Following the recent news that the members of BLACKPINK would not be renewing their individual artist contracts with YG Entertainment, LISA and her company LLOUD Co. have partnered with RCA Records. Under this deal, LISA will have full ownership of her recordings. 

Secretly Distribution has signed Jazz is Dead and Linear Labs, two companies focused on creating a community for crate digging, to distribution deals. 

With 10,000 artists already onboarded, superfan platform EVEN has official launched out of beta. Along with giving access to exclusive content, first listens, and merch, fans can purchase music directly from the artist under a tiered “pay what you want” system set by the artist. Established acts like French Montana, Omarion, and Hit-Boy are among the artists already on the platform. 

During a “Belmont at the Opry” special event on Tuesday, the Mike Curb Foundation announced a $58 million contribution to Belmont’s expansion onto Nashville’s Music Row- which includes the construction of a 75,000 square facility and the renovation of existing buildings to accommodate new classrooms and songwriting rooms.
