As a young dj what do you think government should do about entertainment industry?  I want the government to look into entertainment because They’re a lot to do for the young talented coming up, they should create a platform for the entertainers where we can make productions, videos and other because the rate individual directors charge to make a video it’s not pleasing and I would like them to implies some rules and regulations to whatever they’re bringing to support the industry so everything would be in process in this entertainment industry…
