Distribution Photo.jpg

In 2020, there are many distribution companies that artists, managers and label owners can consider to distribute through but some say there are perks that rule over others, especially as we lead into the future of music and technology advancing.

While keeping 100% of your royalties is vital when it comes to looking out for the best interest of your music, sometimes it’s best to educate yourself on all of their fees and what exactly these terms truly mean when it comes to making your final decision. Majority of them say they don’t take anything from your royalties, however it’s best to do your research before you accept what you read as true.

Here’s the best music distribution services and companies out there today:

  1. SS Global Entertainment (Rated as the number 1 company to work with because the founder, Tiffany Gaines, actually provides coaching and guidance for each artist on how to earn, learn the ins and outs of the business, as well as offers a blueprint of services at wholesale discounts once you sign.) There’s a 70/30 split with the artist taking 70% but provides a payout strategy that currently pays the highest compared to all service fee distributors annually. They also have programs that allow the artist to earn more simply from being a member.

  2. Amada Records (Rated as the number 2 best choice as they serve as a partner with SS Global Entertainment offering similar services and the same percentage breakdown.

  3. TuneCore They state an artist keeps 100% Revenue (however please read the fine print. You can distribute to 150+ Stores. They also offer publishing options.

  4. Ditto Music For just $19 a year you can distribute as much music as you want. They state you keep 100% of your royalties however make sure to read the fine print. They require an international sign up to receive payments.

  5. Record Union Pay a fee yearly based on the amount of projects your distribute.

  6. CD Baby They state an artist keeps 100% Revenue (however please read the fine print. You can distribute to 150+ Stores. They also offer publishing options.

Tiffany Gaines: An Entrepreneur, Music Distributor, Manager, Publicist & Author

Today, we interviewed Tiffany Gaines who was recently featured in Yahoo News as the “First African American, Female CEO and Founder to Own a Corporation Solely Contracting Thousands Including 47 Record Labels”. She is the Founder and CEO of SS Global Entertainment as well as the COO of Amada Records and is passionate about “Promoting female empowerment and Independence for musicians, managers and label owners.” Tiffany Gaines has been building a name for herself as a woman of integrity and professionalism for over 20 years. Let's hear her story…


Please introduce yourself and tell us about what it is that you do. 

My daily purpose is to help my clients, artists, mentees, and business partners discover their true niche within their brands or company. I wear a few hats in the entertainment business, so to sum up what it is that I do in one question would pretty much be impossible. Lol However, I will say my goal towards anyone who meets me is to walk away and say they actually learned a thing or two and, most importantly, found more efficient ways to bring profit towards their journey into financial freedom.


Please tell us about your company.

I'm the Founder and CEO of SS Global Entertainment, COO of Amada Records, and Business manager to a select few elite clientele in the entertainment industry. Music Distributor and publicist for over 4,000 musicians and 47 record labels. International hotel broker for the National Hotel's Association. Author and writer for eleven publications such as google news verified, Hush Weekly, Revolver Magazine, and Grind Weekly Magazine, just to name a few partnered with Hush Media Networks

What are the strategies that helped you become successful in your journey? 

My main focus on the word “Integrity” is what has allowed me to receive full grace and respect in this business. It's not really a strategy; it's more so what makes up most of the Blueprint when it comes to how to progress and grow within my journey. The Entertainment Industry can be considered a cold, money-hungry industry where most people are or at least seem to be more about “self.” I chose the opposite when it came to my purpose. The name of my company is called “Shared Success” Global for that very reason. I wanted to show people that there are plenty of ways to succeed TOGETHER vs. always competing and stepping on necks and backs to climb higher. Other than that, consistency, persistence, and hard work are pretty much what make up the key factors for maintaining stable growth and status in this business. At least that's what it's been with me. In other words, while others were crying for sleep complaining about putting in 40+ hours in a week, I was putting in 80+ to ensure I stayed ahead of the game. 

Any message for our readers. 

Work hard. Focus on building something that is only exclusive to you as an entrepreneur. Make history. Most importantly, don't forget to have fun. It's not always about work, work, work. At the end of the day, you want to make sure you can end your story with a smile.  

 

Fantastic! So tell us, how can people find out more about you?

You can learn more about me here at my official website.

Taurean Meacham Champions Black Life, Wealth and Value In Explosive New Rap Album ‘BLAKK RADIKAL’

The 30th of October 2020, Honolulu-based rapper TAUREAN MEACHAM is exploding back onto the conscious hip-hop scene with ‘BLAKK RADIKAL’, his third project this year and his best work to date. This album is raw, real, full of rage — and it deserves to be heard. He’s talking ancestors and martyrs (‘Saviour’), slavery and shootings (‘Hands In The Sky’), anxiety and insomnia (‘PTSD’). It’s a lot to tackle in one record — and yet Meacham nails it with inimitable finesse. This, above all else, is an album of substance.

“The album is my most complete work to date. There are no wasted bars.” — TAUREAN MEACHAM From an epic intro with soaring Bond-esque orchestral textures (‘The Gift and The Curse’), to a playful Latin inspired/speakeasy jazz crossover (‘Camp Lo’), to the bassy, bossy trap track ‘Thrones’, Meacham proves over and again that he’s not only an artist who understands melody and rhythm, but a self-managed, self-published hip-hop veteran whose level of storytelling, rap flow, production value and attention to detail is impressively, consistently masterful. “The sound is the album spans all sounds of hip hop.

It goes from boom bap, to west coast funk, southern trap, and even classical music. I wanted to challenge myself with the production on the album by having various soundscapes that all flowed cohesively.” Released in July, lead single ‘CHECKS over STRIPES’ — with its addictive, think-twice hook — hammers home the necessity of self-ownership over Black creativity, wealth and life. With scathing metaphors soothed by empowering bars (‘hands on the wheel/create your own lane’) Meacham shows that he’s not here just to sound good on the beat: he’s here to teach us something.

