WHAT:
With the second anniversary of the shooting of her client, Makeda Barnes-Joseph, at the hands of rap and hip-hop artist Remy Ma having past last month, Attorney Lauren P. Raysor is asking all record companies to insert a “morality clause” in their contracts with all artists — not just rap and hip-hop artists — as a way to show them there are consequences for their actions. Ms. Raysor will have visuals explaining what the morality clause entails, as well as a 12-foot-long timeline chronicling violent incidents involving rap and hip-hop artists.
