Every year, the Urban ONE staff link up for annual team meetings and a week-long blitz of radio programming from some of the biggest record labels in the game.

However, this year we got something a bit more special: Colby Colb helped to moderate a live conversation with GOATed music exec, Larry Jackson. From his work in making stars out of Ruben Studdard and now-EGOT Jennifer Hudson during their American Idol beginnings to his work in playing a pivotal role at J Records and also helping to make Apple Music pop, it goes without saying that he’s a man with many gems.

Now he’s using his expertise of the business to launch a new era of music stars through Gamma. Not exactly a record label but with equal if not more power of the Billboard charts at the moment, Jackson joined us for a meeting of the minds that we’re very happy to share with the masses.

In addition to being joined by fellow veteran music mogul L.A. Reid, the hour-long conversation dived into a variety of tangents that felt like a who’s-who of power players in the music industry. With as accomplished as he is though, it’s the cool, humble, and overall gracious manner in which he takes it all in and accepts the glory that comes from holding the formula to the future of music marketing and beyond.
