At Paladin Vinyl, we take pride in offering a vast and diverse catalog of music, supporting a wide range of voices and backgrounds while upholding principles of respect, inclusivity, and integrity. We believe in artistic expression and the value of differing viewpoints, but we also hold firm ethical standards regarding the content and individuals we choose to support.
In alignment with these values and in partnership with our distributors, we have made the decision to remove all releases by Kanye West from our catalog. We do not support the distribution of content that promotes antisemitism, misogyny, racism, or other forms of hatred. These views are fundamentally at odds with our company’s beliefs and the ethical standards we uphold.
We recognize that music and culture often spark debate and controversy, and we welcome diverse perspectives. However, there is a clear distinction between artistic expression and content that perpetuates harm. As a company, we are committed to ensuring that our catalog reflects our dedication to diversity, respect, and inclusivity.
This decision is effective immediately. We appreciate your understanding and support as we continue to uphold our values and meet the expectations of our partners and customers.
