  • Bishop Lamont Says The Industry Is Programming The Masses
    Apr 16 2026
    In this episode, I sit down with Bishop Lamont for a deep, unfiltered conversation about the reality of the music business and the forces operating behind the scenes. Bishop opens up about his experience being signed to Dr. Dre, the highs and lows of navigating an industry filled with politics, agendas, and fake relationships. We dive into how music and media are used to shape culture and influence the minds of the masses — from industry pressure to the idea of psychological programming and MK-Ultra. Bishop also breaks down his new album “Just Don’t Die”, his journey of staying authentic in a business that often rewards conformity, and why he continues to push forward despite the obstacles. This is a raw, thought-provoking discussion about art, power, influence, and survival in an industry built on illusion. 🔥 Get Bishop Lamont’s new album “Just Don’t Die” at: www.therevindicated.com
