The documentary also scrutinizes the behavior of the rapper Octavian, whose debut album release was scrapped by record label Black Butter, a joint venture with Sony Music. And the investigation details the pattern of sexual abuse by grime artist Solo 45, who is currently serving 30 years in prison after being convicted of 21 counts of rape and other offenses, including imprisonment and torture, against four women.
The industry doesn’t escape the tough questions. Two of the world’s leading music companies, Sony Music and Universal Music Group, whose division Island Records had signed Solo 45 in 2014, come under scrutiny in the show based on what they knew about Octavian and Solo 45, and when.
