"In this in-person workshop at The MLC's office in Nashville, Dae Bogan, Head of Third-Party Partnerships, will guide new and emerging Hip-Hop and R&B music creators through a 2-hour crash course demystifying music rights, credits, income entitlements, publishing administration and the flow and payout of U.S. digital music royalties.   Participants will engage in individual and group simulations including contribution and credit tracking, split negotiations, the impact of samples on copyrights and royalties, work registrations, claiming royalty shares and much more to gain a deeper understanding of how their contributions to songs and recordings translate into royalty payments from The MLC and other organizations."
