Making it in the Ethiopian music industry is one of the hardest things an artist or a label can attempt. There's no clear playbook, little structure to lean on, and even less room for error. Every win comes with a cost, and every misstep gets magnified in an industry still figuring out its own rules. Now imagine being the label trying to build something lasting inside all of that chaos. That's the position one of the country's most talked about labels Meedo records finds itself in today. After years of helping shape a scene almost from scratch, it's now going through its own reckoning, learning hard lessons, and choosing to reinvent itself rather than stay the same. This is a story about what it really takes to run a record lable in Ethiopia the good the bad and the ugly.
