been meaning to post this for almost a month now, I held back until the third and final part was released...which was last week, yet I only sourced it today.

Game Changers is a promotional series from Atlantic Records, highlighting the roster of new talent emerging from their label. The series looks at four musicians, who are in essence, changing the game. Moderated by Billboard editor Danyel Smith, the round table discussion sees Lupe Fiasco, B.o.B., Janelle Monae, and Estelle discussing touring, discipline, when and how they became game changers, and a lot more.

Shot in three parts, it is fascinating to enter the minds of four very talented musicians from various musical backgrounds. The energy in the room is evident and it is clear to see the connection between each artist involved in the discussion. What surprises me the most, as an avid Lupe fan, is his involvement and openness, considering his ongoing creative battle with Atlantic (see LupeE.N.D. Blog). However, it is inspiring to listen to the intelligence of Janelle Monae, the humour of Lupe, Bobby's fresh faced approach and Estelle's British perspective.

You can watch the complete series below, and as a bonus, I've placed the wonderful Wondamix of Janelle Monae's Tightrope, featuring B.o.B. and Lupe Fiasco, at the end.
