Trinidad Killa Faces Copyright Roadblock
Written by admin on November 1, 2022
Trinidadian artist Kern “Trinidad Killa” Joseph recently faced copyright infringement issues with his track “Eskimo,” which utilized the “Big Links Riddim” produced by Full Blown Entertainment without proper authorization. As a result, the song was removed from platforms like YouTube, Spotify, Apple Music, and SoundCloud.
In response, Trinidad Killa announced plans to recreate the beat for “Eskimo” independently, aiming to satisfy his audience’s demand for the track. He expressed disappointment over the situation, noting that his attempts to contact the original producers were unsuccessful. He stated, “I tried to reach out to the producers when I heard the rhythm… but I wasn’t getting on to anybody.”
This incident highlights the importance of securing proper permissions when using existing musical compositions. Trinidad Killa’s experience underscores the challenges artists face in navigating copyright laws within the music industry.
Despite these challenges, Trinidad Killa continues to produce new music. He recently released “Down In De Jouvert” on the “Spirit Riddim,” showcasing his resilience and commitment to his craft.
Listeners can look forward to the re-release of “Eskimo” with a new beat, as Trinidad Killa works to bring the song back to his fans while adhering to copyright regulations.