Striving for excellence is explored in ‘The Life’, where Meacham paints his ideal vision of an empowered Black family, placing emphasis on acquiring generational wealth and property. He later spits venom in ‘Juneteenth’, a takedown of the constitution in the wake of Black Lives Matter. Recorded in Hawaii at Primaphonix Studios and engineered by Jerry “SubZero” Wilkins, this album is pain. It’s anger. It’s radical Blackness. And it’s Taurean Meacham at his finest. ‘BLAKK RADIKAL’ is available on all streaming platforms.

Listen Now: 'BLAKK RADIKAL' - Taurean Meacham

ABOUT TAUREAN MEACHAM

Taurean Meacham is a hip-hop and R&B artist based in Honolulu, Hawaii. Known for his conscious rap style and experimental samples, Meacham’s driving force is, in his own words, storytelling: “Music is the number one form of communication across all civilisations. It tells the story of the people. I’m just looking to tell mine.” Influenced by music legends from Prince and Nas to Jimmie Hendrix and David Bowie, Meacham’s creative process is “coordinated chaos” - the one constant is that the words always come first.

He has released a number of independent albums, including November (’06), Untitled (’07), Oahu Noir (’20), JG (’20) and BLAKK RADIKAL (’20).

Franchise TYG stated, “I peaked at #19 on iTunes in the Hip-Hop/Rap genre and that’s when I really started to pay attention.”

J.R.Clark Gearing Up to Release His Sixth Album, "When Muzik Was Good"

jr.jpg

With his sixth album, J.R.Clark continues to deliver his epic storytelling and cinematic production in this eleven track project. The rapper, J.R.Clark introduces the first track of the album "The 757", which illustrates the gritty city of the tidewater region in Newport News and Virginia Beach, Virginia during the global pandemic. His visual content sheds light on how the internet has brainwashed and plagued rappers to promote gang violence by making music videos advertising drugs and weapons.

In contrast, J.R.Clark turns his hat the opposite direction in terms of making music that resonates with all people from different walks of life, and offers a different sonic sound that does not revolve around mumble auto-tune rap styles seen in today's Hip-Hop mainstream culture. Stay tuned for the official release of the album "When Muzik Was Good" on January 15, 2021.

J.R.Clark is aiming to shift the current state of rap with this album.

Lil Baby and Gucci Mane Headline Chart Topping 'Predicted Platinum' Comp Hosted by Khao and The DJ Grid

Grammy-nominated producer, Khao releases a new synergistic, collegial album titled, “Predicted Platinum” which has already peaked the iTunes Charts at #6 over the weekend.

The album is hosted by “The DJ Grid” and consists of a compilation of Khao’s hit productions and collaborations with Khao Music Group’s most talented artists, along with major recording artists such as Gucci Mane, Lil Baby, YBN Namir, Arrested Development, Amara La Negra, BigBankBandz and last but not least, a host of independent recording artists and labels such as “Bag Music Group’s” artists “Kittie Red” and “AD” as well as Villieion Empire’s “BTK Villieion.”

“Predicted Platinum” is expected to be a continuing series with new slots currently available for serious independent artists and labels with a minimal budget.

Artists and labels can send submissions at kmgdistro.com. Once chosen, artists may receive other opportunities which includes marketing, play-listing, promotions and a promotional spotlight on Khao Music Group’s platforms.

The project affords an opportunity for artists to gain exposure on a national platform in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, in which physical sales of recorded music revenues have decreased by more than one-third. As numerous music events, including music festivals, concert tours, award shows, and the like were cancelled or postponed, impacts are experienced across all genres and sectors of the industry.

“While having conversations with my peers regarding the current state of the industry and the manner in which the lack of sales, shows and promotions has affected major and independent recording artists. Therefore, I decided to reach out to “The DJ Grid” and we came up with the project to allow independent artists to fill slots on the album alongside the major artists to give them an opportunity to experience increased success alongside major recording artists,” states Khao.

Undeniably authentic, it’s her voice and electrifying sound that blends so naturally in this masterpiece. Her music has absolutely no boundaries which gives clarity as to how it managed to reign alongside some of the most cherished household names of today.

Usually when one celebrates charting a project on iTunes, it’s immediately following release, however recently, both Sasé’s “Unconditional 5.0” album and “Breathe” single both soared up the U.S. R&B/Soul iTunes chart surprisingly four years later and she’s more than elated. The album peaked at 66 while the single at 60 ranking both simultaneously in the Top 100 category.

The album features acts such as G LeBeaud from the Rude Boys, legendary keyboardist, Rodney Stepp from The Spinners and guitarist, Reggie Griffin, who has worked with iconic names such as the Isley Brothers, Boyz II Men, Toni Braxton, Aretha Franklin just to name a few. She’s recognized nationally for live cover performances of the late Whitney Houston, Gladys Knight, Diana Ross, Donna Summers and many more. Her persistence in music landed her a spot performing in Spain internationally with The Supremes for approximately seven months. She then toured nearly a decade with The Platters where she was able to open up for the legendary, Babyface. She caught the attention of her manager Sid “Uncle Jamz” Johnson and later signed to MECAP Music Entertainment in 2014. Her debut album was recorded and later released in 2016.

Sasé currently performs locally continuing to pursue her love for music. Her unexpected leap of appreciation from her fans revealed in 2020, that no matter how long it’s been since her first or latest project’s release, there is always someone out there who can bring it back to life.

“I want to be thought of as someone who left love and passion in the hearts of many and paved the way for other determined artists”.

Her humility speaks louder than words. Stream the album on Spotify.
