Big news is Lyor an ex executive of Legendary HipHop Label Def Jam Records and Warner Bros Records has came out of hibernation to launch a label....OOPS... We meant a content company which is financially backed by non other than Google. They also have a long list of others backing the label/content company along with Atlantic Records the label that launched Ray Charles. As many wonder what is it he is getting Google involved along with other financial investors. We know the name 300 comes from the movie 300. The name 300 comes from Greek history of the 300 Spartans that fought in a vicious battle against thousands of Persian soldiers in 480 BC.
Maybe he's trying to lead the neqw school to victory. Many comments were made on the story see below:
The industry has changed and what they have to offer the artist will be surprising since what changes in this industry is out there amongst the indies. But what makes one stick out is the difference they have to others, I'm interested in knowing what Cohen got up his sleeve.
So, is Chief Keef getting royalties for the jacking of his crew's name? The BD set that Chief Keef is from is called the "300" for the exact same reason from Greek history. Except that blood has spilled in Chicago for that name (see Lil JoJo). Way to go!! Making money from the streets without bothering to learn anything about them doesn't seem like a new way of doing business to me. Feels like the same old, same old. I wish them all the best though, honestly. Lyor and Kevin are Legends in this. Hope they win.
They definitely seem to be stressing the digital and market research sides which is amazing. That alone will set them apart.
Indeed
In other news CitySide Records has landed their own major distribution into places major labels are not covering and that market CitySide Records has landed is huge ....like a $85.1 Billion dollar market. A deal where they control the locations. All cities and states that the label/ministry will have their music in will be toured for free to help promote and market their releases. Their releases surprisingly will not just be their own but of partnered labels/ministries from the capital city Tallahassee, Florida area. Tallahassee is a city that has been overlooked by many until rapper Common, T - Pain and group Creed put a mark on the city as the next go to city for new major upcoming talent. The president "Minister Stevie Tee" told sources that the purpose of creating their own distribution was to be an example to many indie labels who seek distribution from majors like Universal Records and Warner Bros and show them we are free of slavery and have control of our destiny in music. He also told sources that their label/ministry will train all other partner labels in becoming a major label/ministry and distributor so that way they can spread the Gospel of Christ Jesus freely without having a major label telling them they can't say that word....'JESUS' which many cable, radio and other major companies prevent from being said over the airwaves and even on records.
Looks like Cohen has something different going on but we can say CitySide Record's is not hid and we know what they are about to do and thats take the nation by spiritual storm.
