First for music news
Jay-Z has spoken out about the music industry, telling Radio 1 Newsbeat that record labels need to be "smarter" in order to survive. "Records are not selling as many as they were before," he explained. "People have to be smarter about how they A&R, and what they put out, record companies need to catch up to that, someone needs to send them the memo." Pic: Dean Chalkley
