Entertainment One Global President Chris Taylor, Reservoir Media Management co-founder and CEO Golnar Khosrowshahi, and ole CEO and co-founder Robert Ott make the list alongside such luminaries as Daniel Glass and Scott Borchetta.


The feature profiles the individuals with quotes that include Taylor’s illuminating statement as follows:

Adds Taylor: “We are going to have a whole generation of musicians who [will] miss their opportunity to excel by declining the assistance of well-trained, well-financed companies that can really help a developing act take things to the next level.”

Cypress Hill Returns With Their First Spanish-Language Album 'Dios Bendiga'

The hip-hop veterans spoke to Billboard Canada about the record backstage at Festival d'été de Québec in July, explaining the significance of the record and the importance of connecting with their Latin fanbase across the world.

Released today, Dios Bendiga ("God Bless" in English) is the first LP in four years from the pioneering hip-hop group, whose impact spans over three decades. The new album honours the group's roots, as they are one of the first-ever Latin American hip-hop groups to achieve mainstream success, including the No. 1 album Black Sunday in 1993.
