That's exactly what Berry Gordy did and he ended up with his own label. Same with most of the hip hop pioneers.

All of the roles need to be handled competently but the daze of having a team of corporate hip hop specialists is gone. Producers and artists are going to need to get really good at everything again in order to survive.
