Kevin Brinson is the CEO of Creator's Way Associated Labels, a local hip-hop record company. He also makes his own beats under the name Big Rap. Here he describes his company's first-hand experience getting shut out of radio air play, and names names of DJs who have asked him for payola (pay in exchange for play). 

Note: Although Brinson was willing to name names, Dan and I decided that ethically, we should not air those names until we've had a chance to contact and interview those DJs and radio execs or independently verify Brinson's accusations. We're planning on doing that, so stay tuned.
