Philadelphia, PA -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/14/2014 -- Carvin Haggins 2 time Grammy Winner best known for working with the biggest names in the music industry such as, Musiq SoulChild, Raheem Devaughn, Justin Timberlake and Chrisette Michele, Chris Brown and more. Haggins has had enough of the over-sexed, murderous, drug dealing being emphasized in music over the air waves.

Carvin went on to say "the way a lot of the music has gone over the years there is simply no "balance" the majority of it is negative. He gave examples in saying, even tho you had NWA there was Public Enemy, there was a balance in the music, there were choices".

Carvin states, he does not have a problem with artist expressing themselves, however they should keep in mind the messages they are sending to young children. The violence depicted in music is taking away from the artists true "creativity". Carvin noticed several differentiating factors in the distribution of music over the air waves. The differences on pop radio vs urban radio stations are significant. Haggins noticed the lyrics on pop radio are often time bleeped out or removed, vs. on urban radio the lyrics are "explicit".

Haggins started a petition on Change.org
